It Just Is

loving you
was never easy
but I never
expected it
to be
it would
have betrayed
the point
and casual
is something
that covers
real appearance
but that is
where it stops
for there is
nothing casual
in a
heart naked
the stripping
of layers
way past
the cloth
of desire
to where
it just is

Helen, and this just is so full of expression -- you're a master of laying things bare and confronting truth.

and yes, those ashes fly from the phoenix wings...



and it ain't right--it ain't wrong--it just IS.

(and now maybe I might sleep...sighs, hugs and smiles to you h)

Yes...

Hugs to you, lady...

(big angel hugs) This is sad but well-written, sweet friend, I send angel hugs your way, God Bless You, it should never have to be this way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

These experiences are just adding to how much we learn and think about ourselves.  How very nicely done Helen.  (I hope you are much better too.)
