I’m tired of waiting
of the impatience in my voice
of hearing it over and over

I’m just tired

my throat hurts
my nose drips

I’m like a mad woman
walking backwards recalling
a past life

perhaps
a more patient past life

and I hear my childhood call out to me
mariaaaa  mariaaaa

what do you want?

I feel like that message
in the bottle
just floating along

trapped

and

hoping

hoping for what?

I’m not even sure
I’m not even sure that if I knew
I would be happy

I’m just tired

yes

tired

of

everything

that

must

be

it

I mean

what

else

could

it

be?

Me?


fate is not just
whose cooking  smells good
but which way the wind blows

(Ani DiFranco)

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Maree, I'm sorry to hear you're feeling trapped somehow, sweet friend, we all feel this way every once in a while but I echo Martie and say that we love you just the way you are and just by following your heart, you will find what you're hoping for! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Maree, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Wow, Maree...this is just...wow...
felt every word of this one as I read.

SO good to see you writing, my friend.

Agreeing with Martie...you are beautiful.

When the power of love overcomes the
love of power the world will know peace.

Would love to see more of your work.

wonderful poem Mmy-- ( ~ahem, why wasn't i sent a link?~)

sometimes i wonder the same things--but usually decide it is more a case of 'what if- and regret' than of being tired.
