Empty Vessel
Empty Vessel
Fair description of me
I do not cry in despair
But I'm screaming inside
Sickness engraved in my mind
Communication waivers....haunting me
Clearness of mind here or there
I am a empty Vessel
Drugs running through my veins
18 pills on a good day
Just to walk again
But I go nowhere
My mind is not the same
Parkinson's I fight every hour...every day
A battle already lost
Science put me on my feet again
But I am not the same
I am a empty Vessel
I used to serve others
Living, smiling, loving life serving God
Now I'm numb and alone
God why can't I hear you?
After all these years
Being faithful to you
How can I now not hear?
I am a empty Vessel
I'm knocking
Open the door
I need you!
But the door is closed
I am a empty Vessel
Will I ever be full again?
I am a empty Vessel....

My Dear Terry,
As Silent Dreamer says, this is a heart-breaking write, about a person afflicted with a debilitating disease, that is slowly destroying them.
You have perfectly portrayed that being, who has lost control of themselves, and now, has become "An Empty Vessel".
Love,
Larry xxx
Dear Larry,. That person is me. I pray that I can keep it up to take care of my beloved mother. She will be 82 in a few days. She had to take care of me for 5 years while I was confined to bed. I am sure God will grant me this prayer. And of course finish the rent house I'm building so I can maintain financial independence and not be a burden. Sometimes I must do wierd things for I have been misunderstood by others and couple of times but God is always good. You are a wonderful man and I enjoy precious moments that I get to connect with you. Take care...Love Always...Terry Kay?
My Dear Terry,
You are an amazingly gifted and strong woman, who, with your iron-willed determination, and a little help from God, will conquer all obstacles in front of you. It is my honor to know you, and share these "precious moments" together. I have found another poetic Soulmate.
All my love,
Larry xxx
Thank you Larry. Heart warming to know we feel the same. Love, Terry Kay
Dearest TK
A beautiful and heart warming write and superbly written.
With words like this I am privileged to know of your existence and although we maybe miles apart I think of you fondly. You are simply a wonderful person and a fantastic writer.
Kieran,. Thank you... your opinion is greatly valued by me...love, Tk .TK is what my friends call me!
Dear Poet Sister TERRY,
Not only is this truly heartbreaking but it tears at the foundations of Faith itself..... and trust me.....I know what I'm talking about as our 'situations' are somewhat similar.....I take only 12 pills a day now to be able to function...... But....I must say I agree with Barry in that "Anyone who can write like that is far from empty."..... your ability to offer so much Love & kindness to so many here on COSMO seems further proof that there's a whole lot left in that spiritual gas tank of yours!! ......I could name some of the wonderful things you've done for C & Me away from here as well but I think you get my point....... God uses people like us (those with chronic illnesses) to ends that I don't think I quite understand yet..... But I do think we'll understand at some point!!.... So please, dear poet sister, don't lose faith, you're sharing beauty & knowledge with words here each day......I don't think there are too many acts in this world that are much more Godly than that!!...... and remember..... you need to talk?..... we're a phone call away!!......I am your friend and admirer.......T xo ?✴❤❤✴?
Dear Poet Brother Tony, I agree with everything you said. God would wake me up at sharply 2:00 am with his message right in the forefront of my mind and He was always so kind. I was amazed with the love and gentleness in which he would relay what he wanted to show me. Like you I have grown spiritually. But i am having trouble hearing now and I think it's the meds. Maybe I need to meditate and spend more time in quietness. I used to get those goose bumps and understood the prompting of the holy spirit easily. It is upsetting that i am having trouble hearing but I am a determined woman and will work on that. Can't quiet my mind. It is like I'm on speed. You might not relate to that!
I know that we will understand things fully at some point in time. I have a lot of compassion for you with your struggles. I have given some thought about you and I have prayed for you. I will continue.
Thank you for your encouragement on this new adventure of writing.
Well I could go on and on but I better let you go. Take Care. Love you guys. Terry Kay
