BETRAYAL IS A LONELY PLACE

BETRAYAL IS A LONELY PLACE  Betrayal is a lonely place A far away and hellish place A mutilated soul A heart numbed And alone No release from memory No peace do we see From misery and agony But Time comes by And soothes each day With Life’s ordinary things The spirit sings again somehow But sadly in a different way

Hope dear Anni will not be

Hope dear Anni will not be offended at me using her comment here? "One thing about the sadness, we all have it around something, I was liberated from it more when I learned to “give up” the sadness with out offering it home in me for long, rather than “fighting” it, which seems to seat it in the throne of your consciousness so firmly… I kind of embrace it, accept there is good reason for it (in honesty, sometimes I love it, it offers me LOTS of richness & insight), but if you don’t want it to hang around, I feel the trick is to “choose” it, not to fight it, & once chosen, you can give it up!--------- it helped so much for me." I don't know, only thought this might illuminate an alternative to brooding on things. Yours Annuccia

Own it...

J.B. Longo-Geremia ..make it yours; have control of it; speak it and then, let it go, this sadness of the soul, this "malinconia." But we are changed by it.
