Of Love and Death I cry for each loss, the finger count beyond mine of friends, friends of friends, of relatives known and unknown. They have crossed my path, or I theirs awakening that which was lonely, infecting me with a peace, in my chaotic world. I cry today for you, as if it was for me, all over again. Words can't ever flow from my heart to yours, as easily as I would wish because the wall is up and my mind is too tired to reach and touch even though I try. How many good-byes will we have to endure... How many stories of yesterdays' Why do we lose those who have made us who we are, sometimes leaving feelings unsaid until it is too late to be heard. I plead for a moment's surrender, to not be consumed in the negative, but to feel the Hope that is hiding around the corner, and is waiting for you, for me, for all of us who have loved and lost. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." (Will Moss) [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (02-26-2003 11:00 AM).] |

Maureen, this is beautiful written. I hang on to hope each and everyday. For both, myself and my friends. Even for some who aren't my friends. |

I wish to thank all of you for your responses. I wrote this for a friend of mine (a neighbor)who has just lost her mother and is trying to cope these next few days with the reality of death. I know it also represents love lost and so I combined my feelings for both this morning and posted how I am feeling. M |

I cry today for you, as if it was for me, all over again. Words can't ever flow from my heart to yours, as easily as I would wish because the wall is up and my mind is too tired to reach and touch even though I try. You, dear Lady, tear the wall down and touch so many of us through your poetry. Love and hugs to you always Maureen~ |

I know Michele, it seems that way. As we get older the days become shorter. Lori, viewings and funerals are tough. I have been to enough now that I should be able to make it through the day, but some times the coldness gets to you, both in thought and temperature. hugss M |
