When the heart's heavy and eyes cannot cry the days and nights meld into a sigh but the sigh embedded so deep inside merely grows and grows until it explodes. There's a scream somewhere next to the sigh finding voice within where it hurts to breathe and I pat it and soothe it with relative calm to the beat of okay, everything is okay. Then there is sadness moving, moving around, touching me here and then here, here, here, and I chase it like one determined to love that scheming, conniving, fiendish foe. When the heart's heavy thought patterns emerge and criss-cross into a jumble of sludge and they clog up all and every exit to make me retain the unthinkable. And so of a heart too heavy to lift simply leave it behind and move on! Helen / 10 November 2010 |

A lot of turmoil here. I quite understand without knowing what the turmoil is about. When turmoil makes itself known and you are at a loss what to do about it, sometimes it is beneficial let things play out. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Dear dear Helen~ You wrote this so well. The heartache and weight of it all is evident in each and every verse. Captivating, and beautifully penned! Hugs to you, honey girl. |

Ouch! Felt that one a time or two. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

Thanks everyone for your comments. If anyone's ever managed to move on without a heart please let me know how you did it. Helen |
