Blue sky up above and I’m deep in love until the heat of the day brings rage out to play in droplets cascading like a waterfall from the brow of a woman adorned no more. It’s a suffering placed on many and all when life turns the dial from youth to old age and clouds the vision with hazy dreams rising up from the burner of hope. Though once was a summer that seeded results and bloomed a rose from arid soil volcanic eruptions of time’s many twists have buried the good deep into the bad. Clearly today there’s a reason, they say waiting somewhere like a crown on display and I wonder if then a woman with jewels will walk upright, proud, to have suffered this way. Helen |

"It’s a suffering placed on many and all when life turns the dial from youth to old age and clouds the vision with hazy dreams rising up from the burner of hope." No kidding! Yes, I think there's a crown somewhere and we should walk proud, my friend.  ....jo |

Thanks Leej, Jo, and Dixie. I guess we all know what I'm talking about - more so is the pity but that's just life. |

Honeybunch - be proud, trust me!! Some days it is hard to remember that, what with all the changes that go on, but we are still the same person we have always been, just sweetened with wisdom, experiences, and more memories. I like to think of it as a graduation from Princess to Queen  We RULE baby! Hugs~~ Caroline He who wants a rose must respect the thorn. |

Caroline - Thank you! Yes, a queen indeed but still with the hopes and dreams of a princess and always, forever, in training! |
