Hearing their sad moans
and watching their tearful eyes as I left,
leaving the garden was a lot harder
then I thought it would be.

I envisioned this moment in my head many times
and the picture was much sweeter then this,
the smells were so much more vivid,
the air tasted fresher
and my mind wasn't nearly this crowded.

It was supposed to be a victory for me,
to rid myself of your eyes,
but what I am feeling is sadness.
Leaving all of my monsters behind isn't supposed to be this hard.

As I turn one last time,
I quietly acknowledge you all
and a tear runs down my face when I look to you,
my favorite ones
I feel the hole that will be left in your place,
where am I now,
without all my demons to guide me?

"to rid myself of your eyes"
Such interesting monsters and demons you have!
I love a half told story.  Thanks, Possum.

This was just way too good! Some of the most difficult leaving done in this life time is our departure from our demons.

very wonderful..i loved this much!

those darned demons..they can be such a familiar thing that we become comfortable with them...and feel naked without them...but imagine yourself cloaked in angel wings my friend...and nakedness will be no more...  

hugs, g

time makes us bolder..even children get older..and i'm gettin' older too...
