I remove myself to a calm place, and observe. It is hard to fathom where such outbursts come from. I love the horse nuzzling your shoulder, right when you needed it. Even if just in reverie, it feels comforting and beautiful.Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057172956502874716.post-48468397350654380252015-09-30T12:57:39.992-06:002015-09-30T12:57:39.992-06:00Truth!

I remember being so sick after my Grandmother died that I needed two weeks to recover enough to return to teaching. 3 Days only are allowed by the school district, but what could I do? And even recovered, I feel the loss as if a harsh and unfair word that resounds and resounds. Your poem is very moving.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057172956502874716.post-46421610695389282422015-09-30T12:38:55.925-06:002015-09-30T12:38:55.925-06:00So true.. words once spoken tend to leave a mark o...So true.. words once spoken tend to leave a mark on the soul.. hence taking longer to heal.

Scary really, and so true that we won't remember the words spoken but we will remember how we feel. How to get beyond...how to heal...how to forget. I remember again now as I read your poem. I have forgiven for my own sake, but I don't think I can really forget.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057172956502874716.post-21924789369995735492015-09-30T12:18:58.786-06:002015-09-30T12:18:58.786-06:00Perhaps it is feelings that get sick and we follow...Perhaps it is feelings that get sick and we follow - that is a rather profound thought annell. As we are often guided by our feelings. Its hard too when you don't have symptoms physically, but still you feel it.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037544390731217891noreply@blogger.com
