Outwardly, I am spent from seeking deliverance. I missed the mark and pity my own reflection. Yet, I smile. I still smile knowing I am beautiful, inside. Someone told me I was I believe it-still. Though the planets revolve around me my world tilts! A windmill locks but I hold on and push! I hurry to and fro sorting through closets checking the delivery of my lines, running from silent terror. Inside, I am smooth from erosion, yet not bruised. There is an inner ear that cast off shells cannot reach.. I am strong because no one carried me. I am a space that peace revolves around. The planets move once more and healing fills, surrounds me. Saturn deliver coral lines Venus release passion! Sun rearrange! Moons release the tide, but no one can carry me- until I unfold my arms to reach for them. Someday I will. |

here's hoping that your arms will open while is still one who longs to carry you. . . excellently done. . . a flow of words from the heart. . . ----------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

until I unfold my arms to reach for them. Someday I will. I love the ending to this piece. The whole thing is very good, but I especially like the ending If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Hi there, Lady. I enjoyed this work. Perhaps now we can see one where the subject opens their arms to let someone else care for them for a while?  Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence. |

Thank you all so much, yes, perhaps I will continue along the thought of what happens when one opens her arms to love again. Someday! |

Zinsser: yes, out of choice, thank you! Smitten Kitten: It IS honest and sincere, it truly is, thank you. Kit: Thank you, that means a lot to me. Magnus: You are correct, I am hesitant, a bit inhibited. One day my poetry will be completely and utterly bared. What a joy the journey is eh? Thank you for reading. -befriend yourself and you will never be alone- |
