She knows the complexities
and embraces this duality

the need for balance
between  mind and spirit;

body and soul...

       to feel complete
          and be in control

to have all inner
inhibitions released  
a soul contending

in eternal quest of peace....  

She listens to my voice  
and hears my plea;

I am not her
       she is not me


          but still,
                  she knows me......

She is there

somewhere

yet remains
beyond my gaze
and she too,
has run this race
through this maze

of life.

I’ve shared her pain
along with her fears
her heart in unison    beating
I hear


I have been her
     and she
has been me…


We have stood wishing upon
the  very same star

wanting,      and wondering
of places afar

remembering journeys
through the black of night ,  
recalling paths taken

beseeching the light

bringing us
to where we now are

She has fought those battles,
and has healed the same scars

we are individual,            yet similar
held in the common bond
of striving, and surviving

           we are strong

I am her
and she is me.........


a woman       understanding

unequivocally....




{I wanna cry like the rain
Cry like the rain
Shine like the sun on a beautiful mornin'
Sing to the heavens like a church bell ringin'
Fight with the devil and go down swingin'
Fly like a bird
Roll like a stone
Love like I aint afraid to be alone
Take everything that this world has to give
I wanna take any breath I can get
I wanna live
} Josh Gracin

Gentle Donna I do know you
and have been so grateful for that pleasure. We shall talk soon, yes?

And, this is one of your finest dear girl.

You've out done yourself on this one Donna.

Wonderfully written!
