More Complicated Ramblings...(from the ramble series...) I laughed when you called me complicated... after almost two years of not understanding you, and the reasons behind your rhyme somehow you had deemed me as being "complicated"... and I still don't understand, but perhaps some things aren't meant to be understood, or explained, life is what it is, and we can only gain. The laughter doesn't sound alone anymore not since the minute you walked back in the door, and suddenly it felt like it was back then before "I just called to say I love you" became our favorite song I missed you so much even though you did wrong... my love did not stop, nor did it fade, I believed, even when you said that I shouldn't, but quit loving you? I knew that I couldn't. I heard an old saying, I've learned that it's true "you have to set it free, before it can come back to you" So I set you free, but held you near to my heart allowing myself to be torn apart. Oh yes, it hurt, I admit it's true; but I held to my faith in God and in you... each time makes me stronger...but after the fall.... we get back up and move on, because the past is the past and there is no tomorrow if remaining in still waters while the river flows on... {Chances come and when they're gone They curse the fools who wait too long So let's take care of what we have Before the good we know goes bad And the beauty fades and just slips away The dirty air, they dying seas Will this be the world we leave To the wild and young I say, just look at what we've done And right before our eyes Today's yesterday Could be tomorrow's goodbye Here comes the rain And it might wash her tears away But it doesn't change a thing Like my brother before me All I can do is write this song And for her I sing Chances come and when they're gone They carve in stone what we've done wrong} {Lynyrd Skynyrd} [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (07-16-2004 04:54 PM).] |

but quit loving you? I knew that I couldn't. ======================== So I set you free, but held you near to my heart allowing myself to be torn apart. Oh yes, it hurt, I admit it's true; but I held to my faith in God and in you... each time makes me stronger...but after the fall.... we get back up and move on, because the past is the past and there is no tomorrow if remaining in still waters while the river flows on... ================================== My my... so much of this hit home for me... so many mirrors... you "ramble" with wisdom Donna-girlie... and with your heart on sleeve honesty...which is what makes the reader feel the words and sincerety in which you offer them.... and this...... and there is no tomorrow if remaining in still waters while the river flows on... thats an I WISH I HAD WROTE THAT kinda verse.  oh and I do wish I had.... you should use that for your new sig.  powerful purging poetess. RAMBLE ON!! I would love to live as a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding. |

each time makes me stronger...but after the fall.... we get back up and move on, because the past is the past and there is no tomorrow if remaining in still waters while the river flows on... It's all that is left and all we can do, unless we choose to wallow and stagnate. I really love the sentiment Donna, and the beauty of it all. |

"each time makes me stronger...but after the fall.... we get back up and move on, because the past is the past and there is no tomorrow if remaining in still waters while the river flows on..." This needs to be said more often and shared, because it is timeless. Thank you, Donna, for sharing. MoonShadow . |
