I once feared life’s destination . . .
young and wisely unwise. . .
fearless and foolish were my days. . .
recklessly exploring the depth of my being. . .
♠
revealing the mystery of me. . .
until I learned who I wasn’t . . .
believing in hope. . .
until . . .
hope became hopeless. . .
and death grows in my lung. . .
♠
I fear not. . .
my days are empty. . .
my nights crowed with dreams. . .
there is nothing left to do. . .
but welcome my destination . . .
♠
I thought I was special, unique. . .
I am who I am. . .
no greater no lesser. . .
just equal to you. . .
and to all that breath. . .
♠
I am a part that fits . . .
to keep this universe together. . .
one of the reason the sun rises. . .
and sets on the living. . .
for another tomorrow . . .
until a replacement takes over. . .

Thanks for visiting come back tomorrow and read my new post Chatter
I read this carefully because it might be anyone of us, I have reblogged it on my Tumblr
Thank you. Yes we all can face difficult changes throughout our lives especially as we age and our health and body starts failing us.
Poignant and full of great wisdom….
Thank you much.
Reblogged this on Art by Rob Goldstein.
Thanks again for the reblog.
Pain and beauty. Most people don’t understand that they are often inextricable.
True some people are angry and won’t allow happiness in. Thank you for re-blogging and tweeting. I really appreciate it. I was off line all day. Just gotbhome.
It’s easy to get lost in pain and frustration. Blogging is a great antidote to the isolation that sometimes comes with a chronic illness.
True. I feel less alone when blogging and some times I feel I’m revealing too much but I’m leaving a history piece of me that might touch other lives. My children might read it after I’m gone and learn something about me.
The shaman strips to her essence, takes on the pain and uses it to heal. I think some writers are wounded healers.
I like that. Sounds mystical and spiritual.
I really love your poetry.
Thank you very much,
Your writing is as wise as you are, and you show that as we go through life we have a choice, to close our eyes to truth or to learn from it. You have done the latter, this is why you see now what you may not have seen then. I admire that because I see a lot of people who close their eyes and refuse to grow, I don’t know why but they think getting older should be more about having fun than being enlightened. I get the need to have fun but enlightenment means you do not regret ageing, you embrace it. I think you do that my friend.
If my body cooperated I would be out having fun. 😉😎
Heck if the discos were like those in the seventies I’d never be home ! 😉
Lol
Return.
Remain.
Release.
Relax.
Thanks for holding me back. 😄
What are friends for?
Maybe that is profound resignation. I would that it were not so
Feeling GSM that come and go.
GSM?
Auto correct. Feelings come and go. I don’t know where my tablet get these auto corrects from.
Thanks
I am so sorry for your troubles, Kim. There is not one person who could replace you, so I am counting on positive results BIG TIME. Hugs and prayers to you.
Thank you Lesley that is such a sweet thing to say. 😚😚😚
