When the cold creeps in it’s time to close each and every door to prevent the breeze of past from disturbing the present. But only love can cut the reel of what was played, re-played and I left my love there today as a parting gift. I tried to package anger and tag it with resentment but it didn’t sit quite right so I thought to throw it out because otherwise I’d carry it for the rest of my life. Yet of life I don’t much care whether one year, two, or three because my sight grows dimmer now and I know to look at just today and not back then or when. One day you’ll find me, love; I know it wasn’t today and should I perchance repeat again, again, again, each day will be just one day that love stayed away! Helen / 22 July 2008 |

Hello, Honey. This poem touched me deeply ~ as do all your poems! However, this one struck an especially strident cord in my heart. "When the cold creeps in it’s time to close each and every door to prevent the breeze of past from disturbing the present." ~ May love find you again and kiss away the cold. Giving you a warm, loving hug, Linda |

Thanks, Linda. Yes, today was a last and final goodbye to the past and unfortunately also to an adoring pet. That's the part that hurts the most so one day at a time is all I can manage - just not managing too well yet. Love Helen |

That is a lovely poem Helen although a little sad and wistful but don't lose faith my dear. You have made the first step to success by throwing the anger out. I feel for you Helen and hope that love is just around the corner. Good Luck. Love Lindsay |

Thanks to all and, Lindsay, perhaps love is around the corner but for now it's enough to know that it's within! Helen |
