Big Strong Man

There was a picture in my head, a fantasy I thought of this big strong man
Sweet but tough, someone who would understand
Who would open his arms and take me in
Biggest hug ever, not like other men
I said to God, please sometimes enough is enough
I need a respite from all that has been so rough
You have sent me feathers and friends and angels and more
Could I ask one more thing...someone I adore?
Someone who gets me and who is ready for this
A man who is kind and good who can share my deep down bliss
And then he was there. Picked almost as a mistake, a swipe to the right
We talked of life and pain and I saw his great might
I listened and everyone said I should be all okay alone
But I knew deep down I knew I wanted to have my mind completely blown
He stands so tall, big feet as a base
He holds out his arms and then touches my face
A little prayer from me, thank you God
He likes my silly jokes and does not mind that I am flawed
My heart shaped space has been waiting to be filled 
And with this man that believes in heaven, I am more than thrilled
Early days I know but hopes so high
I look forward to the future with a very content sigh
A calmness, a peace settling all over me

Of what love and fun lie ahead I cannot wait to see

It was such a stunning country, even from the plane. The sunflower faces beckoned, swaying slightly in the wind between the mountains and the most beautiful almost ocean sized lake I have ever seen. It was a whole new life, just beginning. Half of my life has been lived at this point and it was both scary and lovely to start over in a whole new world. We will come back to that start over part, little did I even suspect.There were so many things that struck me in this breathtaking place. I could write pages and pages (and may well do so) about the contrast between the giant United States and little tiny Switzerland. The Sw...

Eights and Circles

Bats and caves and really small spaces Hands to hold and smiles on faces Round and round in the grass we go Form a circle, no one says no Figure eights with our bodies, message for the soul For the child deep inside to play a role The frustration and fear are trumped by passion and awe Just listen to you heart and answer the call Ashes to ashes we all fall down Pick yourself up and spin round and round

What I didn't tell you

What I didn’t tell you is the friend I saw today is dying His family has abandoned him and I am his only friend He denies his pain to look strong until it hurts so much he lashes out at me He wants to die, he wants to live, he does not know which world to put his feet in I feel his pain, I think of myself, what if I was all alone and dying, wouldn’t I want a me? My other friends all four years new, tell me it is too much, step away, I need to be there for my kids What I didn’t tell you is that while I watch my friend, his legs sticking out from the gown, whittled like wood more and more each day, I am tortured by the man I loved I am watching nature destroy my friend while I am trying my best not to be destroyed by an unnatural human force, the father of my children What I didn’t tell you is that my children are no longer with me daily, their plans are made without me, I am not even considered as an afterthought, just sometimes a taxi ride I was successful a...
