  Languid mind
     reverts to vile memories
        Allowing betrayal's
           clear recollection
              Blinded trust
                 collides with love's belief
                     that time will heal all wounds

Chris, thank you for these words. I believe it is love that heals all wounds, love for ourselves, taking care of ourselves, comforting ourselves. I believe that every second on the clock is a movement of blessing, for those vile memories?  They
fall away through time. Through time and passages you begin to look forward and not backward.  You begin to live as though there were no time. As though all things good and beautiful are yours and you deserve them.

When a person feels that, as I did, reading this and as I have felt that, you realize that time can not rob you of joy but replace those memories with hours of unending peace and happiness.....and you find contentment.

-befriend yourself and you will never be alone-

Dear Lady of Shallot - How kind of you to offer your thoughts and feelings. They are very much appreciated. I too believe that time will heal all wounds.....some just take a little longer and a few more Mickey Mouse bandages than others. hugs, Chris

Yes, time does heal much pain but I think having love in ours lives again goes a long way to full recovery. Very well said.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Time heals the wounds, but it does not erase the memories. My experience tells me this. You speak volumes in these few words.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Tracey, Yes, the memories are still there, although, take heart, they do become fainter as precious time goes on. Thankyou, Chris

Time only deadens the memory of pain Healing requires tomorrows of new joys and seasons of Love which will help blend in scars on hides thickened in defense. Enjoyed your write.

RSWells, Yes, I think that there might be quite a few of us straining to stand upright with these "thick hides" of ours. Life goes on ..with or without us. Thankyou for your comments. Chris

This is very good Chris ... I read this several times and it kept getting better
I may just have to write something about this through my own experiences
Thanks for sharing
