The Moon
(she's dead?)
dry and drift
burst reflected
on a dime
dot my eyes and cross the breeze
leaving streaks of tears
and sighs
down upon the children-cheek
once in upward purity
standing with an innocence

of the mouth too wide -
again
wishing it would snow...

OMG you are completely insane!
(but I know this already and
still I proceed)

Karen . . . God you know this is
becoming a childrens book here . . .
I am so serious . . . I was just reading
to Billy and all the books are happy and
giddy and so Partridge Family,
needless to say he started getting bored
(he is MY child afterall) *grin*

Anyhow . . .

this is the perfect twin to what I wrote,
I mean I showed innocence and here, it has been taken away . . .

of the mouth too wide -
again


and we both have written in the simplest
sense which magnifies the meaning and
actually we didnt even really mean to
write any of this with goes right along
with the beautiful innocence of children
and how we lose that sight even after
begging for it . . . searching and hoping
for it - especially if you once KNEW it and
lost it . . . I often wonder how different
I may be - you know?  Now you have me on a
rampage here . . . lol - geez I still feel
like that a lot too . . .

we found us --->> birth
we lose us ---->> life

(or do we lose ourselves with birth?)

It is beautiful Lady K and I thank you
for this and for you and Thank God that
you understand me (God knows few do)

you helped me to better understand what I wrote . . .

you are a gift . . .

Thanks all, for reading and to Susie for the inspiration.

And *chuckling*

Susie? Last time I read a sentence such as the one in your reply it was written by someone named "doreen."



Hugs to all.
