Until I Heard You Cry ~*Marge Tindal*~ I stepped into your visceral space not certain that I had crossed the plain of your existence until I heard you cry~ Then all of the memories of us rushed to meet me trapping me in your teardrops bringing me to my knees as I embraced the true of our happening~ Did I leave you here in teardrops? Do they now fall for me? How quickly they now gather waiting to fall Touch them for they are real~ I know just how you feel for I treaded my own teardrops alone left in my own pain ... Did you hear me? The cry of an angel weeping left in the pain that engulfed me until I got over you~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Oh, dear Marge!! This is so beautifully poignant and tugs at my heartstrings so intensely. Every now and then the pain of the parting presents itself to the sensitive hearts. Overcoming is not easy. You say this with enormous poetic power. Love and hugs. Margherita  |

Oh, Marge, I cried when I read this. I am so sorry my friend. This is such a 'tug at your heart strings' write. It is said that time heals all wounds but I wonder if that is true. love you, Marti __________________________ |

wow! (Sadly) I've become so 'jaded' (numb) by the devolution of Democracy and the per diem sham, drudgery, heartache, and spirit-breaking 'reality' (amid this "Runaway American Dream") that little 'impresses' me ... but this grand-fine and powerfully emotive 'write' assuredly did! I am particularly fond of the beginning: "I stepped into your visceral space not certain that I had crossed the plain of your existence until I heard you cry(!)" v. serious and long-sustained applause for this 'penning'! |

Many hurts have been penned over time, but none can compare to this one. I for one, love the last line..."until I got over you" The hope for love is universal but the hope for moving beyond a relationship, is rarely written. Welcome back on all fronts, Marge. God bless, Rae |

Fabulous..."Until I got over you." Interesting...I had a dream about my children and my ex-wife last night and I was having a wonderful time with my children, that were young in the dream, that are grown up now, but my ex-wife was having a discussion with me about her new boyfriend that would be coming over soon and I should treat him right, and its interesting that you mentioned getting over someone, because even though its been many years and I believe that I am over her, she peeks back in every now and then, even within a dream...James |

"I know just how you feel for I treaded my own teardrops alone left in my own pain ..." I understand this only too well... I am so glad to see you back posting and hope that is a sign that you are recuperating. I truly mean that some day I hope to revisit Florida and have a relaxing time with you. So you need to keep the faith and I hope the visit is sooner than later.  Much love, M |

You have been missed dear lady. Though provoking... to get over, or to get on to the next chapter? Hmmm... it's good! |

Dearest Marge, I thought I had replied to this. My words have run dry, as the tears trickle down my face. I am praying fullblast, powerpunch prayers for one of the golden miracles I so firmly believe in, dear friend, to lengthen your life, if that is what is best for you. If it is not, I am praying that your pathway to the light will be blessed with peace and grace and that your family will be comforted in their loss and know that their bond with you will be forever there, shining strongly. Know, dear Marge, you will be forever remembered on Pip and that your legacy on Pip and all your other sites, will add more and more people to your readers, long after you are safely in Heaven. The legacy that you have left in the hearts and minds of so many, many people will grow and blossom with the love with which you planted it there. Be blessed, dearest Marge and know that you are loved, for you ARE love. Huglets Owl/Diana |

You know I know, my dearest friend, how you've treaded your own teardrops alone. Mine will merge into the river of remembrance of the happy time we once spend together. I'll always remember the laughs dear Marge. Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |
