A quiet ache, carried without accusation, only truth.
You named the bond without clinging to it, and that steadiness… it lingers. There’s a softness in you that knows how to hold what was broken without breaking again. Let that part breathe a little longer.
Goodness Trudi, I feel an ache. Beautiful words you’ve written, with such acceptance. 💕
Thank you for sensing that, Algeria. ❤️
My pleasure Trudi. 💕
Your lines opened like a bruise that glows.

This is so poignant, Trudi. Giving your voice to a voiceless self.
Yes - my tiny self. Thank you, Heidi.💞

Thank you❤️
There are not hidden just lightly masked depths here
I love the care that you show.
I see you as a friend, Steve. Therefore, I care.
The feeling is truly and perhaps empathetically mutual.

This is so generous but still heartbreaking to me, Trudi. So many shades and layers of love here. xo
It's such a hard topic to write about, for me. I never know how it is going to surface. Thank you, Lori.❤️
Trudi, this makes me feel a bit empty inside. I don’t know why it hit me this way. Beautiful flow as usual. 🫶🏻
You're reading my heart, Jo-Ann. Thank you for seeing that.🤗
I was hoping that you wouldn’t be upset by my feelings. 🙏
No way. You are in tune with mine.❤️
Just beautiful, Trudi. Acceptance and understanding in a few lovely lines. Thank you.
I’m so pleased you liked this one, Candy 🤗✨

Thank you, Cori 🤗
I read this poem with great affection. Then I went on to read other poems of yours. And the mark is there, the same one that lives here in peace.
What mark did you recognise? Glad it’s peaceful in this poem 🤗✨
A mark of sensitivity, the touch of magic from someone who has been hurt but is at peace with it and has managed to turn the negative into positive.
Oh wow - that’s so lovely. Thank you, Rolando 🤗
