Drawing
Sometimes we do not know
what is there, beyond the extreme edge
draw windows and imaginary light,
which may not be there
and in the drawn we live,
suffer, fall, crawl
but it is impossible to fully understand
where this edge of the end is
and is it worth looking at all,
thoughts are silly to draw
pictures of pitiful dreams,
with a tint of ice and black roses
their thorns are splitting and cruel
as our personal vices
forget, understand and realize,
why just suffer like that ...

Author's Note
This has been a very difficult year for me so far. My Mom's condition has gotten worse and so I am spending more time taking care of her in addition to my other obligations. There are so many wonderful people and great writers here I am sad knowing that I am missing a lot. Sorry for my lack of interaction so far this year. I miss you guys... :( X

Thank you so much for the kind words Rac. It is a very difficult time and although I know what to expect it only gets harder with time as things progress. I am definitely more scared now than ever before and that definitely occupies my mind.
Alas GPS is unable to guide us through life. There will always be the unsettled cipher of the abyss
no matter which direction is chosen for us. You understand me so well. xo

*sigh* I miss you. This poem is as beautiful as it is challenging, as tender as it is ruthless.

There's no magic pill for what you're going through. If there was I'd buy you a truck load. But there are the people who care about you here and like me I'm sure they are keeping you in their prayers Kx.
I'm here for ya ....

Thank you so much for your kindness PS. It would be so nice if there was a magic pill. I am at a loss for words to express how much the thoughts and prayers mean to me. Thank you so much for being there. xo

Will you ever stop looking for the edge? Your onus is both a blessing and a curse. Where you lead, I will follow [if just to watch your back].

No, I can never stop looking for the edge, regardless of what lies there and the dualistic nature... I really appreciate and love that you will follow, you can always watch my back. ;) I really appreciate your sentiment so much. Thank you so much for caring Shaman. xo

We don't know what the other side offers as our thoughts tinker on the edge...the whys and whos, the fairness of it all...our darkness doesn't allow us to see our true destiny, it hurts when we can't control the pain or the suffering... much love to you K xx

We must find out way through the darkness, sometimes walking along the edge as we try to find our destiny. It definitely hurts when we cannot control the pain and suffering; when we know that there is much more to come. Thank you so much for your love Tim. xo

Dear K,
Well this sucks! Not your poem, that’s great, but your situation. You and your mother are in my prayers. Unfortunately I don’t have any words that can assuage what’s happening. Only hugs and complete understanding as everything transitions itself. I think your poem wonderfully underscores the notion that life is a complete mystery sometimes and full of scary unknowns. You are not alone, unseen, there are many hands supporting you. X

Hi Kristina,
Sending you a big hug right now. This poem is a great interpretation of all that is unknown and scary.
Especially with our loved ones.
Nothing more scarier than that.
Hang in there:)

Hey there Adelphina, I really appreciate the big hug so much. Sometimes the known becomes even more scary than the unknown. :( Still there is so much that is unknown and scary too. When dealing with loved ones things can definitely be much more difficult. I am hanging in there. xo

Kristina, our hearts and thoughts are with you. We know that taken care of our most loved ones is very emotionally draining. Your dedication to her, making these sacrifices and being with her during this difficult time shows your true honest love.
You're both beautiful souls.
Blessings.

This is beautiful and makes me ache with resonance. I love the calm flow which is full of emotions, shadows of life experiences. This is the kind of poem I would make an audio for.

That's a possibility I suppose, it has been a while since I did an audio one. :) I really love your description; it speaks to me, my thoughts, my feelings. I like that we can share those feelings and you can ache with resonance with me. xo
