Reflections I listen to the tired in your voice trying not to match, though it's there "the tired", that is... but not wanting to add to the length of worries. Keeping it in, singing to myself of better times in this quilted life that savors even the bad, for one to enjoy the good. It brings the little things to mind, those that when I close my eyes can bring me a smile, warming my heart even if only for a moment. I can love in many ways, many degrees for more than one, and even those of the lesser degrees will always be in my favor for the gifts of pleasure and growth they have given me. I can now be alone with these thoughts that surround me in picture and poetry and prose. And can step back from that edge that was so tempting, once. I can see beauty in most things, my sight renewed by the warmth that youth has to offer and even if that road not taken stays in the distance, I will breathe in every day as if it may be my last. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

I am still looking in the mirror, in knowing this has influenced me without knowing it a poet who cares |

Me thinks, M, that you have always seen beauty, and are beauty. Hugs. |
