Fields lie barren As wind bares down The ache of cold like loneliness In that it makes you long For something gone But sometimes In our need to remember We forget What was missing What became intolerable Or that we learned to become silent Instead we see what we want Read what we need Learn to ignore- For sanity's sake In the end We miss the good For the bad becomes And teaches us To settle- For isn't something better than nothing? And it's just too hard to go November winds Remind me To hear the sound And know I am here No longer there ~Special Thank you to Edder for being the wall in which I bounced this off of.~ [This message has been edited by Susan Caldwell (11-06-2003 11:53 AM).] |

"For isn't something better than nothing? And it's just too hard to go November winds Remind me To hear the sound And know I am here No longer there" Ah Susan..how well I know this feeling.. and how true that we settle for something far less than what we deserve because it becomes comfortable. Well done! Hugs~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

"In the end We miss the good For the bad becomes And teaches us To settle- For isn't something better than nothing? And it's just too hard to go November winds Remind me To hear the sound And know I am here No longer there" Well, ya know I can relate to this one. I sure am glad you're here, no longer there. But then again, if you were still there and I didn't know you, then I wouldn't miss you huh? Ok, now I'm confusing myself. Great writing darlin. Reminds my of a Monet...  "I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind |

Eddie~ I am just glad you are like me and can email at work...lol...which reminds me of a joke... Why is there a white line down the center of the hallway in Government buildings? So the people coming in late don't bump into the people leaving early! Sue~Thank you!

Susan "For the bad becomes And teaches us To settle-" There are so many people leading this kind of life...learning to settle. I'm glad you realized and left. I like this honest outpouring of your heart. Hugs! |

"For isn't something better than nothing? And it's just too hard to go My expression for this is "Old pain is safer than new risk." Took me quite a while to realize this isn't true. Very lovely write. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
