I was invisible For all those years Taking a chance Howling to the moon Rear view mirrors Try to scare me Their little tongues sticking out Shark dead eyes, mocking Like some Halloween demon But… Childish days counted sweet My defeated ears Still believe in surprise Despite ripple effects Which pulled the soul from my arms I grew 2 more! Hey, you gotta work with whatcha got! I am not a painter But can hold a pen With each day that goes by There is no one to blame Yes, esteem comes real cool These days... Fat grins of desire...hunger For some sound in the wind Something to believe in? Or a red dress lover With desire in it’s hem Or long winter naps Or a savior who drives them to church Everybodies searching for somethin to believe in? I wonder how many find it? Standing right before their eyes? When all is said and done It’s the heavier rain That wears brass knuckles Cultivating memento Lessening the wheels of guilt Weathering the pain Placing coin in my pockets With fringed corridors anonymous I take the energetic air And chose to walk single-handedly Theres an entire world looking at its watch And unaided...by my own choice Not fear, not anger or hate least of all revenge.... But mature reality in it’s place Regretting nothing, cept any soul I've bruised In all 3 minds of self Love is here…like a sweet flower It jumped in and saved me When I was drowning Glints of my name stand before me Smiling and holding out it’s hand Showing me the money Which had me at hello! |

Lee: I have missed your writing, you always write thick and full of imagery. This actually brought a tear . . . Regretting nothing, cept any soul I've bruised What a beautiful ending. |

"I was invisible For all those years Taking a chance Howling to the moon" "Everybodies searching for somethin to believe in? I wonder how many find it? Standing right before their eyes?" ~ It is profound and thoughtful passages like the ones above that make me such a fan of your writing. Love and Light, Linda |
