The Word of the Day I see too much of the lives around me, having none, wishing for naught, those days over, as one journey begins its end. I feel too much of the regrets of yesterday, having too many, knowing more are to come, as each new day arrives, and creates a path for me. I know too much, yet not enough, still wearing the cloak of hurt, sometimes of shame, but mostly of a love that seems to be going nowhere. I take you off and drag you around, the heaviness draining... the roots of love feeling evil, as my mind plays tricks on me, fools me into believing even though I see the storm clouds ahead, drawing me towards them needing the lightning to strike so my eyes become alert, needing the thunder to roll, so I hear only the moments passing of a life waiting for the calm, hoping, for when relief is the word of the day. 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 (10-04-2002 01:51 PM).] |

Virginia..I know some days are like that..it is drizzling here and kind of dark and we are expecting a thunderstorm. I actually love them...the electricity in the air gives me energy. *s M C..it is just Me...feeling the day out, I am relieved many times during a day..I sigh alot, too... sometimes too much making me dizzy. Just teasing, I am fine Seymour, yes I think peace is a nice word for the day..and it is so quiet here, I can hear my own heart beating. Thanks and hugs M Good Morning Nan, thank you for stopping by. I still am working on the FLA. poems but there was so much that went on..this is just an in between poem. M |
