If I am Losing ground

if the arms of a world
could reach out for me
I would get on my knees
to beg and to plea

if dreams were illusions
glimpsed from a car
I'd live every moment
as if its my last

if the highway of life
looped around to meet
I'd scream every moment
through the soles of my feet

if I didn't have time
to say what I feel
I'd put to the court
a writ no man could appeal

but all this is silliness
glimpsed from a mind
lost in the heartbreak
of losing all time

“May the road rise up to

“May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.” Irish Blessing. We're never as far away as we think we are... and yet we are further still on the same road. ~ Love ~ Mum

Dearest Mum

These where some drunken ramblings from a while back,and then last night I found it again ... forgot I wrote it to be honest ... I have not seen that blessing since my Nana was alive she had it on a plaque hanging above the doorway of her kitchen (huggles) thank you so much for the visit ... I dont know what the heck I was thinking when I wrote this love and hugs J

If you are losing ground...

It is because you have trod so many places, that you can't remember where you have tread. You haven't lost ground at all, you just keep finding new places to tread. You have trod here and there, and almost everywhere. You have left so many tread-marks that you can't tell where one begins, and the others end. Keep treading! ~ Higgest bugs, and lotta love, Gee~ P.S. If you didn't have time to say [what] you feel.

Mistakes are made to be picked up...

That kinda sounds like a poem doesn't it? I know I haven't been around much lately. I'm not quite sure what is wrong. I don't think it is physical, I just don't quite seem with it. Maybe it is being estranged from my lover...that good old nicotine! I feel kinda depressed. Yeah, still no cigs. Maybe I should go walkabout! Ya know, that kinda put a spark in my brain as soon as I said it! I will try to tread a few places I have never tread before. Maybe that will help. Anyways, great job Hun, you keep treading! ~ Gee.
