I do not remember completely
How it was
What went wrong
Or why it stopped

Still I have an image
Of soft release
An idea
That surrender is not weakness
And am haunted
By my own lack of strength

Perhaps it is Karma
For all the self absorbed things
I have ever done

The forgetful lapses
Into thinking it was ok
To think about me

I do remember…
It was something I enjoyed
And reveled in    
When all else seemed
Crumbling
In decay

So
Still self-absorbed
I write this
Wondering if I will ever
Know it again
Or if I ever truly
Did

A message we could all take and put under
our pillow...so that we don't forget...
Nice write..

Cpathair,
Very enjoyable and enigmatic write

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Something tells me you will know it again for you are still within the hold of the soft release...

well done, Sir...I have missed your particular style of writing...and just look! You've a new audience....

(BIG HUGGGSSSSSSS) I believe that every now and then we feel we lose this strength to softly release ourselves and surrender for freedom, but there will come a time when we all fight free and find relief in ourselves! (sigh) This is sooooo powerfully touching, sweet friend, always believe in your heart, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

"Perhaps it is Karma

A powerful self assessment.
