i am somewhere

 

i am somewhere

between woe is me and yippee skippee

that's me   never up   never down

but like the duke of york   somewhere in between

 

so let's see who's who and what's what  

and account for if and when   and why or why not

and shoulds and buts and maybes

and will she or won't she

and let it happen before nightfall   or else

 

it was blessedly simple

when colin was home   he knew and comforted me

with his quiet strength

and i   silly me   thought i had strength myself

It is always a blessing to have someone who supports us in over lives. But we need to find strength even when we feel terribly powerless. That's what I feel. :)

Colin must have been the compass. I know what it is to lose the light in the dark. Therefore, I am somewhere, out there, with you. hugs, kathy

This shows how people whose brains lean to the artistic side need someone who favors boundaries and anchors to keep them from being out of control. But I think those "someones" need artistic people with them so that they can actually experience life as it happens and in all its beauty, adventure, and even ugliness. Else they would live as human robots. I really enjoyed and connected with this work.
