it hurt to see your eyes each day watching every move I made-- even in a picture frame-- I felt the need to be "away." So once again, I took you, wrapped you in a linen shroud, and put you in a box-- ink-marked-- "for keeps" as I cursed myself aloud. -- you watch me so you know I weep-- as if I could put you aside. I believed that you had died. --- Today I put her clothes away. This girl who looks so much like me. I saw you in the picture frame-- winking our blue eyes in greet. ---- Forgive me, Father. I'm ashamed. I thought pretend could pave "the same"-- I thought that if I shielded eyes, then perhaps? you'd not see me... [This message has been edited by serenity blaze (10-30-2002 06:23 AM).] |

I hope you know just how good this really is, Serene one. This one hits VERY hard... "If I close my eyes, you can't see me" |

The seriousness of this is so very evident. If what I read within these lines are real it enters my heart like a hot knife...Paul |

It is just glass this smile and eyes that follow my every move just glass I say but to fold it closed does not put the touch away |

'thought that if I shielded eyes, then perhaps? you'd not see me...' Karen, this one struck a very deep cord. I love the way you share your soul. |

Karen, all I can do is state the obvious this is a powerful piece, thanks for sharing. The ladders of life that we scale merrily Move mysteriously around So that when you think you're climbing up, man In fact you're climbing down-Nick ca |
