wounded by truth
the night pierces my heart
river of tears


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

Beautiful, but sad, Pegasus.  You've started a little rivulet with me.  

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Pegasus, This is beautiful but so very sad...I pray you are being comforted by friends or family. I too have had some bad news lately and am praying my way through it thanks to much support. Ellie< !signature-->

ouch!  peg, this one hurts so much...    

however, in my personal experience..i find that i'd much rather know the truth, even if it hurts, than to be ignorant, or lied to..

also, i've found that if you let the hurt in..feel it..and let it go..then it goes sooner than later    

take care of you..hugs, g

…truth; although it hurts terribly, is a cleansing pain which brings new understanding and acceptance of the limitations of our world...

Pegasus,
  This is a touching senryu, touching the emotions that accompany heartfelt pain! Well done!

When the veiling cloud has passed
Playful shadows dance

light of the new day
infuses this heart with hope
the garden calls me

This was great! I fully enjoyed this one!


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!
