And you think to yourself who knows beyond a doubt the truth of your words uttered right out loud so what does it matter whether fiction or folk lore or merely a thought someone had once long before. But someone up above, within, or at your side, brushes past the veils of deceptions many lies and steps into the light better able then to see how glows the inner soul when you choose to speak. It’s a bothersome ordeal for me always to decide is this a lie, can I believe, or must I walk astride and fall in step with what I hear and cross the chasm, rift, created by the misuse of our most precious gift. But when I look into your eyes I see no guiding light and I must wend my way from your soul into mine to believe the truth, perceive a lie, or shuffle merrily uphill along an angled path that sucks my energy. It’s a bothersome ordeal to walk so many miles and land up facing east when north is my desire. it’s a bothersome ordeal to turn my head around and search amongst air particles for firm and solid ground. A straight unbroken line with no outlines undefined is no bothersome ordeal for brain waves of a mind for always like a compass it leads me to the truth and I can follow happily with no need of any proof. But don’t bother me tonight; I’m tired and need to cry, my body aches tell me I’ve walked ten thousand miles! |

Helen "But don’t bother me tonight; I’m tired and need to cry, my body aches tell me I’ve walked ten thousand miles!" I know this feeling...and wish you rest and renewal. Hugs! I am just a traveler looking for a home, finding I carry it around with me, and sometimes it's just too heavy. |

Dear Martie, Thanks for the read and wishes. One can only rest in the truth - a lie, be it one's own or another's is a most unsettling place and no matter how we move and turn we just can't settle in. Hi, Grover, Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment on one of my many stories. I appreciate it. |
