Where I belong


I am weak, I am strong
I will fit where I belong
don't know where it is for now
but it will come, if I allow
tomorrow, I start a brand new day
with all the flowers in my bouquet
I'm not afraid as I once was
tired of looking through life's gauze
pulling it down, running straight through
the other side has a different view
looking for so much more
finding it as I now explore
giving all I have to give
a different life now to live

You belong in the middle of an entire room full of flowers.
Your writing is wonderful, right from the heart, I like that!

everytime I close my eyes, I see your face, I taste you on my lips...
every night I fantasize that I can feel you on my fingertips...

Ok, Helen, how did you get inside of my head this evening! These are power words!
know what I liked about this? You said "I am weak, I am strong." not denying that sometimes we are weak, and there's nothing wrong with being weak. But we are women, so we're strong also. I like that thought very, very much!

Like a flower
With tender peddles
Sweet sent
Filling my nostrils

Warmth of sun
On naked skin
Due drops
On tender grass

The wind
Under eagle’s wing
Spring rain
To meadows lush

Young chick
In feathered nest
Feelings of love
To a lonely heart

for you
You belong
Because
You are you


your words always touch me

You know where you belong. All you have to do is to take the first step forward to come back. The part of you for the first step to meet the world you want to create. You control the world around you, for the center of your universe should be your heart.
