Somewhere a mother holds a child
gently to her breast,

Somewhere two lovers stroll, hands clasped,
in contented unity,

Somewhere, in stubborn silhouette, a man stands,
tall and proud, true to his belief,

Somewhere a man weeps, cloaked in his pain
without release,

Head bowed, he whispers to the night,
a lament echoed by the wind,

For all that I should have thought
and did not,

For all that I should have said
and did not,

For all that I should have done
and did not,

Forgive me my weakness in times of trial,
and for those yet to come,

For I am as a child lost in a great multitude,
Frightened, uncertain, alone,

Yearning for the light that will lead me home.


                      
                    



the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Beautiful, pegasus.  This is a place perhaps everyone needs to come to at some time.  Thanks for giving me something to think about.

Pegasus; Avery beautiful and insightful poem. It is only when we finally find the courage to look within, and face our own truth that we finally see the light, The light then shines on all that is good within us and we learn to finally love who we are.

Sometimes you have to let go and move on,

thank you my friends..

special note to Maria..haven't you ever wished you had thought or said or done something differently that would have made a big difference in your life, but because of your own inperfection, was unable to?

Think we all have been in that dark place, lost/alone...and full of regrets...wanting to reach out, but so afraid to..

Wonderfully written words of aching grief ...

Actully yes .... guess I understand what you mean now.

Life has got to chnage,
Nothing stays the same,
Soon it will be time,
For me to move on.
