The lonely heart threw mud pies at the windows, tore flowers all to shreds; hid sobs by screaming insults to the wind that swept its tears across the landscape of its pain. The lonely heart could not imagine kindness coming to its rescue so it fought against the angels, threw acid on their wings and ran from gentle smiles it saw as snarls, the fear it could not fight creating walls that cannot be undone from outside. The lonely heart remains alone until it reaches out and asks for comfort. Reach out, let someone say I love you and don’t judge it for a lie, just hear it, just say thank you. It’s a moment, not a lifetime, just a moment when we heal.
A moment of 'I love you' for you all this morning.
I have actually been in this situation and ended up on the street with a pillowcase full of three cats and a handbag with my ID, passport and zip drive where I had my 'puter back up.
As it was nighttime I was barefoot wearing a coat over PJ's which was slightly better equipped than my neighbours who remembered slippers but forgot to grab a coat and were not wearing PJ's.
The fire department saved the building so all was not lost, just smoked and soaked.
I started smoking when I was 22, loved every minute of it and quit 10 years ago when I realised I wasn't enjoying it anymore.
An acupuncture session and drinking several litres of water a day for the first 72 hours and I was fine, from 3 packs a day to none. The first three days were unmitigated hell, mind you!
Wind whips the morning glory to disorder, purple throats all mute, the flutes and bells discordant half shredded by the touch of careless Nature as day creeps into being colours misted by the clouds which bar the sunbeams from their work, winter has come to wonderland chill instability and roughness in the air that should be stroking me with sunshine, wrapping me with silken bands of movement looking for a wayward strand of hair to tweak, caress along my cheek yet sullen night clings to the east a weight upon the sun depressing the normal golden shout that shakes the world awake.
