Spirit
The seat of emotions and character; the soul
Did you hear it speak to you once
Delivered through my eyes, breathing love in to your own
Were you aware the extension was scary, did you know my heart trembled in fear
Vulnerability, not something I was fed from birth
Shame and anger more often near
Did you notice when I was brave and took a path I did not know
Was my warmth and sincerity felt
My thoughts and feelings; special should always be respected in truth and care
Did it make you feel as though you’d never stand alone
I walk away gently and with clarity as I close the door
The only sadness I carry with me is the cost I had to pay
I seemingly have lost my spirit
In the most unfortunate way

I am not certain, I could be just blowing smoke up my own hind-end, but it truly seems as if you have reached a peak and it’s higher than it was once before. Peace to you, Alisa. I felt connected to this, the way you have written it. Solid writing, here.

Thank you, Tre. It means a lot to me reading this. I like how you say I have reached a peak, that expresses well how I was feeling writing it. So I guess the answer is you aren’t blowing smoke up your own hind-end;)

Alisa, I love this as well as the kindred themed picture. The basement stairs, with light showing through the door window revealing what I cannot have. Keith
