Sometimes…

in the ebbing light

of a cold day…

when memories

of a thorny past

are haunting me

until the tightness in my chest

is almost unbearable….

I would like to hide

on an island called

forgetfulness……

If you find this Island, please share it's location with me.
There are times I wish I could go there....

Umm...You mean you don't live there already? LOL! I know I certainly do, so come on over. I'll send someone for you.

Seriously, this says it simply. You want to escape once in a while. Don't we all?

I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement.

(sigh) Oh Neeraja, I understand this feeling so very well, sweet friend, back in my childhood lies many sad memories I wish to forsake and I just want them all to be forgotten while preserving the symbol of that child! (big hugggssssss) This is beautifully heartfelt, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Neeraja, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

It is a lovely island
and it is just over there,
beyond the fog,
and pale of sky
beyond the first star of night

just there,
do you see it?

You are all so sweet!!!

And I know... the Island is in ourselves... that is why it is so difficult to find...

Thanks!!
