Nots of Misery Sometimes the body shuts the mind down silent tears cashing in on the days wrought. Darker moments stringing along the next and the next and the next, while one decides why it is she was made a woman. It's a foolish thing this game called "wondering" breaks the spirit, more often than not, leaves happiness behind to wait on good news that pains to come, an artform always in the making with the choices one has and those knots of misery always interrupting. She caught someone saying "you are a beautiful woman" but her head was looking down, and her back had been turned around, She assumed it was for the one standing next to him. Then was greeted with eyes twinkling. So in her stride she winked, when fingers touched and pretended they were for her, even if not. Sometimes when the mind shuts down, the body buys a compliment or two to ease the ache, it rhythm-takes the moments and chances that another will see it is alive and striving...still. The Fall of yesterday built sandcastles in her mind, and on that long moon filled drive home, She found the face of a friend guiding her... an hour to dream, an hour to imagine what could be if only... the silence would end. M (as the Lady O changes her manner of dress) "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less."

I love the way this shows the thought processes of reaching out for something to give back to you of what you are missing. Be it something small to someone else, and they may not even notice..it means the world to you. Very nice. Much enjoyed! Love, Terri~  Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer! |

And then she travels on, until the next time when the "Lady" journies. Loved this statement: "She found the face of a friend guiding her... an hour to dream, an hour to imagine what could be if only... the silence would end." |
