On the lonely road to happiness run leprechauns and ghouls and these creatures numbered many unstructured in their quest stray in and out of magic like a woman still in love dreams and then awakes. In and out and round about from here to there somewhere letting go and grabbing hold; are they growing old? Another step towards the goal and, lo, the mother moans, “Is it my fault you’re so slow?” Hands on hips she waits but no sign of life from the ghoul of denial testing mettle in the bramble along the wayside. Leprechauns and ghouls – ah-ha, a mother knows a ghoul is only soul and a leprechaun the casing called here flesh and bone growing old on the road to promised happiness. In and out of magic and there is no release for the tears a mother weeps on the other side! Helen / 25 August 2005 |

In and out of magic and there is no release for the tears a mother weeps on the other side! I think I understand the other side you write of. They seem so lost to me, and yes, I try so hard to hold back my tears, but often I still weep. So good to read your writing, Helen dear~ |

Wow, Bluesy! I don't beieve it - I was just thinking of you this morning and wondering as to your welfare and the welfare of your muse. I do hope you are well. Thanks for the read. I'm not too sure what this one is about myself but I trust my instincts. |

 Me too, Jo, for that second read, that is, because I'm not the mother I speak of. My sons aren't "slow" - I sometimes wish they were though then I can catch up with them. |

"Leprechauns and ghouls – ah-ha, a mother knows a ghoul is only soul and a leprechaun the casing called here flesh and bone growing old on the road to promised happiness." ~ This read well and I enjoyed the images and feelings I received by reading it. "If this grand panaorama before me is what you call God... then God is not dead." |
