I have read them all
in their entirety,
Wondered about the two paths
that diverged into one

...then I read me...

I have gazed at the chapel wall
in awe of the inspiring colors
that dripped from the brush of
Michael Angelo

...and I, my colors so abstract...

I have listened to Dillon sing
-about women,
and how
they break like little girls

Greater still
the woman in me,
and the girl that is gone

I have studied Gibran
and the flow of his thoughts
lost myself in his shadow

...and I realize...

I am not just one medium,
my canvas was created with them all

I am a masterpeice, an illusion
of my own experienced destruction

It's funny now that I can't remember the pain that it took to find happiness...

Powerful ponderings.
And I agree with your conclusions.
We are that!

Love,

I like your words but in fairness to Dillon
it wasn't
"they break like little girls"

it was
if my memory serves me
"and she breaks down like a little girl"

I looked on several lyrics sites for Bob Dylan, they all say "she breaks just like a little girl"

I loved this read.  Absolute beauty.  I can see that you have many facets to the masterpiece that is your personality.  I'm glad that you shared a few of them with us.

In its original text from the album "Compilation, Bob Dylans Greatest Hits,1967"

"Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That Baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls.
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl."

Got technical and all, and forgot to say.... the name Dillon is spelled wrong, but... because a friend got me to listening to him years ago, and it wasnt until I bought an album from the record store that I realized that I had spelled his name wrong.  This poem was written before I knew the correct spelling....

And?

Thank you all for the kind replies... and nice to see ya Dixie Girl.....
