The house is the same A collection of years and memories gone silent I wander through My breath carefully weaving around them in the narrow distance between then and now A frozen blink of space nothing really touches A deadzone They are full Holding their story in contentment A rich deep breath at peace with a beginning and an end And then there's me Left over Separate and left behind in a place I no longer belong Each day like escalator steps moving on without me My foot hovering over each one tentatively balancing on a thin clinging of hope and faith Looking for one that might fit a misfit who's end came and left her behind |

Thanks so much, everyone, and please - this write came after much healing. It is the first time I've tried to express that time period in words, so although it does SOUND dark and depressing and like I'm falling off my own cliff, I'm really not. Well, at least not today! ~smiling~ [This message has been edited by Tea Lady (07-27-2002 08:39 PM).] |

It is good to write, even after the fact. Writing about that which has hurt us often heals us. Well done. Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. |

I think many many people have gone through these feelings and yet have been unable to express it so artfully and expertly. However, since you're still here, surely you are not 'left behind' rather that God's not finished with you yet. I think many have the feelings you have, as well, without feeling they've gone on beyond their own end. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
