To bare my thoughts...unrhymed It has been a long time since I could say that I was feeling good or that this coughing spell I have had so long has ended as suddenly as it had arrived... and if it hadn't been for this special place to release the stress that I am constantly under, not by choice but by a difficult arrangement, I am sure I would have bottomed out by now.. ~a poem of thanks~ I lived in a silence for over a year a self-imposed prison, needing some time. Each day I adjusted to living alone but inside holding back, were these feelings, I've rhymed. I needed you here, no medicine would cure the doctors, the many tried, draining me still. I would push and would center on thoughts not on me, hoping my mind with your words, would then fill, erasing the worry that caused this reaction, needing the time to renew and adjust. The power of words and the friendships that opened the windows for me, were a freshness of trust. I am passing my thanks onto those of you here, some needing more of a shoulder than I. My Florida friends aided unknowingly, each night in that closet, where nakdthoughts lie. And the poets I've met in the years before this one enriched me no matter the distance of mile. I give to all thanks for support and the friendships Each morning awaking, am I now with a smile. Maureen/nakdthoughts/Alicethruglass/LadyOllyne... all thank you for allowing me the space to write, release, and renew... "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Sue, thank you..and Michael..I have had a cough for a year and a half that could really wear me down. I am just glad that something in my mind decided to end it all since it was diagnosed as a reaction to stress...and nothing could make it stop in over a year of seeing doctors. I almost didn't notice it stopped last week. *s thank you Maureen |

Contabo, happy to see you return...despite not knowing who you were *s thank you. Karilea, I think I am more than thankful for several things in my life at this moment... but Passions is a big one...and most deserving of my thanks.  Kethry, that closet may haunt me forever *s...I guess I should have been thankful for the peace and quiet I had in there. Noah, thank you for your responses, always Ethel, Thank you for reading my poem of thanks, as you can see there are many friends made on here..some leading to realtime ones also. Hope, If we didn't feel that attachment to writing and reading and the friends made, I don't think we would be here on the internet today. hugs and thanks M [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (11-07-2002 05:41 AM).] |

Thanks Mike.. sorry to say that for the past 3 days I have had a virus... that's why I am on here so much but I know that will leave me soon, it was the coughing etc..that held me down for over a year. The Dr. said it should be leaving me within the last two months and for an intern, who only tried one remedy and it worked, I think he is the best...and he has restored my faith in Drs. So I have much to be thankful for this year. hugs M |
