I wonder how she’s painted Hidden under colored cloth; Are her eyes full of sparkle Or given death dull eyes? Is the canvas finished Or met by destroying brush that rubbed away vibrant line, leaving choking portrait Dust? After last sitting she hoped the artist knew how to paint what's really inside, hoping for try anew. Sadie (I’ve said a lot of angry words lately to the people I love the most, breaking longtime bridges. I would only hope that they can forgive and think not less of me.) |

Well, stop that!  Actually, Sadie, sometimes some things have to be said, in order to clear the air. Them that love you, don't stop. and you said it here.... she hoped the artist knew how to paint what's really inside, trust me, honey... He does. |

Thank you Enchantress. I've pretty well cut strings and I really didn't want to, but circumstances lately left me in a mess and I did it out of frustration and self-hate. I'm feeling a little better, thank you, Sweetie... |

Here's one who thinks more....and is glad for a bunch of reasons, to see this poem. The painting's not done until the last brush stroke is dry, and that doesn't happen until long after the artist stops working. Until then, it can change and change again. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Sunshine, Well, stop that! Actually, Sadie, sometimes some things have to be said, in order to clear the air. (Sunshine, this is true, but I DIDN'T clear the air. I emptied the air. And said nothing that made sense. I hurt my oldest sister who already has had enough to last a lifetime, cut ties with those I need) Them that love you, don't stop. and you said it here.... she hoped the artist knew how to paint what's really inside, trust me, honey... He does. (He was just used for poetic purposes; I thought it would sound silly to have several artists, so I chose that gender.) You are a Sweetheart, Sunshine. Truly a blessing... Love, Sa [This message has been edited by Sadelite (06-08-2004 11:16 AM).] |

bless you, what a wonderful write...we all say and do things we don't mean...and it hurts so, when we do....but an I'm sorry and a big hug might straighten things and make them perfectly new. Hugs and best wishes. |

Sadie, the ties between sisters are unbreakable, I believe. You just need to work it out with her -- Mom always quoted, "You always hurt the ones you love," maybe that's a place to start; I think our other sister knows that deep down. Sadie, this was a painful write, I know (good one), but I see some optimism in your words and that makes me feel better for you. and love, the other one |

The true Artist, the one Who has created you knows the you inside, He does need a capital H. One of my favorite songs is "He's Still Workin' on Me." Have you heard it? It's a wonderful poem, I especially love the idea of the "brush." Allow His strokes to soothe your heart and help you forgive yourself and the reasons that caused your reactions, as well. The strength of your desire is embodied in your poem; it will surely win out over your despair. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Though bridges may be broken, they can be rebuilt -- that's the incredible thing about love, its resiliency. My heart to you. And remember, we are all in the mode of being created, thank heavens for erasers! SusanThe whole of the Universe resides within each individual heart. |

I read the poem and didn't read your comments until a second read...the poem has some fantastic thought processes going on it...loved it...your comments...well as the old saying goes...to err is human; to forgive divine...it still holds true...may those who wish to paint you harshly have the wherewithal to catch a spark of the divine...and paint you with the brush strokes of true forgiveness... |

Thank you, all. Last weekend was hell on earth. I've had a lot of rough times, but I think it was nearing the top of the chart. You all have and are continuing to help me through it. Sadelite~ |
