Now, we lay us down She smiles while she is crying. A misunderstanding? I don't know. She says it's just because she loves me, and I am more confused than before. Like an unborn child the mystery is growing... perhaps as a bride awaiting the day of destiny. Or the flowers as they reach to the sky maybe, perhaps. I am confused by the possibilities. The dog barks for no known reason. Like the cat when it tears about the room. Some things are never meant to be understood, just accepted? It's so confusing to me. She touches my arm softly with love, even after... have I treated her badly? I don't know which. Perhaps she's angry but she still loves me? Confusing isn't it? She smiles... while she is crying. Isn't that an oxymoron? Is it because... she knows she has me? Or am I confused because she can smile, and cry at the same time? She liked this apology and now; we are laying down. bleeding... "Tis ink coming from his arm, Captain!" |

I really liked this one..so true to life, showing us as the confused, vulnerable creatures we really are..very nicely done. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

thank you each for your wonderfull comments! This piece came out of a bewildering time of much personal growth. Seems surrender and compromise are better than pridefull conflict, eh? I have found that to apologize, especially when i am totally in the right...lol, makes me a far stronger person...even if it is so darned difficult to do! bleeding...
