Freed from Restraints I have awakened from emotions, those that tie you up in knots and drown you in soul searching, only to leave you lost in a world of yesterdays. I don't remember the last tears I cried, but still feel the dampness that has been raining, tapping for days, cursing my sleep until I wake clinging to sheets, wondering what thoughts pored out of me. I watch behind closed eyes, dreaming of neverhads and long overdues. I step inside myself pushing the limits of thought, watching for an opening, a margin of error to slip through and stake out my territory, freed from restraint. It is a measure of degree, an exposure of the extreme, that has led me to reach further and not surrender to the face in the mirror, but use the timing of the tapping, the reigning of my soul until happiness is mine. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

This is a good combination of sadness and, at the same time, strength and optimism...it ends well...hope you do, too!  |

Maureen, a very heart-felt write. I could feel it. Especially this ending...... It is a measure of degree, an exposure of the extreme, that has led me to reach further and not surrender to the face in the mirror, but use the timing of the tapping, the reigning of my soul until happiness is mine. Hugs to you, Lady Ethel |

Margherita, I actually am pretty happy. Ask anyone who sees me in person. It's just hard getting use to being alone here. Dixie, I try my best  Balladeer, I will always end up on top. This slight in my life will be the only one. If I can have as nice a life as I had the first 29-30 years of marriage, I will be smiling till the end. serenity blaze, hey you...I probably should learn to surrender...at least for some things Thank you Ethel hugs back M Julie, I am a cancer, so my emotions can change very easily *s Thank you for reading. M |
