Clearance I am crusted in thoughts of how my crumbling is not becoming of me. How I am choking on the taste, suffocating from the existing silence of a heart beat. Muffled are my words, muzzled are the lips repressing the bottled up emotions, disguised from day to day. Hidden now, are wants, the desires that have been tampered, trifled with, strung along in jest. I am but a prank, amusing to some, an object of ridicule, just along for the ride. Cheap to others, of small value, poor quality, I am worthy of no respect. If discounted, the last on the shelf to be dusted, sold at half price. By next week, you can have me for a song and a dance. I am already conditioned, to the fit of you. "For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul."

Very well said Maureen. It hurts to feel like yesterday's clearance item. Reject that sales tag, dust yourself off a bit and put yourself back out there in neon to all prospective shoppers: "valuable, rare, one-of-a-kind" |

Ah...if only you could see yourself as we see you. You are a priceless jewel that is most rare and unique in a world where everyone copies each other. I hope things get better for you, dear one. **big hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

(big hugggsssssssss) Oh no, that's not true at all, that's not the loving and beautiful Maureen speaking! (sigh) Always follow your loving heart, and you will find yourself dancing happily soon enough with the love you will cherish forever! (sigh) We all love you, sweet friend! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Maureen, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Kay...fly out here? That would be a real treat *s thank you Midnitesun oh I don't feel like it, I am it.. an antique, overlooked, in a dark corner, slightly worn from being fingered by prospective buyers who change their minds. Startime ..believe me, I see me as everyone sees me..yes I am unique, that I know for sure, sadly no one else will ever find that out. Better is not in my vocabulary, sameness resides where I live in my heart. Enchantress thank you,Nancy, but it seems "special" has little meaning in my life. Yesterday I realized that. Noah..no longer will I follow my hear as that is where all the lies begin...and now end. wornways ..maybe he does, shame others on earth cannot see that. Thank you all. ~Wynter "For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. |
