listen to the echoes in this room,
with four walls filled with memories.
shouting calling out to you,
what for so long you've been blind to see.
open up the door,
let the shadows draw back,
and you will the whisper
of what was left here now.
you will feel the cold,
the tension,
the numbing shiver in your spine
a haunting spirit of what used to be
a past that could not get free..

here in this sanctuary,
i wrote in the walls,still imprinted;
songs from my heart..
the sun, the star, and the day in the rain,
they were all causes of my pain.
here in this sanctuary,
i still come back
to speak with your ghost
longing,needing, still wont forget
this sanctuary
where we first and last met..

Beautifully poignant! Memories become extremely vivid, when we step into such a sanctuary.

Love,

Hiya PI Girl! Your Island cousin here (The Marianas. I'm half Saipanese and was born and raised out in the Pacific Islands). I have to say that your initial intro spoke of someone who was unsure of their own abiliies and who lacked experiential confidence. Gotta tell you, girl, you lack nothing. You are one of the best, posting along with some of the best. Start swaggering a little, lol!
