Undisturbed it could remain, so very careful was I not to let too sharp a remembrance nudge it from its refuge. Protection - the focus every minute of every day. And then a somber straight faced day when a question and I came face to face- instead of protecting it what if you resurrect the pain and then give it its freedom? Turn it loose and let it go? In silent awe even the scream lodged in her throat vetoed its voice. So long had she developed the layers around it so deep had she buried it that the unearthing could only be deemed life threatening. Let it go? Simply let it go and leave it behind? My mind queried its foundations and tied to acquiesce. Going over each dot and tittle brought out that it had asked but had not been found worthy of forgiveness. A fleeting weakness remembered when it had need to leave but without it to protect, without painful remembrances piled high to hide behind, without the familiar dull ache to give definition to the day, what do you presume that I would do? Negativity gripped tighter and barely forced out a tight lipped No. This is my pain, I paid the price, it was I that bore the pain, cried the tears and suffered the hurt, you can not take it from me; I will not let it go. |

Luminosity~ Dimensions ... layers of truth in this penning~ I know that there are those who refuse to let go of the pain ... yes, they hold onto it and let it hurt them again and again~ This is a poignant penning~ I will be back to read it again~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

There is indeed, a time for hanging on ~ as long as we don't hang on for too long. It is part of the grieving process and it takes time for us to acclimatize ourselves to our losses and new situations. You penned these emotions very well. I could feel the quandary that you find yourself in. I look forward to the time when you have healed enough to write of "Letting It Go"!  Love & Light, Linda |

EA, thank you, I am not exactly at the ending point of this poem, but I have been there often enough to understand it thoroughly. It is something on my mind, for it seems I have come before to the point of letting it go, and think that I have, but I find myself at that point again, and find that I haven't...I am sorting through thoughts and will soon be able to write freedom from this |

without the familiar dull ache to give definition to the day, what do you presume that I would do? Some things will always be with you... but they don't have to run things. *S* And with the Help you know you have... you're close to taking charge again. *S* Big hugs, my friend... this is excellent! *S* |

Excellent poem about your quandry luminosity. Sometimes the process is as important as the lesson, isn't it? I keep running into "dot and tittle." Synchronicity maybe? I love those words. |
