I am from the mismatch of personalities with hands and minds that moulded a sense of worthlessness and shipped resultant efforts into the rest of my life. But too I’m from the bulkhead of spiritual avowals tall and solid, undefiled determined to survive and paint a different portrait from the inside looking out. It hangs today silently in the know of life’s demands staring into landscapes not compliant with a mind that wanders into memory of two alike entwined. I am now from every step and stair, every incline, downhill run, every twist and turn, every corner, bend, and curve that makes history repeat with me a personality mismatch!

I keep and will have to keep coming back to reread this one, sometimes I think I know what it's saying then something else pops up. Thanks for an absorbing and thought provoking read. Pete |

Helen, and a beautiful mismatched personality you have! One which enables you to be very versatile in your writing which in turn makes your poetry fascinating to read!  I am so pleased that you offered this peek into where you have come from. Loving hug, Linda  |

Thank you all so much. I sure have missed Pip this last little while but should be back to catch up as best I can in a week or so. Thanks again, Helen |

I agree with Pete. I have read several times, leaving to return to your poem again. I am now from every step and stair, every incline, downhill run, every twist and turn, every corner, bend, and curve that makes history repeat with me a personality mismatch! I think this is so fine. So fine. Alison |

Thank you so much, Alison. I guess soon enough the "straight" (flat-line, you know) and then perhaps the twists and turns etc. will be of little consequence. |

I, too, have read this piece several times this morning and now this afternoon. It is a wonderfully strong piece of writing. Thank you so much, dear poet. Patricia |

Loved the prior verses...unique, relentless... |

staring into landscapes not compliant with a mind that wanders into memory of two alike entwined. This is sooooo deep, dear Helen, so touching that it almost hurts. Wonderfully rendered roots. Love, Margherita  |

Helen, you know there are reasons for everything and if mismatch is behind where you are from, it is taking you to a beautiful tomorrow. I enjoyed this one, especially, my friend. (BTW, I spent some time on your website the other day -- it looks great and reads even better!) *hugs*......jo |

Thank you all so much. I certainly appreciate all your comments and thanks, Jo, for visiting dreamtime. Oh, watch out for realtime - I'm thinking that will read somewhat differently but who needs it, right? |

Hi Helen...."Personality mismatch" Perhaps it is the difference that gives birth to seeing beyond the ordinary. I enjoyed your beautiful website too...and a book!! Good for you! |
