The Woman Within

Tangled Web of Emotions

This tangled web of emotions

Swirling about in my head

Fills my heart with an aching

Throughout my body it spreads

The loss something you dearly love

Rips your soul nearly in two

You're left to cope with the heartache

And trying to start anew

Tears flow down and you release

The feelings you feel inside

Grief threatens to pull you down

But work through it until it subsides

Changes come and changes go

We experience them everyday

Nobody ever said that life was easy

Yet sometimes we expect it to be that way

Through this tangled web of emotions

I'll gain more wisdom etched with tears

And in my life, these lessons I've learned

Will carry me through the years.

Goodbye Sweet Sophie

Although she was just a cat,

she touched our hearts

and brought us love ten-fold

I never thought the day would come

when she would have to leave us

when her health would fail

or that she would grow old

Saying goodbye is never easy

as it grieves the body and soul

Our precious velvety furry love ball

had us wrapped around her little cat-paw

She made us smile and she made us laugh

She was such a joy to behold

This little kitty will be greatly missed

She was unique and I'm pretty sure

she was one who broke the mold.

But now she's gone, and we'll have to move on

and hold the love and memories inside

Our beautiful kitty has now earned her angel wings

we know she's at peace and not hurting anymore

and one day we'll again be by her side

Sophie will live forever in our hearts and soul

She's on the other side of Rainbow Bridge now

Sweet kitty we promise we'll see you again

Your spirit can run free to romp and play

So until that time comes when we can get there sweet Soph,

just wait patiently for us at the other end.

Until then, our love to you always sweet Sophie

Reflections of Me....

Reflections of Me...

The water shimmering in the summer moonlight

reflecting an image in the water's sheen

It is my own liken image

Yet as I look into the reflection

What do I see?

I see a woman who is wise beyond her years

Who feels and knows of things unseen.

I see a young child whose innocence

and playfulness is what laughter is made of.

I see a young angry teenager who embraces

her rage inside and molds it into expression.

I see a woman filled with a wonderful humor

and a quick wit who is very resourceful

who loves every aspect of living her life fully and completely.

I see a survivor who has channeled her pain and her experiences

into her many talents and her creativity.

I see many talents and abilities that she had to teach herself

everything she knows because she can only ever rely on who she is

and who she was always meant to be.

So many threads holding all of the pieces together

Some days she feels like she is unraveling apart at the seams

while other days she feels the confidence and self assurance.

She is proud of who she has become and the journey that

led her to the present moment.

So who is the woman, girl, child in the water's reflection?

That would be me.

Do I like what I see?

Guess so, as there's no other way to be.

Just me.

Slip Away....

Slip Away...

When this life tells you it is time to let go

to make that final journey, don't be afraid

for when you feel yourself slipping away,

I will be there right by your side

gently easing your spirit homeward bound.

Slip away my love into my strong arms

lean on me and feel the beating of my heart.

Can you hear it? Can you feel it?

It beats in tune with your own beating heart.

Take my hand in yours my love

and we will head into the setting sun

when our time here is done...

Together we will slip away into forever.

Changes

Falling leaves drop to the ground,

Golden embers of glowing red, orange and yellow

The winds of change blow gently

Carrying each separate leaf away from the tree

Plucked from its branches, its root of life

Carried away only to shrivel and crumble to dust

In the cold winds that swirl around.

The changing of the seasons, they say…

The fallen autumn leaves like my past

Crumpled forgotten dust drifting

Through the winds that blow in my mind

Cold, hibernated, hidden in a harsh bitter world

As I struggle to hold myself together

Through the painful journey of my recovery

Trying to reclaim the very essence of myself

Changes again...

A different change

Not cold, not bitter, not sad,

But warm and comforting

The sun comes out from behind the clouds

To shine brightness upon everything

Dissipating the darkness, the hurt, the pain

New buds appear on the trees

Flowers sprout up out of the earth

To peep out at their new surroundings

Fresh grass growth covers the ground

A rebirth of sorts

Changes bringing forth new life

New hope and new dreams

A change for the better

Changing me…
