To Be Back Home My stomach still burns and churns though I've long departed ways from the spirits I needed for living. What was life without the alcohol haze? I know how I stopped no more than I know how I began, the only answer provided me is that it was in God's plan. And she was a different person who I'll never meet again, gone but not forgotten, for there is destruction where she'd been. And now this is me, I'm here today with all my lessons that were hard to learn, considering that I should be dead, though my gut will always burn and churn with all the things I've done and said... I am grateful to be back home. |

I needed some inspiration so I borrowed a line: Gone but not forgotten returned in kind Days left over dried pasta upon a dirty plate Another day, a weak gone bye where was sweet, that love to hold Thoughts and diversions the tide having gone out Heaven, was that for death tranquillity yours to share A heart made distant to living words exchanged upon the wind Again, forever, nothing lost her beauty was divinity Perhaps there was love to remind oneself life was alive all I need is a title, and a psalm/poem was born a poet who cares |

It is so good to see your words when I come in here. I'm glad you're home, DixieGirl. It's funny -- I look back at 20 years ago, and I know excatly what you mean. There is no going back to that person.  ....jo |

Oh, the things our prodigal hearts convince us we need! It can sure make the green green grass of home look good, if once we can just find the steps back again.  Klassy |
