How could anyone
ever, not smile
when having a special
friend like you
who embraces the rain
while chasing away the blues...

who sees so cleary
with unmasked eyes

little wings fluttering
with heart of gold..
through the skies...

who also can make the world
disapear
if only for a little while...

with a friend like you
how could anyone
ever, not smile?




strange how a laugh looks like crying without the tears {queensryche}

brings a smile

Strength should not be balanced
by how powerful one is.

Moreso by the weight
of the heart ~
as it drifts
like snowflakes.

Awaiting open mouths
of children, unconscious
of the malignancy of mankind.

~ ~ ~

Weight should not be measured
simply by a scale.

The load you bear
traveling, barefoot ~
bundles upon your head
balanced just so.

Bleeding feet
along rocky stonecrop,
to your destination ~
is not a learned talent, rather inherent.

~ ~ ~

Loads ARE measured
by how weighty they are.

The strength needed
to carry them,
can be quite intense
while lifting and bending.

The bitter wind
sweeping hair about your face,
while patting yourself
on your own back, IS reality.

~ ~ ~

Everything SHOULD be symmetric.

The power applied
to exert the strength
essential to lift
the weight of the load ~

does not measure
the capacity
or sensitivity
of the heart.

Thank you Donna, now I know you done gone crazee on me here . . .

I am but a shoulder.  

I am much honored and will make you smile
or try to
anytime I can.

It's all any of us would do.

And man, I am a pain in the (badword) ???

Can you define this please?

Thank you, all, I need to go finish digging out from the storm, but will be back to respond to you each soon.  Hugs and have a great day people.

I am so appreciative of each of your responses, and that you take the time to be here and read and help me honour such a lovely person..

who truly does bring smiles to these pages of blue.


Kari, yes indeedy she does,
thank you for stopping in momma K.  

Startime, your replies always feel like a warm blanket on a cold day, thank you much.  

LeeJ, thank you sweetie, and hugs to you.
Yes, her reply blew me away.

Nancy, YES, that is such a lovely reply
from a lovely soul, how could anyone NOT smile.

Chris, huggin you right back dear friend.

Raph, she is truly special yes??!!


Suzie, for you

~~~
The heart is where
emotion and need
mix in equal measure
with desire to obtain
balance of self
in some sort
of symmetry

while distributing each facet
separately
to be maintained
in it's own space
and place
in time



until
rocky roads
lead to polished surfaces

where each part
can be divided
with certainty
not either to the left
    or right

but to where need falls
the greatest

to support the weight
of life.

~~~

Pristine thoughts
are sustained
gaining strength
to carry on
the continual struggle

for balance
while maintaining
secure foothold

and sensitivity
of the heart.


______________________________________________

DejaEntendu, special friend are hard to come by
I am glad she is here in these pages of blue.

Ahh Gemma, you are so sweet and make me misty
with your reply....thank you.

K? thanks hon...it is good she has love and smiles
for all her friends yes?

Again, I thank you all.
