*thanks to serenity for the challenge line, "even in my loneliness, I choose to stand alone. . . " the emptiness is all around me they make it worse with their hushed whispers behind they don't know that I can hear them their voices resonate in my mind like tails of nine tearing at my heart for reasons I don't know I want to be a part of them perhaps to show them what they're not seeing and what they need to see what they need to find themselves again but, the loneliness still stands like a wall between us my decisions have built a wall as have the ones they made but, I have begun to tear down my wall for them yet, their wall still remains and my loneliness continues but, even in my loneliness, I choose to stand alone knowing my light will be seen ------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

There is much here, much to comprehend. IT's almost as if you are reading my thoughts today.  Kathleen (Kay) |

This is a wonderful challenge response. Sven, you have a very gentle way of tearing down walls. And when the wall is really, really thick, I believe you can always find a door to open. |

Sven - my friend, we must be living in a very close parallel world. You have expressed my thoughts in your writing, as if you know what they are. These words are so very strong, they have touched me very deeply... BC |

A strong statement Sven. Conflict is unavoidable in life and I gather from this that you and I share the same trait of sealing a schism even when we were the wronged party. Enjoyed |

Keep lowering the walls, I think that is the best thing we can hope to do. You said this well. Sandra |

I face similar walls myself my friend. Walls of jealousy, insecurity, those lacking insight, self confidence etc... but all we can do is hold fast to who we are and what we believe in - that is the greater good. For to partake of such stupidity is only a waste of time.. Wonderfully penned hon.. *hugs* Isis *~ Love and Compassion are the moral fabric of world peace. ~* |
