*Midnight in my Mind.*
These words are a collection of my thoughts at the moment, as I try to find clarity and direction from within.
Maybe the Karma that I am now trying to learn, may guide me on to something better than what I have ever had before.
*Midnight in my Mind.* belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, PhilosophicalAll of my life I have sat and wondered,
will I live to believe.
All of my life I have dreamed of a time,
when tranquillity within I receive.
But the road had been long,
and the water’s hard to swim,
and the air has been very hard to breath,
But from now until dawn,
I endeaver to be reborn,
for it’s Midnight in my mind.
.
All of my life I have thought of a day,
when at last my mind may be clear.
All of my life when the darkness has come
I have laid awake with nothing to fear.
But the path had been narrow,
So I dig with my harrow,
To try to sort out things so deep
So I look for some Karma
without having drama
for it’s Midnight in my mind.
.
Maybe in time when my mind becomes clear,
and I find the peace from within
Maybe in space when I look at my face
and see changes that try to begin.
But only in time will I try and be bold
and allow these changes to take seed
For these feelings do stay
and they don’t go away
for it’s Midnight in my mind.

Larry my dearest friend. These words are very deep and meaningful. I understand what you are feeling. As you and I have talked about things we both know that life is hard and these past months have been the hardest for me. I wish to go and hide in a shell and only come out to take photos or meet great friends like you. I do know that life sometimes just sucks but I do know that God is good. Sometimes the people that serve Him are not. I have found that out these past few months but I won’t hold His children for their stupidity. It seems to be midnight in my mind alot these days too so keep on asking and you will find the answers you are looking for my friend. I love ya dearly and I would have never made it these past few months without your support and friendship. Maybe that is why we are here. All for each other, and maybe I can give you some peace my friend. I hope you know that you will find peace. It’s there. When you look at your face in the mirror just know that you have a friend in Texas that knows you are pretty special!
Hugs from Texas.

Very nice writing/poem Mate!!!
Larry Davis replied
Thanks Steph.
Every now and again I get this feeling to write something, so I just go with the flow.

Beautifully written and so deeply felt my spirit brother, the Karmic lesson is good truths, like who we are today being the result of yesterday’s choices, and who we’ll be tomorrow, the result of today’s…Good choice to share this today my friend ;) xoxoxoxoxo
Larry Davis replied
You are more of a sister to me than what you think you are…
And I thank you for it.

heart felt and well written Larry (big smile)
Larry Davis replied
And you are also a true sister to this weak person.
Thank you for your strength.

Larry life is a lesson we all have to travel, a road that can be rocky or smooth. Sometimes the outcome is our own choice and sometimes fate deals the hand. Keep faith my friend that others experience the same highs and lows, some more high and some more low. We all need to enjoy our highs and keep them firmly imprinted in our minds and hearts, to make that list of things we love and know that others do love us and to hold onto those thoughts in the low moments. We are lucky to have been chosen to live in a wonderful part of this mixed up world, we are isolated and protected from what is happening elsewhere and for this we must be thankful. One wonderful thing that comes out of these low moments is the wonderful written words you share with us all – thank you.
Larry Davis replied
What you said about “Sometimes the outcome is our own choice and sometimes fate deals the hand” is so true.
I have had my own choice deliver me an outcome that I didn’t want so many times, that it has now made me make a choice to look for something better.
With friends like you to give me support, I hope I make the right choices……
Since I have been learning about Karma, I can honestly say that, my days have been a lot clearer.
And what I wright, is truly what I feel.
Thank you Bev, for being who you are.

There are so many things i would say to you Larry after reading your beautiful piece of heartfelt writing….. but the most of which is…... if you could spend a day in the world beyond this world, then return, you would see with new eyes, that none of this crap earth stuff matters, nothing that we take so seriously is worth anything in real terms, and the things that DO matter, are the invisible, small, magical things that we treasure from day to day but so often forget or overlook.
You know what these things are already Larry…...
If you wanted to truly understand karma or find “god” you would go out in nature and be alone with yourself and listen to the silence…... and know your journey has been a long one, but you are constantly growing, evolving and BEcoming…..more closer to The One you are at the core of your soul…..
Larry Davis replied
I have experienced what you have suggested many times.
Even when I place my arms around a tree, or stand on my own in a forest and hear the silence and smell the earth.
That is more important than paying the bills or survival itself.
To me, being part of the family of nature, is more important than being part of the structure of society.
To me, this is Karma.
I’m glad you are part of that family.
Thanks Sunshine.

Larry, this is a wonderful piece & I think at some stage we’ve all been there, yet you’ve managed to express it in such a great way – thanks for sharing!
Larry Davis replied
Hello you….
Just being me.
Sometimes I go to the deepest part, that I sometimes find it hard to return.
I have been told bluntley to stop living my past and just live from day to day.
So this is all part of the transgretion I suppose.
Thanks for stopping to show your support, my friend.
NordicBlackbird

Larry Davis replied
Mmmmm,,,,,So much said in so few words.
I see what you mean….
Thanks Nat.
You have some great writings.

A lot of my stuff has been inspired by feelings that I have for certain images that I come across.

Congratulations Larry …....... some in depth thinking there my friend ….... I am still on the road of finding out! great writing again and congrats too on your feature! You deserve the accolade my friend! – David :>))
Larry Davis replied
I have had an eternal struggle with my demons.
Some you just have to accept and get on with life.
But sometimes it can be an up hill battle.
Thanks for your reply David.
I do appreciate it.
Bev Woodman
Congratulations Larry on the feature – I have read this before and commented back then … and again today as I read it just rings so true to what I feel. So many mixed emotions. I have added it to my favourites because its something I want to read again. Larry this would also be wonderful put to music.
Larry Davis
Even though I have played music all of my life, I have never tried to write it.
I can’t read music, I just have a perfect memory when it comes to notes and scores…...
