Suppose the red glow were only warmth in pieces or cloaks so heavy they heat. What then? Sometimes when I allow the day to curl itself around my skin, and I struggle, I realize that the only way to speak is through it all. While others profess their ease and twist what I have left in knots. I could only have guessed that they'd doubt enough of me to truly understand why I ever began. And I could have studied the faces involved, I could have wept in segments for their loss. Although it seems I've found an association, I've doubled backwards more than once since then and I wonder how conversations really affect people, and if what's discussed is thought about once removed. I can't allow the notification of such, it hurts too much in circles. Occasionally though, when you spin,... it's for all the right reasons. All the reasons worth the sickness that's been strewn along the sidewalks inside. If I could take a hand across, when walls seem so far out of reach, if I could escort the tangles to soil and breathe, I'd spin then. Perhaps I'd slip myself outside this world, out from underneath it's weighted sky. Maybe I'd taste the morning offered in absolute perfect portions. I'd understand the distance then and dance in silence as I shared the stories swimming now. |

 (big hugggsssssss) Sometimes the easiest way is to speak through it all in healing, and to tell it as a story form, so then we express ourselves and feel the red glow of compassion! (sigh) Sooooooo touching, sweet friend, your words always shine with emotion and wisdom! (sigh) We all love you so very much, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet SpitFire, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
