She knows the complexities
and embraces this duality

the need for balance
between  mind and spirit;

body and soul...

       to feel complete
          and be in control

to have all inner
inhibitions released  
a soul contending

in eternal quest of peace....  

She listens to my voice  
and hears my plea;

I am not her
       she is not me


          but still,
                  she knows me......

She is there

somewhere

yet remains
beyond my gaze
and she too,
has run this race
through this maze

of life.

I’ve shared her pain
along with her fears
her heart in unison    beating
I hear


I have been her
     and she
has been me…


We have stood wishing upon
the  very same star

wanting,      and wondering
of places afar

remembering journeys
through the black of night ,  
recalling paths taken

beseeching the light

bringing us
to where we now are

She has fought those battles,
and has healed the same scars

we are individual,            yet similar
held in the common bond
of striving, and surviving

           we are strong

I am her
and she is me.........


a woman       understanding

unequivocally....


{rp dedicated to the ladies of Pip,
sisters of heart who give
unconditionally with love and support..teachers
one and all sharing their life lessons...
I thank you...}



take my life and let me be
a living prayer My God to thee..A. Krauss

Thank You Gentle Spirit,
for your sisterly love and spirit!
We all learn from eachother,
having something to bring to the table of life,
to share and gain from,
wisdom, experiances, etc.

Wonderfully written, Donna, and so very, very, true of us all.  The "understanding" is a precious gift but sometimes it only comes very late in life as with myself but at least I can say that it came "in time".

Donna- I might not be one of the ladies at PIP; however, I did find this to be one of the best I have read in a very long while.

Great Job

What would you attempt to do...if you knew you could not fail?.
