In Spill

my love
pours into
your hands
a generous
amount of
liquid silver
that seeps
through fingers
wasted on
the floor

I can understand this completely.  only just the other day I admitted to somone I liked him.  He didn't laugh or anything he just let it go.  I think I would rather he laughed, at least then he would have reacted.

I don't know if today is a good day, or if yesterday was, or if tomorrow will be, but I'd like to think so.

Ouch, Helen. I felt that. It does
hurt when somebody doesn't return love
the same way you give it.

I've felt this many times before and sadly others have also felt this from me.  This is well said, Helen, you just keep getting better and better.

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!

Indeed... It should be held more carefully within cupped hands...
