She hangs it on the line to dry not straight but crossing over so one day in the knowing she’ll find that love’s free flow never died up at the source. But the soul down to the flesh must one day cease to be for life like the noonday sun penetrates belief and relentlessly obliterates all reminders of the times. And she thinks to fight the sun but what armour has true love when not partnered in desire and left alone to cry? She hangs it on the line to dry and I wonder if she’ll know when the time is right to bring it back inside! Helen / 10 May 2008 |

Our hearts let us know, when the time is right to take off the clothes pins, and wear it yet, anew, right Helen? Another Gem. Happy Mother’s Day Dear Friend. |

"And she thinks to fight the sun but what armour has true love when not partnered in desire and left alone to cry?" such heart rending lines, these verses remind me of my mother left alone now that my father has died. She too hangs her clothes on the line. Pleasure to read. sharyn |

Thanks, everyone! I may be "alone" but when Mother's Day comes around, I know there is love. I know it all the time anyway as do they but there's a part in the heart that's missing something and that's the part that writes. Helen |

Blessed are those who are able to 'air' their thoughts and feelings through the 'vented' word! ~ and you have put them on the 'line' so well! Warm hug of love, Linda |
