The August winds gather way over there planning and plotting to clear the air for seasons decree yet another review of love and it’s reason for being. But in the midst of this gathering one stands with a heart of gold too hard to be chipped or swayed by forces dismissive and flippant ~ and the majority rise up angry, too angry to be amenable, and the world erupts into chaos. Such is the way of these August days that decide the future for my offspring and theirs and theirs in thought waiting for a chance to become physical. I’m angry today because I cannot say what the force of no love can do but I wait as one overpowered until like a leaf off an old Oak tree I become as if I was not! Helen / 15 August 2006 |

"I’m angry today because I cannot say what the force of no love can do but I wait as one overpowered until like a leaf off an old Oak tree I become as if I was not!" Me, too, Helen....why is it so hard to love. Makes me ponder if it is easier to hate.....and that just doesn't equate....gosh. I guess it has to do with that little word, "forgiveness." The world sure could use some of that, my friend. *hugs*.....jo |

I'm thinking recent events might have inspired this.... but my dear poetess...know this, they can take our land, our loved ones, our children, fathers, mothers, husbands, wives...dignity, but they cannot and will not, ever take our minds...our souls and all the love we have known...and maybe dear heart, that is what memory is for... heartbreaking poem all to real, and yet, done with excellence.  |
