Tuesday Morning I awake some mornings to the beautiful sunrises that appear, not from my many windows, but from the beauty of another's beholding. He views life from the camera's eye, allowing me the softness, the day may offer ahead. I strike my own lines, weaving my way through chaos hearing echoes of my own life when time comes for me, left with only darkness to wade through, until the sun rises again. My words are undressed, naked with little happiness to decorate. Loneliness, the user of my body, and my mind confined to fantasy. My friends are words, others' mostly, searching out those that can mend my wounds, bandage the hurts that continually bruise me, some intentionally. Wouldn't it be wonderful to not have to speak silently like this and have someone who understands and can heal you with a hug? It is that easy... Some days I don't know what it feels like to be touched... so I touch her arm, rub the ache from her shoulder, and sigh when I watch to see if her body moves, to know she is still breathing. She is in her own world battling the elements, the same as I. Who would have known, that it would be the two of us, struggling after all these years, just trying to endure. As always, I am between the lines... on this Tuesday morning. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." (Will Moss) |

Maureen "Some days I don't know what it feels like to be touched... so I touch her arm, rub the ache from her shoulder, and sigh when I watch to see if her body moves, to know she is still breathing." To give like this, can only come back to you in a loving way one day.  |

This was beautifully written and expressed...very much enjoyed. I don't wake on my own anymore, lately the birds have been so noisey, they wake me up???? Wish I knew what all the fuss was about...but then, perhaps they're praying and saying, Thank you Lord for another one????? |

hugs heal slowly, but they do heal and..sometimes I forget what it is like to be touched too... I love this, and it certainly is nice to see you. All of my impurities are right here on my sleeve. This is Me"---Faith Hill |

To be healed with a hug.... you're right, sometimes it is that easy. And still so far out of reach. I remember when my grandma was dying... I sat by her early one morning and held her hand. She was asleep, and on morphine which I had just given her. It was still the earlier stages though, so she could talk some. Well, she woke up for just a moment, never knowing I was there, and she whispered "God give me strength." Then she relaxed again and fell back to sleep. Her flesh wasn't warm anymore, never offered the kind of hugs it used to. But the words still hang onto me, and now I wear them everyday. Sorry about the little outpour there. You reminded me of the story so I had to tell Hang on... Always, Alyssa Poems are made by fools like me, |

I often look between the lines, And there I’ve found many pleasant times, To reflect upon in solitude making simple rhymes. Your lines show strength Within their length, and meaning, Often more complex than originally seeming Your goodness exudes Transcending the deeper moods, Strength braced between the lines. Gloom |
