Quieted I traveled in thought, the distance too short to absorb the reality that sets us apart. I feel the darkness that consumes when your eyes rest upon mine making me wish I could be the comfort needed, but knowing I am only a temporary fill. How can one speak to that? Why can't you read my silence and understand the depth of feeling hidden there, wanting to be heard, felt, but quieted by the fear that it would only bring an end to the what if's... And I live for them, those what if's, dreaming them alive at night, pretending beyond today... seeking to bring you into my tomorrows... but often wondering if I could ever learn to let go~~~ (plzdntgo) M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less."

Letting go is sometimes hard to do. |

Your writing always touches my heart, M~. I have known eyes like that--so compelling, absorbing. Matter-of-fact, I found myself holding on much longer than was healthy for me, blinding me to other blessings. I wish you all the happiness. You write so well! miscellanea |

Those What Ifs are what keep us thinking we can, or it will.... I have walked that road, many times. |

A lot of truth in what Magnus says here! Without "What ifs?" where would discovery be? Again, let me say how I enjoy your writing and thinking. miscellanea |

Beautifully written. I know this feeling of tenuous balance on a slack rope---it's risky, it's uncomfortable, it's exhausting, but jumping off is a frightening option. Excellent! smiles, Constance |

This is a beautifully expressed emotion I can relate to. Very touching. True love never dies despite time and distance True love is forever in the eyes of the lover without resistance… JL  |

Maureen...Tender touching write. I often think of my " what If's ". thank goodness we have second chances and are able to say " I Did " sometime.Paul Loved these lines I feel the darkness that consumes when your eyes rest upon mine making me wish I could be the comfort needed, but knowing I am only a temporary fill. ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Sometimes we never let go, even though we're gone. I wonder if we ever do learn to do this well, and who dreams without the dreams of "what-if's"? I thought this was beautiful. Mike I went to the woods because I wanted to live life deliberately... |

Good. You write better when not just addressing yourself. John |
