Shadows in poetic recess The pain sears, the anguish rips the soul, it need be shut away quickly. And that's that. Carelessly it is buried. Today, to breathe, to exist without this pain is all that matters. But a shallow grave means that simply the tug of a heart string a stirring in the breeze a song in the wind and there it is again painfully impeding all forward momentum is lost, and I sit, tearfully, bleeding all over again. But what if one day I want to take one out and embrace it hold it close and drink its essence learn from my pain and write on my heart all that is important and all that is not? I have found that memories need be cared for properly, examined and mended the tears worked over, with thought filled stitches and then carefully, in poetic form, saved away. A slice of time a version of the pain, saved, unchanged, for future reference. For when the wound is deep the mind in an effort to paint the past pretty, can deceive. I have discovered that I care for my poetic recesses dearly for you see... I learned the hard way. ------------------ ©1999 Iloveit [This message has been edited by Iloveit (edited 10-06-1999).] |

Well done, Lovey... No matter how deeply our memories are buried, they'll come out and visit us again in their own time... Poetic slices of time at least give us the control of when we want to give those memories life. And sometimes our words even touch and help another. *S* |
