She knows the complexities and embraces this duality the need for balance between mind and spirit; body and soul... to feel complete and be in control to have all inner inhibitions released a soul contending in eternal quest of peace.... She listens to my voice and hears my plea; I am not her she is not me but still, she knows me...... She is there somewhere yet remains beyond my gaze and she too, has run this race through this maze of life. I’ve shared her pain along with her fears her heart in unison beating I hear I have been her and she has been me… We have stood wishing upon the very same star wanting, and wondering of places afar remembering journeys through the black of night , recalling paths taken beseeching the light bringing us to where we now are She has fought those battles, and has healed the same scars we are individual, yet similar held in the common bond of striving, and surviving we are strong I am her and she is me......... a woman understanding unequivocally.... {dedicated to all of my sisters through word and heart} I really want to care, I want to feel something, let me dig a little deeper nah, still nothing~ my give a DAMN is busted.

A very special time, when we loose our own threads, and encompany the woof and weave of others' thoughts... it is a special time in anyone's life...when we acknowledge that another had stood in similar shoes... this is...a mile stone of stored thought that has been building for some time, little one... and for this? I applaud you on all of your accomplishments! Now... print this, and store it away, so that your daughter might, someday, find it, and say, "Yes... this IS my mother!!!" Love, the other Mom |

Donna? see? I knew it needed nothing but you. Oh, I know her so very well, too kinda like the sqeaky rusted tinge of hamster caged wheel turning, tumbling - little feet grabbing the darkness, hindsight blinded by the light sleeping, sleeping, curled into a ball infantile in its slumber resting for the dusk and fall of dark . . . *tipping my hat to you* and smiling . . . |

Suzie? And I know, how she would fall into a night of darkness, one that would not make her grip tightly its edges with fear or cause her to shed a single tear but would surround her in shimmering swirls of peace and allow the demons to be released.. I know her... |

She smiles at me through my own eyes, bearing the burden of womanhood while simultaneously attempting to stifle the laughter of child. I know her well. She is soulink. Scrawled upon hearts. Regurgitated at dawn, digested by nightfall, recycling herself every single second of eternity. -------------------------------------- Your welcome. Love you too, Donna |
