I've been in three places.

I've been in anger
where my heart got colder,
in the rebellion
with a chip on my shoulder.

Been to the point
that I just don't care,
then became a warrior
to fight the unfair.

Been the sad victim
with face in the dirt,
watering the weeds
with tears of hurt.

Given in to the nothing,
defeated, not free,
head hung down,
oh, woe is me.

Now I am here pondering
all those years that I spent
weaving to the center
of the web of content.

Sometimes we over think what was in the cards to begin with.
Getting to where we're meant to be, emotionally speaking,
is a long time coming.  And when we (I) get there we (I) wonder
why it took so long!!!  In my old age it seems that pieces
of lifes puzzle fit together more easily, when in fact
they were there all along, I just didn't see it.  

I identify with so much of what you write, and I thank you for
sharing your life lessons and poetic insights, Dixie.

I suppose I should be thankful
you're weren't next door

You would have been
so much trouble . . .

Dixie my dear, I wish you lived next to me and I would cheer you up. It is a soul destroying thing to live in anger as you only destroy yourself. Be happy and grateful with what you do have and I wish you well. God bless,   love

All the roads you've traveled have brought you to this place of contentment.

Relax and enjoy! It's about time, Dixie Girl!

I love the road, the journey that you take us down here. And the ending gives satisfaction and inspiration as well as a hope to fix eyes upon.

You are a fascinating and wonderful woman.  I think this poem really illustrates that.

I get it. I am kind of guilty of the weaving you described. Glad you found your center and contentment. You deserve all the best Dixie.
