my health fell before me as if on wings made of glass I thought I would a been happy they found some answers fast my lady whispered no matter how hard it seems to get she’s going to see me through and don’t you ever worry or forget to never give up when it all seems bleu our God is just enough my thoughts began running short as you faded from my view you looked as soft as velvet I was feeling a ‘lil blue as I drifted off to surgery things turned pure as ivory and the warmest hue arose from every breath which escaped I felt so naked they had taken all my clothes and my eyes had falling questions but quickly came to close I told my self it must be real not knowing if truly right because it felt like a dream which trailed across some ceasing life compelling and yelling why is this my dream I don’t know if I e’er awoke but I did from the reverie but surgery is for sure my Valentines day reality .

Ooh, this sends a punch - yet it's pensively written... The aura of 'going under' is so real. Wonderful work! Lary P.S. Nice to meet a fellow Albertan! |

lucky - excellent lines! I have a bunch of favorites, among which, of course, is the part about me, but I really love this - "and my eyes had falling questions but quickly came to close" - how do you tell even a horrible story with such beauty!!! I love you, my sweetheart. . The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G. |

Martie, I’m alright I think... Dreams are haunting and sometimes to real... Feb 14th. sometime in the afternoon around 3:00pm, is I guess when I’ll be finding out what the surgery reveals. I’m in pain and have gained way to much weight in less than 30 days, my mussels are in shock from the weight... I look like I’m pregnant and am acquiring some stretch marks. How do you women ever deal with such..? laryalee, Thank you so much... It seems that I become so much more pensive when something is wrong with me... I tell everyone not to worry when I could be wrong... Kathleen, Sometimes the healing begins when we wake up from a bad dream! Man oh man have you got that right... It’s 3:30 am and I’m I’m afraid to sleep for what I may see... Rosemary I’m so lucky to love and have you to hold me... my sweet baby bubba Thank you all for sharing . Writing isn't just something I do, it's something I am. To write of feelings that touch all hearts in some manner is my delight. -Marge Tindal |

How do you comment on a thought so well constructed except to say honestly - well. well done. if it is true that the world talks toomuch then let us all keep quiet and hear the eloquence of silence - Richard Ntiru |

Lucky, my brother, my friend~ With the precious love of that woman of yours, the faith that you have, the prayers that are sent your way ... you'll be waxing poetic long before the anesthesia wears off ! You know I hold you in my heart and offer the great healing power of our forefathers to the doctors. Love you and love your thoughts in this piece. I'm with Rosemary in liking - 'my eyes had falling questions but quickly came to close' But that nekkid part was intriguing too ! ![]() You be good and we'll be talking, bro. Love n' hugs n' stuff~ ~*SisterOfTheHeart*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

suthern, thanks for your great expression of caring. And I do hope your right about completely..! I’m so tired of pain pills that only hide the pain knowing when they run out I’ll be right back where I began. Thanks for your prayers... Mendy, Thank you so much... I’d like to find that quiet and hear that eloquence of silence. Do you know the address..? Marge Tindal, Sheesh, now you got me thinking of what I might be saying while in that aneathesia phaze... What a thought... I don’t know if I could call it “Waxing.” So your with Rosemary on the lines 'my eyes had falling questions but quickly came to close, looks like you two are together on that nekkid thing too... you two are peas that must have come from the same pod' I think that Florida Sun has burnt your mind, but of course I don’t know what happened to Rosemary’s... Who can tell..? LOL Love you all, dale |

Oh, but don't forget ... there's a mile and a half long page up there somewhere to help locate ya' ! Well, you just take care and we'll be in touch. LOL @ the thought of you 'mumbling' under the effects ... Now THAT ought to bring back some of those sixties thoughts real quick ! ![]() God be with ya' ... and He is ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
