My footprints are rooted
    in yesterday
and it seems that
my feet have forgotten
how to cut new paths
into today.

Each step towards
   the future
leaves me with unbearable ache
from trying to put forth
one foot in front of the other

yet I remain    unable    to move
forward,
while still trying.

I tremble with the thought of failure
knowing and accepting my weaknesses
yet, continually fighting
this self-induced paralysis
of evolution.

I can do no more than prepare myself
with what faith that still lies
within me,
bracing myself against the storms
that might come my way;

all with the hopes that
the cleansing rains might
uproot my feet
from this parched and weathered
pathway of life,
allowing passing time
to move me into
tomorrow.

The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....

Donna, I do so very well understand your
problem....Sometimes the demons are very
difficult to shoo away...that first step
is so sweet though...oh yes, it is.

Hugs with love,

Ah, Donna, one may learn, one may know, but it is only through failure that one develops wisdom- 'tis worth the price, I'm told -

Here's to us "one day very wise" women, my friend -

Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.
