It’s a cold wind that blows today and feet bedecked in woolen socks remain as icicles. Shoots so the pain of such through calves, knees, into hip and settles there inside a reminder of the times. Sad and weary are the times when heart remains outside there to shiver, tremble, shake, the loneliness around like leaves from yonder tree flying haphazardly in this contemporary air. And with the march of time who doesn’t slip and slide in tandem and in tune with the seasons of a life bringing forth the brambles, thorns, before and also after a forever love? Through the mist of one who fears there on the wall a picture or a statue carved in stone upright, forthright, bold, as a woman’s known to be and I wonder, is it me? But mine is the face of fear and she my mystic twin bringing forth the brambles, thorns, and cold into my bones for reasons unbeknown and for how long I can’t say. It’s a cold wind that blows today and tomorrow I may pray – yes, tomorrow when it’s too late, too late to save my soul! |

"Through the mist of one who fears there on the wall a picture or a statue carved in stone upright, forthright, bold, as a woman’s known to be and I wonder, is it me?" Dear Helen...because you are very special, you see not only what is light, but what hides in the dark.  |

Thank you, Martie, for the read. Yes, many things hide in the dark - too many to know and understand. Shadows - yes, there are shadows. |

Thanks Midnitesun. At the end of the day we're only left with the scars ... and scars only hurt the ego. |
