Reflections.. Just a young girl couldn't wait to get out of high school Mother was tough five kids, all girls and full of spirit She remember's holding on to her baby sister, walking to school waiting to take her home, just the two of them now Mother scared the hell out of the others they finally went off and got married reflections... Soft tiny fingers wrapped into hers she was everything to her but, she didn't know it then Mother favored the baby she always felt left out and in the way She'd be on her own soon and the world would be easier to deal with reflections... She died inside everyday too sensitive to the world around her She would hide in her poetry and there she would lick her wounds reflections... Not a great student but, her writing got her through Music, peace, a little pot and beads seemed like the thing to do She created her world and lucked out by not getting sucked in like so many others Reflections... Pretty she was, men were never a problem just too many and too soon She longed for the tender little hand that was the guardian of trust Turn around and it's over turn around, it's only time Round and round till there's no more stopping Just one continous blurr reflections... Where did everyone go haunted now with age setting in Her mind a pane of glass and she's not sure which side she is on... reflections... 2003cSimplyGold [This message has been edited by SimplyGold (01-24-2003 06:24 PM).] |

Thank you for posting that. It reminds me so much of myself. Well, except the part about aging. But I'm willing to let that wait. "I don't need to scream for you to deem me aggravation." |

(big hugggsssssssss) Oh Electra, this is so very sad but true, sweet friend, how we often digress from ourselves and the inner-vision becoes blinded and obscure and we seem to look in different angles and how our very existence becomes gray! (sad sigh) This is so very heartfelt, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Electra, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Sunnyone, Thank you. I love your "figure". Is this something you created? Cpat, thanks. I love reading your material. Eromyna, Thanks for peeking in. I'll be looking for your writing. You reminded me of what an older friend of mine has quoted. "If youth only knew and old age could" Seymour, it's always a treat when you comment. I'm an admirer and a fan of your writing. Noah, so good to hear from you. Thank you tender heart. Ethel, thanks this was inspired by Cpat, (he probably doesn't know it). |
