The It Within It's the wearing down of life a portfolio secured to weather the perfection of the loneliness insured. Some say it is a time of new... but to me it's the other one where knowing should have echoed out when "it" had just begun. Those stepping stones on river's cross where a tumble would have been, blocked instead, has left the dread of prints now living in. I blame myself for kind of heart, believing, future's view but now have learned the lessons of "that smiles sometimes miscue." Sometimes a door reopens, sometimes cliches are gifts. But for the now, I stay the course to face this present shift. In the silence that surrounds me some memories are on the dim. Moments that were layered gold have lost their glittered trim. Here again the words once lost regain their edged appeal. Needing out from deep within, my "It" allowing feel. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

This 'write' once again (to me) is fine 'relationship dejavu' (a slice of the 'every-person' life)....what most (all?) of us have (unfortunately) experienced. especially: "I blame myself for kind of heart, believing, future's view but now have learned the lessons of "that smiles sometimes miscue." Sometimes a door reopens, sometimes cliches are gifts. But for the now, I stay the course to face this present shift. In the silence that surrounds me some memories are on the dim. Moments that were layered gold have lost their glittered trim." ....precisely why I choose to be a 'NOW-ist'!...the past is (obviously) irrevocable; the future powerless to be born; all we really have is the 'Now'... the clay of grand and sparklin' 'present potentialites' to work with! |

Roniece Dawson-Bruce,passing shadows, Interloper,trutodaraiders,Enchantress, Nightshade,thank you for taking the time to read and respond. Sometimes you have to wipe the slate clean and realize what seemed to be never was or maybe still isn't...if you know what I mean. I try to be honest in my life, at least with my feelings, so if any of this touched you then I am thankful for a bit of "knowing" ...
