She Is, Or Maybe She Is Not

She found herself In the shards of who I am The broken bits The shadows The resurrection of yesterday's pauses I wonder Was it the happy bits The quiet contemplations Or does she exist Within the doubts The abbreviated sentences The opinions of her own imposters Those who choose to see her with veiled perceptions Is she who she wants to be Or is she in a state of becoming I try to see past my own limitations I wade through my wheres Trying to see where Where she has been Where is she now Why Yes I wonder why Why does she identify with me I am left to ponder Contemplate Who is this woman With sad happy eyes Strong in a broken sorta way Who visits me On glowing paper Graces me with kindness Chooses to ponder herself Within my spaces I will seek her out For she too Reveals Her notes Sings her spirit On pure white Glowing Paper Dedicated to Charmaine after she commented on my "I Am" poem.

Richard, This piece was so incredibly tender. A picture equating to the feeling of such adoration as loves fingers brushing back the hair, then cradling their head, bringing it to rest upon their chest. Simply beautiful!

An amazing dedication. You see beyond the words to the inner self holding the pen and shine the light. I saw your comment that you were looking for a new poem from me. I felt bad that you left empty handed (or should I say empty worded?) so I posted something.

First, I had to read your " I Am ..." poem, dear Richard, for to be able to correctly judge this one! That much depth, knowledge and beauty was I not prepared to find in both poems! In awe I remain, exclaiming: MARVELOUS! Marvelous also for the person it is dedicated to for she is a lady of the most tender and kind nature that matches yours in many ways! Congratulations my friend, please accept my humble seven as a token of my appreciation to this jewel of a writing!

This is another beauty that you have written. It is not surprising to me that this was inspired by one as sweet and caring as our Charma. Soupmail.

One time I am what I want to be,Other times who I am expected to be~Your line went something like that..It hit deep when I read it cause I do.find myself in such situation oftenly.Its as if some people and even faith have many expectations,Sometimes I fulfill them,other times ..I am who I want to be.I do exist within the doubts.Where I has been?To heaven and hell.Distant from God yet so close.Where I am?A happy mother living in th dream of my child..living for my girl..forgettin my own world,knowing this love is so worthwile for a child.Richard ,I thankyou deeply for such a beauty.Touched again..Going to my favs : )Charma
