It’s the need of change to grab with both hands and dispatch into the ether the essence of my being together with the pleasure/pain intensely magnified in order to impart a different point of view. It’s the need of love to destroy egotism and expose my heart to hungry predators anxious to devour my acquired control and leave on the floor vulnerability. It’s the need of desire to consume with some delight the rope of conformity, normality, and accepted norms, tied like bands of steel to prevent surrender to the long forgotten reason for my human state. It’s the need of my brain to break through the veil and filter to the left and right the intent of a dream and bring back to earth mementos of its worth to produce and duplicate the path to happiness. It’s the need of my soul to embrace and cuddle close a friend, a lover, child, soul-mate, forever as a stake to secure and hold fast the togetherness as one through depression and despondency and the trials of life. But it’s the need of “me” unmindful of transparency to stand in the light, hold out my hand, and welcome into love the one who has not any and lead him to the gate of future challenges. It’s the need of “me” until on the floor I kneel to receive my praise or punishment in the afterlife but of needs who can know whether real or make-believe when reality so insistent keeps them as a dream.

Hi, Maureen - Each of us are given gifts be it the gift of words or the gift of love. It's how we use it that's important and our reasons for doing so. You are so very gifted and from what I can gather, you use it well. Passing shadows - yes, I do believe you know what I mean. And JL - you may very well have spoken a truth with your comment. I'm a-pondering thereon. Thanks all! |

Sunshine - Thank you so much for the read. I come across so many things these days that hit home - sometimes pleasant, sometimes not. |
