Premium Member Losing my pink glasses
I misplaced my pink glasses, I had put them on a shelf. Had the fey come along and taken them – a faerie or an elf? I looked all over, getting frustrated up to a ten or an eleven. My husband said, “look up, as if you are looking to heaven.” I looked up and up and up and...

Songs of Wababu
The thought of losing you has left me insane. The idea of you not being in my life has made me weak. I know distance and time has blocked us, but not at one time have I not thought of you. I love you....

I survived even after losing
I survived even after losing' I was that girl, who was afraid of questions, But life taught me to become the answer. In the house where voices were suppressed, There I made my identity with silence. I broke down, but did not fall apart, She embraced every pain, but did not complain to anyone. When my own people trampled my hopes, I bowed...

Premium Member Losing the glow
I wander where the afternoons were so warm and golden and wonder why pleasant woods and beautiful lakes desert me leaving just trees and water I wander where the orange sunset painted the purple sky and wonder why The awe at the light show leaves my heart I become colorblind to nature's art. I go inside to where the parlor was full of happy...

Fear of Losing You
In the stillness of the night, I find, A haunting fear that clouds my mind. What if the day should come too soon, When fate decides to change its tune? Your laughter, like a melody, The anchor to my sanity. Yet shadows loom, and whispers creep, Invading dreams when I should sleep. I clutch your hand, so warm and strong, Afraid that life might...

Premium Member Hey, Grace, have you seen my face
Hey, Grace. Would you happen to know where I last left my face? Did I leave it in your lap, after taking that quick nap? Or, perhaps, after that embrace ~ in your narrow crawlspace? No? Haven't seen it? Oh, crap! ...

On Losing Loved One Self-Reassessment
Close your eyes, it's all about you The pain of losing a loved one is beyond words Many responsibilities upon your shoulders Hope and courage you'll have to share To those loved ones whose heart need consoling Need to have a heart of steel to outdone weakness Paint smile to others to show encouragement Whose cynosure eyes tend to show some mercy There's...
