written late 1999, added to and edited 3/11/00 rough draft as usual At The Jazz Show Without Him People dancing Happiness They're letting loose Looking good for others Yet feelin' the groove With someone I love And the love of her life Sitting in candle rays Silk leaves and red light Simultaneous with saddness Sadness in "alone" Loneliness in without him Without him,..finally WITH ME Struggeling to find myself The self I've never known and the me that ran away Where have I gone? Where am I hiding? How far must I reach to catch hold of my soul? How deep must I dig to find where my roots grow? I try and I try Yet I can't seem to find That piece of me that left with him Or those pieces I left behind My soul seems so torn between now, then and before Soon, future and present all knock at my door Each one hides in shadow Each before locks its door I knock and I knock but to no true avail (sp?) My entrance denied My poor soul torn and frail I know I am strong But when lost, broken and stale... I find myself searching in all that I do Yet mostly refusing to love me as true I can't seem to face This new "me" I don't know Yet the me that I knew Left with him and locked the door Perhaps I shall find That key hiding in this "me" But I fear that the old me May have blocked off the door. -molly aka sam "One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time." -Andre Gide |

Oh so I see you have a torn soul problem as well.. thats reassuring, it's very very late at night now. I think i'm going to go to bed, with that last poem in my head. I'm very tired, but i can still type the right keys. thats shows im not high or anything. right? |

Sam, I can feel the emotion speaking genuinely true with your words. Will it ever find you? -- It always does, it always pull through... keep hoping! jazzgal |
