When Reeling… This could be well one of those nights when storms crawl in, no high-falutin’ thundering noise, just crawling black over gray, even if miles away, when thoughts streak ever louder than any words heard…or any thunder rumbles…yet you know, the night’s not over… family…they’re too near in their far-away places where reach with tone, are touching voices where derision could be key oh so many old fantastic harmonies… we were famous, you know, for hiding bones. Even when white skeletal wrongs are right, even then in darkest night, when children don’t know from hate; sometimes it seems, that’s all it takes. ~*~ We whitewash pretties to be clean and strip our souls of those times lean, when mean was but a compass call; when family took up that all. I learned that Mom had heard the harsh; and Dad, he leaned in from the marsh of knowing his father had run away, thus the glue that made him stay. How easy it is to write with roses coloring glasses upon our noses… and diplomats, aye, somewhere in my line this must be found, for it is mine… and yet I hearken for those truths… that seek my stay, that I may see my roots. "There's a reason they call God The Creator - he sides with talent." Julia Cameron |

Sissie "and yet I hearken for those truths… that seek my stay, that I may see my roots." Keep reeling and you'll find the truth.  |

Sunshine, There is such richness and sound, heart and word. Wish I could reflect the passage of time in such a manner. Wish I could catch up on my reading! Only if wishes could be beggars... miscellanea |
