Been thinking how long truth takes to make the change to a restored heart. How smothered thoughts play the notes of a challenging tune with too much pause. Sometimes chasing time takes me backwards and I begin to have static cling Contrasting moments that quiver the night's hold, while stuck in the middle with a masquerade smile. Today I am selfless, cradling the voice of tomorrow, growing older... while living young. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

M! That last stanza is just PERFECT. And? Lady are we ever having thoughts alike today. How long truth takes, indeed...sigh... Oh~ you..... No more hangin' on to the past No more filling up my tomorrows With yesterday's sorrows No more lookin' over my shoulder {T.Tritt} |

Good Morning, Donna. School is finally out for me... now I have to figure out what to do with my time after I take a short visit to Tenn. to pick up my Mom and bring her back for a week. Been so used to getting up at 5 a.m. and not getting home until 5:30 p.m. I hope you have a great summer! M |

Hi Maureen "growing older while living young" When the air is warm, like now, and the sky seems limitless, I feel the same. Lovely poem! |

very fine, powerful, emotive, effective 'write'! [wonderful 'read'!] I especially LOVE: "...stuck in the middle with a masquerade smile." [kinda 'sums up' my (alleged) life!] AND: "...cradling the voice of tomorrow..." sustained applause!! |
