Outpouring

Poured sweet liquid amber

 

In memory

 

Which overflowed,

Spilled over,

Flooded…

 

So I poured another

 

Trying to forget.

In our own culture there's an old saying that through drinking they can drown their problems . To some or most . Their problems happened to be good swimmers . Does requires more pouring . Just a thought of why sometimes people drinks when they are going through rough times .

Our problems are good swimmers - that is so true - and a reason why this is never a solution. But still, we may seek a momentary numbing... Thank you, Neil.

Holidays bring us back to other times...when those we loved were in our lives and celebrated with us. The emotions in this one are intense, Rita. Lydi**

I don't know how many times I used alcohol to numb the pain, temporarily.
Short but powerful are your words.

Thank you, Dale...

This is so perfect, and both describes an underlying sorrow, and why we do some things we do sometimes.
