in the shadows

0 posted 2004-05-01 11:39 PM



Softly staring into darkness,
moon and stars
not strong enough by half
to tear the shadow seals
on sleep tonight;
I am no one's hero
when I'm staring down my demons,
we just share awareness
of each other's points of weakness.
I really have to try to sleep,
to keep a steady hand at dawn,
today nothing seemed to work
and before I noticed,
the day was gone.

I thought it was only my luck to have such days.

We have much in common, you and I.

Your take on things is always so profound.  Hope you get some rest.   ....jo

Icebox, it seems as if we both have a sleep problem.  It's like we want to know what truly happens when we sleep but being awake, of course, doesn't enable that to be.  Losing a day somewhere sounds like a good idea.

GREAT!

Though I do fall asleep, I often have the feeling of days slipping by, not fully LIVED.

Life is so full of challenges, that you should see yourself as a hero, you are a thinker and you KNOW.

Love, Margherita

Thank you all for taking time to read this and for your generous comments.  Writing poetry often helps me to focus my mind (what little may be left of it), but this change of season has me all fragmented.  It is nice to know I am not alone.

I had too many days in the past that slipped away doing the same thing over and over...and hating it.

I don't do that anymore and stopped aging at the same time...

Every day is spring.

Get some sleep.  Then take a drive by the river.

Nodding here..
Some days just fly by so quickly.
Get some rest...things look better in the morning.
Hugs~
