Some Are Understandings



Colorless, still,
remaining a memory
of summer and sun
Tahoe cold
as only the deeper
recesses of the lake might be

light-weighted floats
grasping hand
still waters never threatening
except to a mother’s fear

that was a summer
though young, how young must it be
to have an old soul thrive
within

that was a summer
of hearkening, hearing, the first tremors
of realize
realize
who you might one day be

the far away mountains heard
oh they heard

oh
they heard…

though faint, the laughter
of the soul
skipped across the waters
and in looking back
there is now knowledge
that there was looking forward

from the beginning…

the horizon was mine
all for the walking

even

across the water…



This...is dedicated,
to all of the Women of Passions...
who know me, and understand me...
and walk with me...
thank you.

I will only say,  I am proud TO SEE this
lady we have all come to know so well...
Her and her beautiful heart and million
dollar smile.

Karilea you have no idea what this read means to me today...
you have touched my heart with these words
and I know there will be many others...

It is with pride that I walk beside
that wonderful heart.....

and that beautiful face.
So pleased to see this Sunshine.
Bless you for the treasure.

somebody tell me, please help me....
understand.......(as sung by Trace Adkins)

I think I see some Sunshine today...
I see her in her beauty, present
and also in her beauty, past
with her smile
she lights these pages
and through her words
her wisdom speaks

I walk beside her...
proudly
~ happy smiling sunshiny hugs

Thank you for posting this and for just being you!  This is beautiful, moving and it's begging to be a keeper.
And hey! I finally know what you look like...you are one lovely and sophisticated looking lady!...so go ahead and strut your stuff and your poetic pen

Take care,
