When the tired gets the best of me
and I begin to wonder who I am,
why I exist and to whose benefit

When the feelings float by uncatchable
in air of disregard and the reflections
age the look

I ask myself why

Why that full moon of yesterday
no longer holds the promise

Why I am mind trapped
in a reality of loneliness

Why words have lost their meaning
and letting go changes nothing

And the only rest I get is in
the hands of time.

"Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less."

Wishing you the merriest of the Merry Christmas~

There was a time, you must believe
My life was dark. I couldn't conceive
Of loss of job and marriage too.
I found myself what's known as blue.

I sought to know the answer now!
To soothe these blues someway, somehow.
Alas, my pique found this refrain.
In time, in time, you'll ease the strain.

I like your instrospective thinking about the whys of our lives.  Nice writing.
Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

There is the exhaustion our bodies experience... and the depletion of our spirit that makes going on seem so impossible. Worse is the combination... a tiredness so bone-deep we can't fathom it ending... or survive its continuing.

To whose benefit? Mine, dear lady... I read your words and know I'm not alone.

Okay M, I have decided you need to spend New Years with me.  I am going out to dinner first then over to a friends boyfriends party.  He is renting a pole (the dancer kind) and watching what happens after people have a few drinks should be fun!  

People watching is always great fun.

I hope the cure for your lonely finds you soon.

Thank you Suthern.... I had a special visit on here yesterday...and she definitely picked me up.   I wish you had been able to visit in Florida with the rest of us.

Thank you
M

Well Susan, I think the closest I can get to the pole dancing is to join a new gym  only a mile away..maybe then I won't just come home from subbing, eat and go to bed exhausted..maybe the exercise other than bending to the little ones will give me the energy I need...besides I need to tighten up in places...

I am fine..just lonely  especially at holidays with family not near enough and without my sister who could always make me laugh and feel better about the world.

Wishing you a happy new year and the best to come...

M

I have asked these same questions. Haven't found the answer, yet.
