gifted with words and given glue, little by little able to patch myself through, each passage secured behind me. but I cannot write through this dark doorway; I cannot write this one away. reflections diminish daily, overly taxed by past mistakes that haunt memory's pleas. fondness trips over misgivings that lurk, darkly waiting. hindsight’s perspective tangles into today’s concentration; regret’s heartbeats grow daily more deafening. words given or not it remains open, because it has need to; I must not forget. remembrance is love and remembrance is all that is left. here is now requisite, here is where I will stay. remorsefully it swings back and forth on memory oiled hinges, its lock mercilessly broken; God all I can ask is give me strength. I can’t shut this door. [This message has been edited by jellybeans (08-16-2004 05:38 PM).] |

hindsight’s perspective tangles into today’s concentration; I think this is one of your best... so finding a section to highlight wasn't easy. But this speaks so eloquently... and is such unfortunate truth. Excellent work, my friend!! |

this is my hope, that within my words, everyone can identify at least with a word or two, and some of you who live with loss, that you will find understanding in my struggle to cope...I value you all here so much......you stay with me whether I have words or not *smiles and hugs* suthern, special thank you for helping me with my perspective on these, without your 'read' they just aren't finished, and this time you helped push them into post'abiltity...thank you lady |

*sigh* some doors have a need to remain open; we can't always understand why |

hindsight’s perspective tangles into today’s concentration; regret’s heartbeats grow daily more deafening. hugs to you...I know of your struggle and although mine is not quite the same I feel your words when I read them, as I do Suthern's. Some days my heartbeats so hard and anxiety gets the best of me, although I am learning to control it and the fears that arise because of it. M |

I can’t shut this door." I just want to hug you, Jellybeans...the pain in your thoughtful and beautifully sad penning reaches beyond the screen of my computer...for I remember loss, too, and dreams...sometimes I wanted to sleep forever because I would dream of the one I missed and was afraid I would not dream again if I woke up. Hang on to your faith strongly dear one. This door will probably always be there, but maybe it will get easier to walk to and from. ......jo |
