Life… What is it really? A string of moments that we try to fill With something meaningful Love… Don’t we all want it? Don’t we all need to feel that one touch That fills the spaces We play hit and miss throughout our lives Guessing on who’s what, and what who is We really have no way of knowing… I thought, many times, that you were the one …Or you Maybe this time; it’s you… Only to find that it wasn’t… It wasn’t you… But Did you have to leave? Did you have to become silent to me? Could you have stayed and called me friend? I would have loved to love you Forever in that capacity— But you didn’t give me the opportunity… "Friend"... What do we look for? Who do we find? How do we know who to trust… Love…Oh! I have found Love! Right under my nose Once I quit reaching Love found me… And in that moment, when it touched me I leapt that proverbial leap into the heart of the heart-- Into the atmosphere, I became a thousand pieces Then down to earth again, to become a new me Life Became something different Something worth calling Life Something real… Yet, somehow I still miss you Sometimes... You came in, and you went out And you don’t come back to say hello… And I don’t like losing people… I just don’t like losing people That’s what this is about… I know now-- This thought process Loss… A quiet humming in the Heart of the Life In the midst of the Love In the pith of me Did you have to go? You smiled my smiles And felt my tears But because, perhaps, I did not love you the way you thought I might have You had to go… I miss you… Somehow Life is lacking Without your laughter… --dgvarner 021506 "We of the craft are all crazy...all are more or less touched."

Deep and longing...with lots of questions that we all ask but half know we will never REALY know...but this is how people are...they leave before they should because love is so deeply entrenched within them they cannot bare to be just ''a friend'' so they leave hoping the hurt will subside..but it will not...no matter how far away they go it is an open wound they conceal with clothing but it is a wound that will never heal...enjoyed this write ..thank you..

URIAH, TRACIE66, GOLDENROSE, LEEJ-- Thank you so much for your replies! I guess I was just rambling...but figured I'd put it out there anyway...I'm glad it made some sense to someone other than me!  hugs,g "We of the craft are all crazy...all are more or less touched." Lord Byron |

A lonely poem indeed, haven't we all walked down that road, only to find our way back in good time. For some reason this reminds me of a poem by Oriah Mountain Dreamer called the "Invitation". Sorry, I don't know how to put the link here but you can google it and it is sure to come up. I think her last lines say it all. "I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in those empty moments" Good honest writing, dgvarner~ *enjoyed* |

bumping this back up to the top I read it last night and loved it, and I read it again just now and I still love it. Parts of this took me back... way back... usually I don't enjoy that particular trip, but it was nice this time. Thank you for sharing this and then He created the horse... |

SKYFIRE..Thank you so much for thinking this worthy of a "bump"! I'm glad it was a good journey back for you while reading This writing is about so many things really...about love of so many colors. I believe even friendship is an intimate thing...and I feel a hole where the old friends used to be--touch is powerful, and the occasional email just lacks the full power of a hug or a quick kiss..And just because I'm in a happy place in life, doesn't mean I don't miss the people who used to be a big part of it! anyway..rambling on...lol Thanks so much for reading! hugs, g "We of the craft are all crazy...all are more or less touched."

"And I don’t like losing people… I just don’t like losing people" nodding glum but if anyone has noticed a new spark in me, it's because I have recently discovered something. When we love, we take those we love into ourselves, and they become a part of us forever. and that, sweet friend, is true, if you let it be so.  |

SERENITY BLAZE... YES! You've said the absolute truth--because we allow ourselves to love, we bring them in and they DO become part of us! However...I still miss them sometimes..LOL thanks for reading hugs, g |
