I set atop a precipice not saying a word..
just watching...
all things flew..
sometimes violently.
Moments contradicted themselves.
*
In that time-frame,
becoming apart of the storm,
was the chosen method of....,
abstraction..??
it was the easy way out.
of what?
life I guess;
life;
the way it was...
~
Under camouflage a moth stays hidden.
Once the gaze turns inward,
the moth awakens..
reflecting the glimmers that call it to the surface.
And cries that never knew they were suppose to be,
are feathered away........

huh, well not the begining of a memoir Jerr, but it could have been added to the chapters in the 'wahe guru' deal.
anyhow, you never know what we might decide to write as writers. maybe I guess, you never know.
But yes you should share again and you will. no hurry, I think were all taking a little beak here lol ;=)
but when you do please let me know because I don't recieve the email alerts like other poeple do. I don't know why but I jsut never did.
hugs and smiles back atcha *^_^*
Just like you said, a moment of reflection that started a change. Nice work.

yup indeed, thankyou scott.
hope your weekend is going well.
Wow...I haven't been here a while. This is so lovely, and brings me back to what I've been missing for so long. :] I love the image that this conveys, the peace that one isn't lonely in the world even if one is alone.

the 'world' in general are too busy, and like it that way.
when they do experience glimpses which are usually for most only moments suspended in time, they ignore and quickly return to thier 'normal' or habitual way
thanks sonny, hope al is well

oooooooohhhhhhh Katie! This demonstrates in words just the place I have been. Introspection, obtacles, hiding, challenges and changes..... in short responses to HUGE grieving state.
And all the time I neveer realised as I was running in the opposite direction.
wonderful words, wonderful
huge blessings and reiki love and rainbows

^_^ thankyou my Vee ^_^
I think in times like these, it may be easier to set out of picture so it doesn't swallow you ?
hmmm
well, I didn't have the resources or growth then as now.
the growth had to come through loss.
Just beautiful. I really love the resolution in the last line, "And cries that never knew they were suppose to be, are feathered away........"

Ahh thanks, and in the audio I forgot the two words 'knew' and 'they'
makes a difference, but who knows if I'll ever fix it ;-)
This is so deep and very well done indeed. It takes a long time to be able to describe inner thoughts so clearly. In your case, You've really done that. Good job. On a side note, I have one called Red Wing Epilogue I've just posted, and it has "O" in it. HA HA. You might like it. Good job Air.

Mon, June 8th, 2009 4:52pmthis is mostly a take on me watching me at a distructive point in time. even though I had lost myself, I feel I was actually outside myself during that time as well.
And then there is the awakening
