I become whetted
parchment paper-
(soaked)
dissolving slow
to mottled remains.
Rising difficulty
in knowing
the “me” I was-
before parental demands
and domestic duty.

Am I wrong
for the yearning
to find myself?

How can I try
to be the same?
( I am not the same)

I staunch
my reckless tired-
(in split second design)
as I gaze my life
without being mommy and wife.

Smiling in grateful wonder
*I still love*
with illuminating heat
and know that
*this*
is what I was born to do.

yawns. smiles. loves.

This is the place
that I call home.



Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

devina - as you know people change, things change, and everything else changes in time. It's OK to change...
