It's hard to look behind you while wearing plate mail

Folder: 
Étouffée

I never imagined how connected
and intertwined my soul would become
when I embarked on this journey.
Very few things have given me pause,
or made me turn from my course,
but had I known how easily my
walls would be scaled after so long,
how defenseless I was when

facing someone who wasn't against me,
I might have never crossed your bridge.

Haha! I absolutely ADORE this

Haha! I absolutely love ethis piece! Looking behind you with chain mail the armour stifling your view of how far you've come! I might never have crossed your bridge! Just riddles the brain with so many analogies and visions, bridge to tarabithia, the bridge over troubled waters, the the bridge between earth and heaven, the bridfrom over a great chasm... A warrior nrave fighting for what they believe in after losing hope for the millionth time. battle wearyness fallen away, open to a spring in your step. A very rich and emotional write one of my absolute faves! I am in awe of that wise and clever mind! I just incredible! Hugss 


Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS    

"Well, it's love, but not as we know it."

Ssmoothie! I love you! I

Ssmoothie! I love you! I thought this was just a make up poem that made her smile & I hadn't written anything I liked lately, so I posted it. Although i can never do her justice, I guess that's what comes from having amazing inspiration! ;-)

Yes sir indeed! I love it

Yes sir indeed! I love it when you don't try so hard there's an ethereal quality about it I adore, but having said that I adore the carefully crafted labours of love just as much in a different way! The human mind ans spirit is an awe inspiring thing indeed! Hugss and love :D

Very Few Things Have Given Me Pause

Id walk through a desert to find a line like that one...truth, what you think is just okay, others will find a gem inside and wear it like a healing stone. The shock of the moment (pause) the find unexpected (pause) a blessing disguised and almost missed (pause). Love the progression and the joy at the end ~~A~~
