‘Second to God’ I always said of you. We peered through each others eyes And listened for a heart beat. A quick, knowing hug, Last clasp, And I turned to leave. You called out Before I got anywhere, “What’s the difference, Between you and me?” It was that question you haunted me with. The one that faced every fear, joy, and trial, The one that I could hardly breathe reply… And so I whispered.. as I turned. And soaked the essence of the ground just until I forced my eyes to yours. “You’ve got confidence in me” I trembled. I turned around again, to regain my style… When I turned back for that smile You were gone. I do have confidence… That’s where faith Takes hold. - And so it was that time stood still - |

littlewing, thank you very much  This is about somoene who knows me best essentially second to God, I told him he should STOP and he said pretty much God told him things about me. I said he should stop listening lol So as I guess this might be confusing, this is just describing the insecurities I felt at being understood. And the comfort in it also. Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

Alyssa, Here's some more words to remember: "and soaked the essence of the ground" That is so cool! Love it. As I do the entire poem. Sensitive and inspritional. It's great! I just reread this and caught the difference between you and me. Wow! Courageous. Hugs and love, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

EA, thank you so much y'know I didn't even think this poem would get more than one reply... it isn't very well written, just one of those multi meaning pieces that no one can quite understand but me. I'm glad you found some wonderful in there.Pat, thank you I'm one of those people who studies the ground when thinking too hard. Not too sure how much courage this shows though, the beginning of his asking me the question came from one of those all too long car rides home from church where I was vulnerable because I'd decided I couldn't fight. He reminded me he did have confidence in me.. even if I didn't on myself. Glad you enjoyed this hugs and love.Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |
