The Long Journey Home

I had to stop worrying
what you say,
and what he said

what a world thinks?

because my life
is but mere moments
in a mini second
of time

I will be gone,
and I am already
halfway there ...

but I wont give up
until the world does,
I long ago let go
of hope for self,
and for the faith
to witness
miracles

the only hope
I have left is for
a future I will never see,
of spectacular feats in
human accomplishment,
that will awe the universe
I am envious but?

I've always wanted
to touch a star,
maybe, in traveling to
the next life I might
veer off course
and brush one,

I can only hope

I will never give up ;) I am a fighter and will battle till hope is a distant memory, and faith is the miracle love and big hugs jayCee ("Quote:-For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.

great write as always, Dear

great write as always, Dear friend I have indeed neglected you among others, as I haven't been around a lot, and I do hope you forgive me. I went through all you work in a steadfast motion, to try and locate your spoon poem, but I was unable to do so, maybe I moved to fast. Much love, Alex.

Dearest Xena

I am perplexed and that doesnt happen often lol the dictionary I have says it should be spelt traveling ... lol so will check it out tomorrow and see which is the right spelling for the meaning I intended lol to brush a star now that would be something love and big hugs JayCee x x x ("Quote:-For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.

Sorry JayCee

Perhaps both are right. I have very old software on my computer and an even older dictionary. I did think it odd when I thought you’d misspelled a word. Xena

I have found both spellings

I have found both spellings but i am going to look into the meanings of both I know ones got a slightly different meaning, and for the meaning I want ? it has to be specfic so you might be right yet lol ill look it up hun love and hugs JayCee ("Quote:-For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.

Hey JayCee

I'd like to know the difference, if you don’t mind. I like to help when I think something is spelt wrong in a poem, as most of the time it’s just a typing error, but because I’m not that well educated, I can often get it wrong. It kind of puts me off helping, but I only help when I know people aren’t offended. Xena
