Healing Bleed The bane of my existence Is but a healing bleed It is the carnage That has germinated new seed The mother of my heart Set soothing hand to sorrow Smoothing edges Giving birth to an infant tomorrow The ghost of childhood past Is Shepard of the lost Gathering and giving strength Experience and wisdom it’s redeeming cost The father of my armor Is the shield of my protection It is the inflexibility That spawns new direction The strain of living Is the weight that causes laceration Healing with tougher skin Quelling inner desperation The sisters of my spirit Are the one’s that understand my tears They have my back and hold my hand Lending power to fight my fears [This message has been edited by Susan Caldwell (03-28-2003 09:55 AM).] |

This is almost triggering.... You've captured alot here, images and personalities, and dependances. I like it. Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

 (big hugggsssssss) The bleeding is always the beginning of the healing process, and love is but the tourniquet that sustains the loss and makes strength out of all of it! (sigh) I send many angel hugs your way, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Susan, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
