 Relationships of any kind seem to develop in a here, and now, “you see me if you will; you know me, even if you won’t”… coming from those who may be lost, and found. Lives are lost, in death… not mislaid or just gone, neither are they nowhere to be unearthed, or is it, that they have just gone astray… and we find ourselves forlorn in the missing ~ of the bona fide dead, we miss that vibrancy of a once life, and we remain quite bewildered in our confusion… but death is not always the culprit. Sometimes, one is off course, adrift in a milieu of uncertainty and they, the lost ones, feel abandoned by all. … We know they are there. We hurt in their absence. We wait. Will there be a someday? When they acknowledge that it was their choice to vanish, while the rest of the familial connection stand helpless to set the course of the one who was off course, trying to tack it back to right. Yet, it will always be, that the ones that were left behind, feeling as one … misplaced, or displaced, who held their uncertainty in all tomorrows, who, in all of their awakenings of a wonder of what if, or might know a fitful moment before a knotted sleep brings them to the brink of not knowing… what a ring of phone might bring. Instant death? Instant hope? When does blood leave remorse behind? When does love, leave? When is it proper, then, to let lost, loved, lives, return? Perhaps, in a dream. Perhaps… in a life, reclaimed. Photo, Courtesy, Ethel Kent [This message has been edited by Sunshine (01-29-2004 12:11 PM).] |

Each star has its own time, distance and vary in their brilliance. Not all fall in dramatic streaks. Some just fade away. Much enjoyed Kind Heart. |

Oh, Karilea, this is so beautifully written... and yes, it is so kind and compassionate. (By the way, I like the picture.)  Hugs Ethel |

That really is such a sad situation Karilea. The hurt that we cause those closest to us, really is the worst. Here’s hoping to lonely phones ringing, and closed doors knocking, in the middle of the night. The wiping away of tears, and the much needed mending... of a broken heart. Blessings My Friend, Richy |

This is very "now" to me as a son of dear friends just returned to the family after several years. It is always great to read you, Sunshine. Like El Sol, you brighten my day. KJ |

Hi Sunshine. On the challenge page, it said to go to Open Poetry and find the #12 poem and write in response to it. I decided to do that and it was this poem. I put my response on the challenge page, but forgot to reply here. It was so strange that this was the #12 poem because it hits so close to home. You've put so many of my thoughts into such captivating words. I really love this poem. Even if it hurts to read. Everything is just so raw now. But, I really appreciated this read. You're so gifted. Thanks for sharing. |

When does love, leave? Not until last breath... if even then. *S* This is lovely and eloquent... a peek at pain so many live with... the wonder and worry filter into every moment. |
