I don’t know anymore I don’t care anymore. I’m tired of the struggle. You accuse without reason. you destroy everything that has sustained us. Nothing ever stands still, it either grows or it withers. You can’t let the weeds grow taller than the garden. There is a limit that love can withstand, it has a precious breath that can be smothered. Even the most exquisite gem can’t shine in the dark, it’s just a dull stone in your shoe to be discarded and left on the side of the road. I just don’t know anymore |

Etwas zynisch, aber sehr schön geschrieben! Strong words like arrows. Love, Margherita |

Man, you always have something to say. True, gems cannot shine in the dark. Powerful. Fall in love early, fall in love often. |

Yo Zeigeist, This is fairly good. Lets remember what ultraviolet light will do for common rocks. It's all in how you look at things. Bobby |

yep, I totally agree! I tire of the weeds and try to kill them when they first begin but sometimes, it's just impossible. It takes patience and energy and most of all, it takes two. |

Thanks all for your kind words. I've been in kinda a blue mood lately, waiting for spring to get here and all. I wish all it took was a different look at things. But bad is bad no matter how you look at it. Don't worry I will rebound, I always do. Z. |
