Personally touched by the prayers of loneliness by being human the blessing squanders I was lonelier when I was married or living the uncertainty of dating then I am now, alone by choice promises start then fizzle out seemingly silly pain misery dispair loss is not worth the full moons breathing faint stars of broken dreams that rip & tear apart... the heart Yes, scents linger, laughter echoes and conversations are long into morning but... Being alone is an abstract idea a theory based on society’s anomalies which I’ve never thought applied to me I’ve gone fisin~ for opportunity where "we" is not an option Looking for emotion & feelings using a word called discovery loosely, without thoughts or the prying demanding eyes of ownership And I promise results of recovery of acceptance of great peace amidst the pain serene skies and a bright blue sea unexplored, yet bonding, bonding the me of me I am the access to a deeper consciousness awakening an inner network of focus relaxing my efforts my own woman, without the man expossed Producing self-expression & identity undisturbed by disagreement guilt or unworthiness Replacing a mind of curiosity I’m allowed to truth, in accurate force the currancy of wealth without the shells of imbalance & chaos Pure thoughts, pure feelings alive in Purpose, In Meaning inner qualities are not growing demands or expectations, that I cannot ever be or live up to Alone is my sactity, my devotion I am perspective partnering both the spiritual and physical energies of life tapped into some reverberation of peace emitted from the silence that I so love the freedom that so fondly speaks the caress of wings I'm allowed to live allowed to die without disappointing anyone allowance is the beloved that holds me... |

Yes, indeed, we are all so very relational and, yes, what you've written here I think is so very very true... Sometimes the relationship that we must focus on is simply us getting to know ourselves better. Enjoyed reading. -Bob |

"Pure thoughts, pure feelings alive in Purpose, In Meaning inner qualities are not growing demands or expectations, that I cannot ever be or live up to Alone is my sactity, my devotion I am perspective partnering both the spiritual and physical energies of life tapped into some reverberation of peace emitted from the silence that I so love the freedom that so fondly speaks the caress of wings I'm allowed to live allowed to die without disappointing anyone allowance is the beloved that holds me..." At times I envy the woman who chooses to live her life as she wishes with no demands or expectations. This is so well written Lee. Sending heart hugs your way. Don't bring me down now, |

Talk about a parallel heartbeat! I really felt this one, Lee. Some people never learn the difference between those words, alone...lonely. I am alone most of the time, but rarely ever have I felt lonely. |

"the freedom that so fondly speaks the caress of wings" That was a favortite part... but you had me feeling enlightenment the entire way. If only I can keep your lessons. |

Lee~ 'loss is not worth the full moons' (I just like this little thought)  This entire write shows knowledge ... that one plus one doesn't always make ONE need the sum~ There is understanding in your thoughts ... the comprehend of who you are and may be content to be ...~ To know is to know ... when we are whole within ourselves~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

What a fine exposition of an inner spiritual process, culminating in a final line that draws it all to a fine edge. This is the stuff of personal truth, well expressed. Sometimes we can only learn to choose freely by stripping away all the other voices (should, must, can't, have to). Then and only then can we know what we really wanted all along--and finally have it. I hope this is not the end of this journey for you. You have too gentle a heart to abuse it, but you also have too great a heart to hoard it. A poem's just a poet in a word. |
