The night stand (yes, a night stand) rests against that side of the bed one wine glass half full while blended thoughts rise to meet me each evening as darkness shoulders me in memories. Words resonate and I accommodate and bend to your fashion as I listen to the rain upon the lower rooftop reminding me how solitaire is played. I sometimes think I have lost my mind in borrowing the remnants of past wishes that can no longer rescue me from my non fiction life that poetic tears have played into, those many hands of fantasy. I promised, and I have promised before (although there is emptiness bleeding from that one) that I would always be here for you, waiting and would never turn my back or my worst side to you and I haven't. I have only vacationed myself, too many losses overwhelming, too much silence to hold me together and my leaning against in need has left me unsteady and now forgotten... And I can no longer look into that mirror with confidence, can no longer walk through to the other side and hold onto and feel the rush of a new day when I now know the hand I was meant to be dealt... does not include you. ~A~ |

And I can no longer look into that mirror with confidence, can no longer walk through to the other side and hold onto and feel the rush of a new day when I now know the hand I was meant to be dealt... does not include you. Only to realize the end would be as the beginning. I feel your sadness A~ |

"I have only vacationed myself, too many losses overwhelming, too much silence to hold me together and my leaning against in need has left me unsteady and now forgotten..." We can hold hands in this, because I am right there with you.  "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

"I sometimes think I have lost my mind in borrowing the remnants of past wishes that can no longer rescue me from my non fiction life that poetic tears have played into, those many hands of fantasy." "the hand I was meant to be dealt... does not include you." your words DO resonate many of us have felt this way...you write of it the way i wish i could  Never resign yourself to believing that you know what you'll end up with....they say we can have anything we want in life.....just make it happen Alice  thanks for another great read |
