Winter Heart!

Winter blue grey,harsh and cold filled with sleet,ice,and snow,days of
depression and soul sadness makes you fear a thing called madness.
No light bright and cheery,each day just seems more dreary,all the things
future and past float haunting there within your mind.
Days run by into the night,darkness settles in your heart,no lifting comes
of the funeral pall,no reaching out to shake it off acceptance settles deep
inside.
What use now for moving on for getting up and dusting off,ragged tattered
dreams of better times drift away like patchy fog just whisps of smoke on the
wind.
Standing in a darkened room spirit shaken with the thoughts invading,what
brings the human to this place of giving up on better days?
Moving slowly from window to window seeking a peace you are never
finding,separated from the whole world feeling like no one is caring.
Trying so hard for understanding of your own uncaring,I have been there
walked that dark path,if we tell the truth we all have,in that land that steals
your mind.
The only real hope seems to lie in that small ray of bright sunshine,one
shared smile from a loving frind one gentle hand reaching out to help.
Gift those you know facing today the loneliness that winter brings with a
little time and understanding,take the time to say hello,to make that call and
reach out let them know someone cares.
Such a simple thing we each could do,by stepping outside our narrow
view,telling them to snap out of it,get over it,grow up and deal with it,is not
helping but making worse that feeling of uselessness.
These are easy things to say but for the Winter Heart sometimes the
impossible to do,left in helpless tears,or raging,they do not understand themselves
what they are feeling.
For those few who have never known such days,never faced that unclimbable
mountian,who feel and show only impatience,walk a mile in their shoes before
you judge them for one day before this life is over you too will face days of
unexplainable sadness and silence!

Dedicated to my beloved granddaughter,Jennifer,who is once again in hospital
for cutting herself,who just can not understand or overcome the Winter
Heart. My love for her is unconditional,my need to understand in even some small
way,and try to help her better led me to searches. I would like to share with
you as well,perhaps there is someone precious in your life who is tormented
as well?

My friend,

the hardiest heart of a grandmother
cannot lessen the savage dispair of
the youngest child's winter heart,
except to continue
to give sight to the fact that winter
is but a mere few months, with spring,
summer and fall all to live for.  Three
out of four months would seem to those
deepest in the heart of winter a
wonderfully phantasmal time...

and that she is not alone.  Her answer
is not the answer, but it is understood.

Please, let her know?  That you, as her
grandmother, have plenty of women surrounding
you, none of which she might ever know,
who fear this very thing for their very own
granddaughters, and grandsons.

And let her know that it is all right for
her...to be a leader, against this very fear.

Because, she can.

I know you will continue to stand by your granddaughter with love..
and thoughtful understanding.
Keep letting her know she is not alone..
and very very loved.
Hugs~Nancy

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

   ~AHO~ Nvdaegehi Utsisdalugisgv,it is this very thing I try so hard to help her understand.What she is feeling,far too many other young ones today they feel the same. The spirit seeking and not finding,perhaps she could help them to understand better their own hearts and live better lives.
my loving thanks and many blessings

Granny
my heart stands there
with Jennifer
and with you...
how difficult it is to love so much
and long to help a beloved child
