Note: I know I haven't left many comments, but I'll catch up soon. Whilst I have time, I'm posting this poem. It may not be too great, but I wrote it on even more of a major whim than usual. Sorry. Here, the light shatters and tears like soft, wet crepe paper. Then, it dries and flies away in the dark. It's moments like these that I forget to breathe.. seconds that stitch themselves together and somehow form years and decades. It is now that I've found life is so short and passes quickly. I know that someday I will expire and you make it so hard to accept. I have stumbled through life, aloof and unconcerned with my body and my mind constantly missing that spark that only shines once and awhile. But now, I know that I will die someday and you may still need me. You may be young, or old, or I might still be without my grey..what then will we do.. I still look upon you and feel too sick, broken and worthless to make the last bit of time stain you.. Uncertainty is a fear of many, an instinct if you will. never question your mortality it will only shatter and tear like soft wet crepe paper then dry and fly away in the dark. |

nodding here you feel it too and five a.m. is lonely at times, but then there are those two eyes staring brave...they take and they give back strength. that's what I got out of this anyhow. hugs |

Good to read you again, Meg, though this one seems a bit sad. Not that post partem stuff? How is our newest little passionate poet doing? big hugs to you both |

Excellent write ... the melancholy is deeply felt and quite certainly related to the particular moment (post partum). You can't imagine to be ever separate from your child, which I completely understand. Love, Margherita |

grinning, amazing what a little birth will do...changes your priorities and the way we see things...with great changes yet to come... as you can see, I'm taking the positive from this one.. So good to see you and read you Thank you |

Exactly, Meg. A double edged sword, NOW you actually have to care about YOU too . . . just know that lil' soul is always going to love you. never apologize for writing, this is beautiful. |

 I missed you!! and yep..it scares the crap out of me too, to think I might have to leave the one that still needs me...so I try to make the most out of every day and teach her how to stand on her own if it comes to that  |

I wish I had a dollar for everytime this has come up about my son over 39 years, I would be rich! Big responsibility these kids become and like Suzie says, now you have two to take care of you and her. Well, that is what I got from this anywhoooo. Hang in there, it gets so much better with age, this motherhood stuff. |

I could have sworn I'd replied to this, but I've looked up and down the list five times now and apparently I haven't. Love the title and every word after. This is a powerful write. Very good... Always, Alyssa He was a man of sorrows |
