Interference From The Past |

I try to reach past the limitations of my own humanity and bury the yesterdays that I hold inside so secretly, and my forgiveness flows freely only to find regret, being held within my only reprimand. Now I wander, lost just as does time being blown upon the sands of life. I wear this heart openly upon my sleeve and like a badge of courage it bleeds with hope and makes me believe in a dream I pray to last. Tomorrow would be much clearer without this interference from the past.... I could have missed the pain, but I would have had to miss the dance~ Garth..

I don't think the interferrence can ever be stilled, Donna. It is part of us, making us who we are and can't be extracted from our minds. hugs M |

Donna, I understand completely. I have my own "interferences from the past"........ "Love makes the world go around" |

You're a strong woman, so I know the interference is handled well. The stars will shine when I am gone, |

Thank you all so very much for your encouragement and support. This was a different stretch for me. Sometimes the past has a way of affecting the future, and not always in good ways. It is at those times that we dig even a little deeper to get past it. Thanks for baring with me while my mind rambles. Peace and happy New Year to all. |

Ah little one...now look at the poem, and then look at the signature line! Too late we learn that our early moves will come back to haunt us...too bad that we cannot be born old and wise, and grow young and foolish. A good purge... but don't put Garth away just yet! |

I try to reach past the limitations of my own humanity and bury the yesterdays that I hold inside so secretly, I understand this completely! There are some things that are better left unsaid. We are alone in our thoughts and with the past that makes up a part of who we are. Thank you for your Gentle Spirit and the soft brush of your words. Hugs Donna~ [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (12-31-2002 06:41 PM).] |

I think many will feel the familiarity of these feelings, well done my friend! I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on... ~ Jackson Browne |

Donna, A wonderful poem. I have learned when the past keeps coming up, it is important for me to take a 'painful' look at what was wrong with me, not what was wrong with them. Not an easy task, but possible. And just sort of plant those new seeds of knowledge gained from old experiences, so that new happy living grows in future's garden. Hugs and love, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |
