A Year On Decline I'm harvesting my thoughts, this year of my decline where soon, I must surrender the heat of my disappointment and ready myself for the colder hard facts, leaving behind seasons of happiness, the honeymoon period, the times of growth, change, learning to accept one another. I cling like the leaves on a tree, not wanting to separate, but knowing that time has come to release the past, allow the breeze to capture me in its hold, swirl me in the brightness of the old, float me below, allowing me to rest a bit upon solid ground until the energy returns, preparing me to fulfill the sequence of my life. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |
