There can be a moment of happiness, joy, and faith so strong it breaks my own will and there can be a moment of sadness, despair, that breaks what lies beyond awareness. There can be the lightness of wishes in air, the heaviness of no one who cares, the gentle hold of loving you so and the open arms of letting you go. There can be the tears of the lost and lonely and those joined with mirth and laughter and there can be the pain in body and mind that loosens my hold on these present times. There can be the sinking of feet into earth and the wiping it off because it’s just dirt but dirt always sticks no matter the holes life has made be in everyone’s soul. There can be, there was, but what’s yet to be a matter, I think, simply up to me! Helen / 6 September 2010 |

Yes no matter what life may give us we do have free will to a certain extent. I thought this was a thought provoking piece. Nice work. |

Thank you, Margherita, Earl and Ida. There can, of course, be so much more to this thing called life which we discover as we go along. Does the journey of discovery ever end? Helen |
