It's quiet
and I can cuddle up and contemplate
this windowpane I've stared out so long
and the candle flame that still dances delicately
beside me

Only I can't see tomorrow
in that gentle light
just the tangled web I wove of yesterday
so completely badly
again and again

Stepping back inside to watch quietly
the world out there
that I'm just not ready for
and knowing that it's okay
if it's by choice

This armchair is an old friend
The blanket soft and comforting
and the candle flame a reminder
that here is where I should be

*An appology to all for my emotional yesterday.

Leaving the forum was a bad decision. I thank those of you who were so kind and caring.

I am having the same thoughts today only mine are not quite as quiet...I am glad you chose not to leave, but I knew you wouldn't... at least not yet

It is amazing what happens in less than 24 hours...know that I saw your post elsewhere about leaving, but somehow, knew you would be back....for you are...a dreamkeeper....

Glad to here your not going to leave, nice work too

Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning.

dreamkeeper - I for one am very pleased that you are staying. You write so well, and your words wish to be shared. Thank you for staying, so that I can share those words.

Don't you love those moments when the armchair and the comforter feel just like what they are supposed to...a balm, not just a port in the storm, not just a place to hide, but a place to heal and survive. A place to become strong again.
