These lines I draw have been drawn before. They run together in my mind and my heart. These roads I bleed upon have been bled upon before. A little of mine, a little of theirs. “Some things just aren’t what they appeared to be” (Whisper the voice in my head) I tread softer now, keeping to the shadows of my thoughts and ruined desires. I speak slower now, least I confuse myself. Forgetting lessons, wanting more. I reach blindly now, for my sight has perished. I no longer know where I roam or what to call a home. "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

((hugs)) this is well done ma'am... and we all understand the how it is at times.. diminishing returns.... even when we think the returns are smaller than the cost... we find we either wrongly estimated the costs or underestimated the returns... how's the weather? warm enough still to walk the beach? might be good therapy for you... |

Thank you much, Donna, Lee and Nancy and Ron? It's still warm enough to walk the beach...I haven't done that in almost 3 years.. "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

Susan, I too have known such feelings yet you have managed to put them into the words that I could not... I do sense a quiet dignity in your sadness. I feel like wrapping you in a warm blanket of love. Linda |

These roads I bleed upon have been bled upon before. A little of mine, a little of theirs. The bleeding will eventually stop, I hope to write like you someday. |

Some things just aren’t what they appeared to be” (Whisper the voice in my head i can more than relate to that one, but sometimes it can also be a blessing when a pleasant surprise comes unexpectedly too  |
