Stock, and Yards Sometimes we take one step at a time, especially in months with an “r”, but those steps turn into yards easily enough over moments. In taking stock of life, of self, of time, what’s left of mine, I find that I don’t “stink” so much. It is September. I don’t always call, or write letters as I should but I am with those I love, mentally, perceptionally, physically there… wishing to close this self. Doing what everyone has said to do – “do for you for a change,” [I hear chance!] I try to capitulate to my own desires, and find brick walls, so close to home, that my head bleeds. But it is only figuratively, not literally, and I believe maybe, it, too, shall pass… like a kidney stone. No change comes without thought, to some without consent, to all… without desire, by one. I have taken stock, looked in the mirror, will deal with what I see… will step, not by a bit at a time, but by yards, in order to gain more. For time is fleeting…my desires are long. |

Time is indeed fleeting...go for it gal! Very heartfelt, truthful write Karilea! ~Hugs & Luv ya!~ ~ Summer can't be over... |

This poem would have been an exercise in "Strum und Drang" under almost anyone else's pen....but from yours comes gentle thought and introspective understanding. I like this poem very much, and for several reasons which you will also understand. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Loved the title, although being the farm girl that I am, I thought it was going to be about Stockyards! Hm... Now you've really got me thinkun! "Doing what everyone has said to do – “do for you for a change,” [I hear chance!] I try to capitulate to my own desires, and find brick walls, so close to home, that my head bleeds. But it is only figuratively, not literally, and I believe maybe, it, too, shall pass… like a kidney stone." Sunnyone, go those yards, take that stone and kick a field goal, win the game... hugs, missie |

"Sometimes we take one step at a time, especially in months with an “r”," Karilea, I see my little sis beat me to the punch on posting to this one. That's good. There was so much meaning throughout this heartfelt write and much between the lines, I think. I am still thinking you're an angel for all you do and all you are attempting to do....stay strong, angel SIL.  ......jo |
