Letter Folds

I can remember
those first words on blue
and the plzdntgo need,
acquainting myself with the
lonely nights and the darkness
that swallowed the once outgoing me.

Pouring words, letter folds,
releasing the pain of loss,
not knowing how much more
would be following behind.

A long journey to where I am today,
once a Moonchild, always a Moonchild,
although the naked thoughts have taken over
instilling that love for words
and those friendships still in the making.

A sanctuary for rehabilitation,
a paradise of and for knowledge,
making my glass half full
as the untold finds its way
to a resting place,
painting a portrait to eyes
in the know.

Time has been a gift,
words have been the wrappings,
chance has filled the stillness
bringing richness to the face
that stares back, mirrored each morning,
rescued by the silent understanding
of the letters in fold.

M

Time has indeed been good
for both of us...here...

between the letters,
and the folds.

Enjoyed this, Maureen!

"lonely nights and the darkness" can sometimes be a blessing - I miss mine now that I don't have them anymore.  
Enjoyed the read, M, and I'm sure many can relate.

Thank you for the kind responses...and yes Martie, I feel my glass is beginning to fill more and more. ( I guess a lot of it is in attitude and I am trying to keep a very positive one...grateful that I made it through another year.
