This is for the one who believes in me, is patient with me, and dares to know me even when I shut him out. Thank you. I have no words to dazzle you. Only these.

Sometimes in this world we're not happy,
Drowning in our own lives,
While grief for lost moments consume us,
And take us down the bitter paths,
That we once thought we'd never take.
Sometimes life just isn't the same,
From moment to moment,
And the rushing hurry of a spent life,
Consume us and take us speeding carelessly.
Sometimes we forget that we need the tears,
To cleanse our spirits,
And no matter how cliche that is,
Its what we need (the tears that is)
Sometimes we get lonely in a crowd,
Surrounded by smiles and voices,
Yet distant and alone...wandering
Standing at the edge of a void.
Sometimes we choose that place,
That place where the mist doesn't part,
Even when a stronger hand extends,
Offering the comfort of love.
And not just any love,
But love including acceptance,
Love that drinks and swallows the storm,
Draining it until it exists no more,
And still standing holding the shell,
That the storm emptied from.
Sometimes we still remain within the mist,
And that hand,
The one that extended, yet the mist didn't part for,
Well
Sometimes that hand remains,
Although it knows it must be lost,
Having seized another hand,
Even knowing that the other might never reach out completely.

Thank you.

Lately, my thoughtful rambling pieces are coming out again, so I weather the storm and just be thankful that the words still come.

and I would say that I hope that these are all that they will need. . . and that they will respond with "You're welcome. . . "

wonderful words. . .

A very apt description of desert days, my friend. A perception of tremendous depth.
