Love is a vagabond. Point it in the direction you want it to take; love hesitates taking directions. Love is a groin quirk, n'er a solution. Sssh . . . the moon is gone again. Talk of the vague love thing puts the fragile moon ill at ease. It is reminded of its doleful duties. Lovers Point. I stand, my knees weak from squatting for so long. The night is August warm. Stifling. Even the breeze is gone. Humidity death. Why do thoughts of despair come when you are all alone? Unable to talk it out with someone; left on your own. Decision time. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (11-06-2011 07:34 PM).] |

"Why do thoughts of despair come when you are all alone?" Nice Jerry. Is there ever an answer to that? I guess it depends on the personality and circumstances. JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

Thank you, Lori, I appreciate your kind words. <><> So true, JL, it is the variables within each of us that grab the intellect and gives us pause to think. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ |

We have less to distract ourselves when we are by ourselves, our dispair is harder to avoid. oxLori |

I have to agree, Lori, the snakes attack when our defenses are lulled. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ |

Why do thoughts of despair come when you are all alone? Unable to talk it out with someone; left on your own. Decision time. Gut check time, crying time... gnashing of teeth, wailing, the whole shebang. I'm familiar with the what and when even if I don't know why. |
