I remember the early days, feeling so brand new. My eyes staring in awe at the wonder of my own little piece of paradise, a far off place I had never dared to dream of. My spirit soared higher than I had ever flown, in ways I had never known before. Always I will savor the thrill of those days shaded from the sun, beneath a canopy with you. I am not sure when it all changed although I am aware of how and why there is no blame, only my shame for allowing myself to daydream. Hoping that part of it was real and true. When I least expected it the winds changed direction blowing sand in my eyes and suddenly everything became unclear. I sit and wonder,was it only a mirage a passing fancy, or a simple twist of fate. Wounded by the words that had no real meaning a bittersweet time that no longer prevails. My heart collected and tossed in a bucket breaking apart like sea shells. Left sifting through the sands shattered by the crashing waves left somewhere on a forgotten shore. The hardest part is in the leaving turning my back on what matters most. I pray that time will wash away the grieving and leave the snapshots of memories behind, so that someday I might wade through them and remember you. For those days in my paradise was the best place I had ever been. Only now do I realize I was stealing away on borrowed time. |

Well crap, guess I've finally hit bottom and I am shipwrecked for the time being. Thanks so much to all of you for reading. I don't know that I will be around much anymore due to my own personal hang ups.  This is my way of bowing out as I am lacking in positive thoughts of late, I don't want to go but it is time for me to leave....not to mention my poor and pitiful poetry is embarrassing!! Thanks to all of you for extending your friendship through the kindness of your words. Fondly~ |

BluesSerenade~ 'I pray that time will wash away the grieving and leave the snapshots of memories behind, so that someday I might wade through them and remember you.' I think time often brings us waves of memories ...~ This is so lovely ... AND now that I did a topic review and saw your 'leaving' comments ... I'll just say ... do what you think you've got to do ... but remember ... we've always got a light on to show our friends the way home~ Write and share them with us when next you feel the need of a gentle hug~ We'll be here, sweet poetess~ *HUGS* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I am not sure when it all changed although I am aware of how and why there is no blame, only my shame for allowing myself to daydream. Hoping that part of it was real and true. It is the touch of innocence in a situation or relationship that seems so promising, so hopeful and that is so easily lost... that loss..can in my mind be compared to a loss of hope... leaving us feeling the emptiness of ourselves... a wonderful write, and one that speaks to the heart.. and of the heart.... |

Your poetry is neither poor nor pitiful. It expresses the true feelings everyone shares at some time or another in ways that every tear can relate. Excellently written. |
