For Brunettes Only I press those thoughts again trying to squeeze them into alloted time, knowing there is only so much of it to go around. Awakened early, trying to mend my ways, knowing the look forward, at least on this day is one of sunshine and possibilities. Who am I to distance myself from whispered words that burn into my night mind preying on the not forgotten against the softness within me? What is this, that keeps me awake, tensing my body though trying to dream those dreams that should be within my dark hold? I could drink myself into oblivion, for I have the means but lack the willpower. I need to remember all that passes through me, live it, learn from it and let temptation fall where it may. I could never be blonde, though it is enticing to become someone I am not. I could wish for a young soul, but then I would have missed some of the best times of my life. I could walk out on it all, sometimes wanting the easiness of it. With each moment, I am thinking ahead while living the present, knowing life continues and somehow... I will endure. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

I can certainly relate to this one, Maureen. Yes, we do survive in spite of ourselves - I often wonder why though. |

Thank you, everyone. Yes, I will endure...despite the obstacles. Inked one I don't really need to try being a blonde. My greys beneath are turning me light enough. Besides, I y'am what I y'am.Brad, thank you for the brunette confidence... Although I am much lighter than I use to be, I could never really be blonde...I would clash with my olive skin color.  M |

So much past applied to the present so well making for the brightest future. Always you endure with class!  P.S. Good choice on the blonde thing.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
