Mourning

It was cold this morning,
as we all fell into mourning,
we can't believe you're gone.
Your bravery, your strength,
taught us all, at length,
how to be better people.
Some say you lost the fight,
you've gone on to the light,
I say you've finally won.
The cancer may have taken you,
but we should not be blue,
for there is no longer any pain.
Are you redecorating Heaven?
on Earth you were so driven,
to cover all in Pink Flamingos. :)
No doubt God welcomed you,
and said He was so proud of you,
for you accomplished so much while you were here.
And now, now you are there,
and now you have no cares,
no cancer, no fears, no pain, no worries at all.

Robin, may you rest in peace.
Love forever,
Michele


"...and though I don't know if I've been changed for the better, because I knew you, I have been changed for good"

As dusk settles each day into night,
and the light of the sun takes flight,
a child stares in wonder at the stars.
Spinning in circles, dizzy,
listening to the night speak,
stars twinkle in the heavens.
Nimbus clouds dance
in a heavenly trance,
and grace the pregnant moon.
Like a lover's embrace,
she takes her place,
on the celestial stage.
Diana arches her mighty bow and arrow,
the bear and bull, o how they cowtow,
as she lets loose her shooting stars.
Like fireworks they fall,
how brightly they fall,
a child reaches up her hands.
Catch the stars,
sing a few bars,
of a nursery rhyme.
Make a small wish,
c'mon, make a wish,
and dream your heart's desire.
See the goddess smile upon the world,
her light bright like a banner unfurled,
as she grants the purest wishes.
The child releases a pure, happy laugh,
that flies o'er the wind like chaff,
the sound like the lightest bell.
Fireflies dance,
like fairies in a trance,
in a shower of shooting stars.
Fall under the spell,
like a bride before a wishing well,
of dreams and dreaming and purety.
Child, believe, this is not fantasy,
this is a child's reality,
created in Starry Wishes.

Jealousy Unfounded

Jealousy reigns
like a stomach-ache,
bubbling
like oozing oil fountain,
disgusting,
ugly,
horrible to behold,
and so unnecessary,
I would suppose.
Green-eyed monster
bears red-eyed fiend
from evil depths
of my horrors,
and my nightmares.
No reason for this,
he is faithful,
I have no doubt.
No reason for this,
but for my lack
of self-esteem.
I trust him with my life,
I trust him with my heart,
I trust him
because I know he has done no wrong.
So why am I jealous?
Why does this monster,
this feeling of
pure ickyness
and self-loathing,
fill my being
from top to toe.
It isn't fair to him,
it isn't fair at all.
I must face this monster
and defeat it,
for it could destroy
that which I hold most dear.
Begone Fiend
from the depths of me!
Love will win,
because I say so.
Trust will win,
because lies fall flat.
We will win,
because I trust his truth.
But oh, how I am jealous...
unfounded

Wedding bells are soon to ring. December 5th, 2009... that is, if we can find a new reception venue, our original one was closed due to an evil landlord.  >:(  Not nice.  But it is true, after four years engaged, and six years together, Angel and I are finally getting married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    I'm so excited, I can barely breathe! lol

*******************************************

Sorry, I've been away for so long, I've been so busy with everything else, that I've totally forgotten about how writing calms me. I need this outlet, this escape from the world, so that I can find me again. Love to all of you. I promise to be visiting all of your sites soon to catch up. Sister Beck, I have missed you so much, I pray all is well wth you! <3

See you all (or at the very least, your profiles) soon!
