Limbo

The words I mean to say, the rhyme
as thoughts do insurrect, as to divine
the love I share, the courage that was mine
is often missing what the sense entwines.

If I do love you, sometimes hollow twine
is all my heart can muster up to line
and so the grace that heaven gives in sign
is muted by comparison, I find ~

And love tht once did merit grace in kind
now errors, as in limbo .  .  .  .  .  undefined!

Paula, I can relate to this feeling of being in "limbo." Love often brings us a mixture of other confusing emotions. Well expressed thoughts! Love, Carolyn
