finding home she left that small town, her life packed in a cardboard box shoved in the trunk of an ‘89 Caviler and dreamed of stardom free the streets of East LA crowded against her dingy second floor apartment where she rehearsed the art of living on her own while trying to make a living waiting tables photo shoots could not replace the loneliness she felt each time her eyes crossed the time worn photos of summer picnics with a certain old beau whom she’d assured herself was building a home for two near the big pines instead of pining for her she practiced her rhythm each day while dancing around the dreams she’d set in motion only to watch them collapse before her eyes she’d given up farms for fame corn for color gardens for glitz pastures for principles skies for skyscrapers and sacrificed love for limelight she’d given up until one night a phone call in soft spoken words from a familiar voice finally took her home |

she’d given up until one night a phone call in soft spoken words from a familiar voice finally took her home Ruth, I felt this one. It was very touching. There are many that this happens to.... maybe not in the same way, but searching for dreams. Very good writing. Hugs, Ethel |
