Between the Lines

0 posted 2005-02-18 07:03 PM



And so I am there,
reaching inside of me
that part
which was darkened temporarily
and has been lightened,
the load beginning to lift.

You were there to hold my hand
when needed,
to rest against shoulder when weary,
but I have to do the rest
and determine my own future.

And if I should fail,
it will be my failure
and I will own it and wear it
until it fades into the past
and is shed as a part of learning.

I have no love words inside of me,
except for myself.
I don't expect to hear them anymore
nor will I miss them.
I am at peace
and will romance myself
into dancing positive.
And where there were disappointments
they have been booked in words,
no longer clinging to promises
but open for tomorrows' gifts.

M

beautifully said
strong write
as one is meant to be
strong with love for self
first  real love~
not egos lust
then one can be stong enough
to keep love in as it gives love out
that doesnt return  as one feels it must
at all times, and gives the gift of giving love to man  and eases  fear  which is really evil not allowing knowledge of love to end his scars he refuses to let go and must endow all with pain he feels
as an angel falls
with no one to mend broken wings
that withered away  any chance of flying
or spreading of wings  as a bird in the heavens  spreading love   so free  
allowing what we were meant to be `

Maureen,  it is beautiful that one can be
at peace with oneself and all that is
around them.  I hope you are.  You deserve
that feeling and freedom.

you go girl...

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...
