Overwhelmed I feel so much in silence yet words I can not use nor know the meaning of lapse behind the vocabulary of this simple one protraction seems to be one of my greatest sins underneath the hurry and wait and patience and I are not partners so I dance alone at dusk finding no solace in the light between me and built walls of brine yet I find I still light fires in the dripping darkness in hopes that this chill will soon pass just some words cut out |

"yet I find I still light fires in the dripping darkness in hopes that this chill will soon pass" And it will. Excellent write. The title pulled me in. I was curious how 1 slick_lady could be "Overwhelmed" JL |

Sometimes it doesn't... but most of the time it will, if we're open to the warmth. The first thing they do when they get a hypothermia victim inside, is to get that cold coat off them, so they can warm up. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ [This message has been edited by Ratleader (02-17-2005 11:07 PM).] |

Leader of Rats is right, perhaps if you bared yourself more, the warmth will penetrate to your very soul and ease your chill. Whenever I feel overwhelmed by life, I divest myself of the extranious and all that which drains my life force. I make every effort to simplify. Sending you a warm hug, EA |
