Tempered Listening to the drops hitting one after the other, a rhthym once putting me to sleep now keeping me awake. The darkness ahead, obscuring future plans once palatable, now desensitizing my taste for what lies ahead. Death is inevitable, but the daily motions and routines deny the truth for now. Never knowing when it will strike lays a fear in this heart, breaking up a closeness that would otherwise be there to comfort. I sleep away my thoughts in vagueness, though behind these eyes the reel still rolls and the body wakes as if it never rested, tomorrow's tenseness facing me in the mirror. Maybe the miracle that hasn't produced is that the end will come soon and the waiting will be over. Tears will be allowed and then the memories will change the course of this one's life. My words are almost meaningless now, to me, to her, probably to any who read, unless you have seen what death looks like walking and talking to you. You wear blinders, smile alot or look away when you can't control the emotions wanting out of your body. A child should not leave before its parent, a mother shushing away the news, and me having to bear it all. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." (Will Moss) |

Words fail me Maur, so my prayers will have to do. I too wish I could ease your pain. Thinking of you, with love~ |
