I might as well be dead myself contagioning the blister's bleed and digging up the scraps of scrapes a fingernail of nudge and need as if the scab were all I screamed in an "oh" of underledge a fingernail beneath the beg edges and the hedge of trust peel away the best of us the underskin away from "heal" and ponder thin beneath the light as if we saw the past within as if the blood makes it alright-- picking at the scab we bleed and laugh the wound away... |

"a fingernail beneath the beg edges and the hedge of trust peel away the best of us" and it hurts so damn much.   "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

we may laugh the wound away, but does it really ever leave? Sometimes it does.... Sometimes no matter how we bandage it, it festers for years.... Well done |

Yes, I know that kind of pain that you so aptly described. And yes, we can hopefully laugh the wound away. But often there are scars that remain ~ and those we need to kiss away. Your write was raw and real ~ and ever so identifiable at times in my own life. You are a fine poetess ~ whether or not you are in your Serene mode!  Love & Light, Linda |

I have always pondered exactly why we exist in this microcosm we so haughtily refer to as "the World" as we know it, and have spent many nights wondering why One would put us through such trials. It seems quite cruel and selfish when thinking of the ideal that our pain, love, loss, happiness is experienced for another's experience. I have spent many nights with lost faith, I still do, in myself, this life, my beliefs, my place HERE and NOW and why things turn the way they do. I have cried many nights thinking much too hard. I came to the conclusion, as of late, after one terrible instance here and have decided that utter perfect happiness cannot be achieved here. It is not meant to be achieved here. This is the training class, the learning ground, flight school. And we are just beginning . . . My Lady . . .For all of those roads your weary feet have padded down. |

Serenity...Healing is a slow process but it does work sort of like the scab protecting the underneath of our hearts. Glad too read you again...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

"a fingernail beneath the beg edges and the hedge of trust peel away the best of us the underskin away from "heal" and ponder thin beneath the light as if we saw the past within as if the blood makes it alright-- picking at the scab we bleed and laugh the wound away..." This is an amazing piece of writing Karen. Even moreso when I consider how rare the ability to so precisely capture one's thoughts to word, while still reeling from the difference one day can make. I'm thinkin' about ya K. Be well...  |
