It's not always from the North these winged winds of pestilence roaring underneath the eaves in disregard of common sense and all the weather sciences are nonsense chiseled by the stone as ice is formed in heavensky to mock the steam of my July as winter is an egg in fry upon the concrete in my mind while I mock my own protest not-another-thing unless it is the thing I've waited for if I am even cognizant of blessings in disguise. I am so inadequate the gauntlet got the best of me-- I nod, my words, they weary you. They reek as if ingratitude is pouring from my wounds instead of blood and life and am-I-dead fevering the visions of a savior and warm fresh bread are dreams I do not dare deny for such it is my sustenance-- pennies of the suffering as if I save some recompense to buy myself a glory ride in another life...I'd die gladly knowing I was done and spared still yet another test. If suffering is insurance that I could live a life with you then mark my bruises with a bruise-- for you, I would come back again deny myself angelic wing I'd cut the cords that grant me sing and silence would become my king for just a life with you I would advocate a throne. If Gods and Goddesses agree: I do, hereby, submit decree knowing of the consequence-- I'd bet my stack of lives as chips like Vegas, playing craps, I would kiss the dice and pray for eights-- the sign of the infinity - the only lock on Heaven's gate - the keyhole of the balances and say it is oh it is so that he is mine and I am his together as we were before we contemplated more than this-- in disregard of common sense - let me live again with him. |

First of all, I have to laugh at y'Yeti and the dancing baby for that thing scares me too. And you, moreso than any of us, know the ole Doris Day creed and M'Lady . . . I don't know why some of us are given such tests, I just don't. I can only say that with such awareness, it is a curse and a blessing. If I could wish you a zillion lifetimes in trade for one you deserve, I would. If I could blow my predjudices upon the sky and cause the sun to shine there, I would. If I could wave my hand and ward off all weather and tragedy and have the sweet breeze kiss your cheeks to dry them, I surely would. And if it were in my power to change the course of life, well, in this instance, I would. Even if it came back to me threefold. Your voice is never one I tire of, through you, I learn about myself. and I am sorry for birds should not be caged and butterflies should be free to flutter and zoos bother me . . . I seriously have to get you some Saul Williams, " . . . said the shotgun to the head." (meaning pointless) |

Wham! Yep, there was a reason this called to me today. I saw yesterday and didn't have time to read in here, and today was pulled back to find this and read.. now I know why. "in another life...I'd die gladly knowing I was done and spared still yet another test." damn.... this hits..... very closely to home today, so much so that you would never believe it... but WHAM... I needed to read this today K. c'mere....  love ya sweetie No one can tell you how to get there it's a road you take all by yourself, look inside and find the part that's leading you; that's the beat of the heart.

Frances waves... PS does too. Both are nodding along with me at this signature heartbreak... and the heavy sigh we feel from you.   " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

"in disregard of common sense" how do you know? What if it is the one thing in all this that makes the most sense? we don't know. I think if the draw is that strong, it was there before and you will find it again in the next. I have to believe that. This is going to the "Karen" library as it is my new favorite...  love ya."too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

kiss the dice and pray for eights-- the sign of the infinity - the only lock on Heaven's gate - the keyhole of the balances Who could not love a mind that could come up with this concept? Absolutely amazing.... I've learned that common sense is neither common nor makes a lot of sense  May your wishes all come true...... |

Karen, if Valentines Day is about hearts, I'm reading this one again Feb 14. What a soulful heartfelt bloody good write. (Hehe, have to change some of my adjectives these days.) Seriously though, this is probably one of your all-time-best, and that's hard to do when you crank out bests every time you push that Enter key here in cyber space. And if there be a heaven? and if there be some kind of a gate? well, this gd non-believing no-good-gypsy-dreamer believes you've a key to SPARE...to share with another 'lost' soul. I sure do love you, lady serenity. And if these things happening to you is only a test? Remember those TV 'test' icons? LOL, they shall disappear some day too. Furthermore, I'd like to have a chat with whoever is handing out the testing list! |

Talk about disregard... *S* From early lines, I knew this one would leave me weeping... and I read on... and oh... I was right. *S* But I could not stop... not when my poetry lovin' lil heart's willing to break along with yours just to read such perfection. *S* I'm gonna have to dust off another library shelf for this one... *sneeze* *S* |
