Of Simple Needs Each day becomes a bit more painful as the whispering of my thoughts begin their cease. It might have been once, the challenge of you, to watch you watching me, the next of you sending waves of by-gone years stirring the simple needs of love. The patience taught is running out, the timer turned over one too many times, the sand soaked in humidity, stuck on a yesterday, to never continue. Grains of me still cling, but know the need to go on. There were no last words. If so, my mind has rubbed them out, protecting me from feeling cheated. I have fallen by the wayside, lines of music never ours, just old refrains that use to be. ~~*~~ I had an image of you, this Knight who had lent his sword to me to slay all the dragons in my life, to free myself from those memories that continue to shroud my existence. You are here now, in my view, traveling my parallel but back away each time I reach for you, never allowing me to cross your plane, to add the simple of me to color the darkness of you. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

There were no last words. If so, my mind has rubbed them out, protecting me from feeling cheated. Minds do that....as always you have phrases I wish I had thought of.. excellence once again |

M. I feel the same as 'Deer, you come through so often with so many unique ways of expressing thought that I wish I had thought of as well. Nicely written. |

Thank you Julie, I can always count on you to read my words. Hugs M Chris,*s You make me smile. I never know what is going to come out of my mind until it does. Thank you hugs M Michael, well that sure is a compliment for me, because I always wish I could write like you. Maybe we can do a duet some day. M Barry, sometimes I think I twist the words and phrases around..sort of like those Pennsylvania Dutch do here. I think I have been living among them a bit too long ... 28 years to be exact Thank you very much hugs M |
