anybody inspired by this unusual picture with a history?
It’s been a while
since I’ve thought of you
And I remember..
the time I fell in love with you
So if you feel a breeze
you may believe,
it’s me
and if a tune comes to mind
you may know
the voice
is mine
There’s something I never told you
there was a place
I once discovered when…
I’d think of you
Sat amid teardrops on the grass
by a hidden river
beneath that tree reaching …
to embrace the nearby river
I’d seen a tear in your eye
for the crying nature
I’d found us
in a hereafter
I’m now bones
just like you’d said …I always was
playing to the dark
just like you’d said …I’d always play
but beyond, now lies that place
I’d discovered
thinking of you
I know I‘d promised you
that there were places I’d take you
I know I broke my promises
to you
And so, still playing to the dark
I now wait
for you
if on this side
you ever wish to…maybe…
see this place too
I especially like that and the thought of waiting for a past love
I sometimes feel this with family who have left this world,
that they are in a breeze, a sound, a smell.
Thanks very much I enjoyed.
Darkness, my comfort
I speak here again
in a dream I saw it all
it has grown
and fills my thought
In Silence.
I moved across the grass alone
through the trees and dappled sun.
I turned my face to feel the warmth
closed my eyes from the light
to bring the darkness
And feel Silence.
In the darkness is where I saw
the tears of many not alone
eyes open but not seeing
arms reaching but not embracing
words written never spoken
Lost without Silence.
"'Here can you not see?'
This Silence grows in side of me
take my darkness and you will know
feel my arms to hold you dear
see my words and hear the call
It is here in Silence.
And you have come but not to pray
though the answer may be there
you will find it in the darkness
you will find it in a dream
Of Silence.
Pandora, going back a few pages I just came across this, and I love the way you signify the darkness, and how you find relief in it.. I've always been attracted to a dark setting.. makes me feel comfort... and it's funny how you also talk about reaching and embracing... amazing...

I'm glad you liked what I wote... thanks
Thank you, I find comfort in the dark because I find my dreams there, awake or asleep.
Dreams connect me to where I am going. That is comforting to me.
I always like what you write, we all do you have great talent and we are lucky to have you here with us.
This can be said about so many here, it is a privilege. As I've mentioned it must be the PJ gene
My prized possession I have brought today
fits in the palm of my hand.
Although small it makes really big things happen
in really huge spaces.
It is lightweight and colorful,
comes in many different colors,
and was invented thousands of years ago.
It is priceless to me
yet costs but a fraction of a dollar.
With this possession, when used just right,
millions of hearts are touched.
Joy, love, sadness, anger, admiration,
untold emotion is felt.
When I lay my eyes on it
beautiful memories come to mind,
that hold me and bring me close to tears.
Here in my hand,
I know how very special it is
just because it is,
because of where it has been.
You see, my prized possession belonged to a man
that I prize above most others.
And it was given to me with a point of his finger
and a toss in the air all hallows eve.
I show you now my prized possession
that I hold above all others.
It is my precious Eddie Vedder guitar pick,
my priceless possession, my forever gift,
and sorry no, you may not touch it!!
that brought tears to my eyes and a swelling to my soul (and a lump in my throat)
i know just how you feel pandi
how lucky you are to have that special special gift from ed and i love how the words describing the pick
could also describe ed...small but makes things happen in big big ways
love it
peace,
jo
and I love the way your mind works, thank you Jo
there's a word for it...you know what i mean
peace,
jo

Even when the butterflies
reached us on the breeze
Even though
I thought I was a man
Even though the sun
was on our backs
Even though the summer saw our youth
I never could pitch a tent
Even though
I barely even knew you
Even though I knew I'd always love you
Even then I didn't know what
Shadows you would bring me
Even though
I knew
I'd trade it all to reach you
You know
I would trade it all again
Even then
I never could pitch a tent
Even though
the canvas nearly smothers you
I know you'll always rather
Curl around a pole
Than risk right out & reaching
For a young man,
another yearning soul
Even now
It will always be forever
Although
always yesterday
Even now
You know right now for certain
I will always hear the rain

hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
Fearing what is ahead
I am wounded in this day
and paralyzed with the past.
In his grey eyes
a lifetime of mistakes I've made
stare back at me,
unrepairable.
I wear his words
on a face of failure,
he wears them as his armor
and strikes to defend the need.
My regrets are his loss,
the things we can not change.
All that he is, all that I was,
now make us who we are today.
The demons drown our love
and burn the hope we share,
leaving us defeated strangers
holding in everlasting promise.
We have this lifetime bond
however long it is.
And the demons will not survive
when we journey on.
Together we will find our souls
learning and loving again.
For we are blood, and blood is one,
then forever free in our union.
"for we are blood, and blood is one,
then forever free in our union."
amazing

sad
but uplifting

that really held me, very creative.
I love
"she wanders through their gardens picking flowers and planting weeds."
and
"she hears babies cry and the wolves howl and she feels as if she is home"
I really love it all! very cool, it does suit the pic,
thanks for posting
both the pics are heartbreaking, my heart is compromised today.
I will write though when I'm not so bleak, I'm tired of crying today
Life on a chain...stay away
the pain in a child's eyes
very good pics, very good themes for expression
thanks Jo
aww pandi i hope that you can see the lighter side of life before too long.
i know you've been in pain...if only there was anything to do to help.

Satisfied
No more lies,
no more lines.
No more hurting
and no excuse.
Nothing to use,
the running is done.
No way out
the truth has come.
I have broken free,
new has a hold of me.
I can say I'm sorry
'see inside of me'.
I am healed,
I can sleep.
I am no one's rival..
take the best of me.
Jealousy,
can not survive
when in your heart
there is trust and peace.
very firm, very potent
