Disaster I hate you a little, love you a little and you might be gone but you are still a part of me rubble, dreams lost, fall to rubble I held you in secret maybe all I held was a dream something so unobtainable honestly, I wish I could forget for knowing you has left me more than just a little weak pretending I was the solid one (could you not see how fragile) I was shaken- you did that to me I spoke in uncensored compromise pieces now spread from here to there and if I wasn’t the one, why oh why why did you keep coming back for more building me up on hope where possibility was all I held I am weary from a winded path stringing words I thought would bring you here to me and today tree tops tickle the sky and birds still float above grounded I wonder if you still fly I had ridden out a storm with you how safe I was with you by me the fine spray under the bridge could never bring one moment of fear for you can’t be lost when you can touch your true north you never even said you loved me yet, you had ask me if I loved you I said no, but you knew better I should have said yes but your words were needful things now everything is gone destroyed, truth is … it is the little things that break you I have gone on and I am on a leveled field now and the beach now finds me counting every grain of sand on tear drops hidden in the rain lost and the again calm wind for me just sings your name carried on notes echoing an aching heart trying just to get back north and letting go might rescue me just some words cut out from the diary of my heart [This message has been edited by 1slick_lady (09-09-2005 10:30 AM).] |

I have gone on and I am on a leveled field now and the beach now finds me counting every grain of sand on tear drops hidden in the rain lost and the again calm wind for me just sings your name carried on notes echoing an aching heart trying just to get back north and letting go might rescue me carried on notes like a replay, over and over again in the mind's eye hugs to you for a lovely dipiction of heartfelt loss... |

you never even said you loved me yet, you had ask me if I loved you I said no, but you knew better I should have said yes but your words were needful things *nodding here* Well done Helen. Hugs, Chris Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance. |

"the fine spray under the bridge could never bring one moment of fear for you can’t be lost when you can touch your true north" I loved this write, especially this line...it's a heartbeat that is heard loud and clear. Hugs to you, Helen. Hope all is well with you. AND THANK YOU so much for calling Thomas and letting him know we are concerned and are here for him. I cannot imagine what he is going through right now. Did he say whether or not he was one of the many officers who has lost a home? |
