It’s just a trickle not a flood that courses down the cheeks of one when sadness overwhelms the day and empathy takes precedence. The reach and stretch to disengage loses force and lies dismayed within the heart and mind, the soul, of one bound up in love. And how to cut the strings of love and not fall into the ego bothers some till midnight comes and they sleep away the grief. But daybreak heralds in again more trickles down the cheeks and a prayer is heard within the air, “May the force be with you”. And the prayer is magnified within for the force of love to untie strings and dissipate the dire effects of connectedness. But like all prayers they suffer so the slowness of an aged one in getting to the point of love un-laden and detached. But pray I do till midnight comes because in the time before daybreak someone counsels those aggrieved until trickles dry on cheeks! Helen / 9 May 2010 |

Thanks, LeeJ and misce. I also need to read it more than once even though I wrote it - but did I write it? Helen |
