Desolation of your heart (written down, it's so cliche') My God--to beat this demon back-- I would take it all away. If I could be your mother, new-- lullabyes I'd sing to you. Every hunger, every thirst, every bubble ever burst-- I'd repair them-- rainbow hued... I rage against these gods who laugh-- their wicked grins of aftermath... Hold my hand and understand, it's all that I can do. (for Kathe') [This message has been edited by serenity (edited 05-27-2000).] |

Sometimes we can't go back and repair what happened in the past, but we can start fresh. Very good poem!  |

If I could be your mother, new-- lullabyes I'd sing to you. Every hunger, every thirst, every bubble ever burst-- I'd repair them-- rainbow hued... ------------ im back me sweet.. it is so hard to watch a loved one go thru heartache and pain, and feel like we cant heal them... you tender heart shines in this one me twin. *blowing kisses to the south* jm Some things cannot be explained by verses that rhyme, They are not measured by the commitment of time. Some emotions run too deep to be described by words, Forgiveness and understanding-remain the most beautiful words ever heard. ~Janet Marie~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |

Thanks to all---just needed to express how helpless I feel regarding my friend's grief--I had no idea how to reply to her questions of "why"--then I read Elizabeth Santos' "REASONS"--still don't know why--but I understand now that that is not a question for me to answer--so I'd like to thank Elizabeth again, you have taught me much with your grace and dignity and faith. |

S'en, You continue to force beauty through the feelings of despair, anger and bitterness. It's obvious you have lots of hope, and that's what I mean when I say you are a strong woman. And with words like these, you are definitely not oblivious. Mike |
