the tone of my mother's voice while she worked
trying to erase stained pokeberry
war paint.

When I first joined Gather, I posted this as my first article. I know so many new people, and it is going to be 6 years ago this week that I wrote this and she died. Oddly enough, this . . .

As I reread my article, several things jumped out at me. After I got myself scraped off of the ceiling, I realized that this needed some work. It is amazing how much more you notice, . . .

My Heart
I cannot
believe
that I am
here
without you.
For years
this house
has been
our home.
But
you are
gone
now.
And it's . . .

So what's changed other than the date
Memories haven't faded, but the pain did
at least I can say that, still it's there--the scars.
That infernal reminder of the damage left behind . . .

Oh, for a heart that will look within
And not see this body degraded from sin.
My Lord has forgiven and forgotten my past
But the tell on my body will always last. . . .

Does he notice how much I have changed?
Can he . . .

The summer and winter
Seems to blur for me
The inside of my house
Is usually what I see
But my imagination
Ranges far and wide
Remembering the beauty . . .

When We First Met
Do you remember
the first time we met?
We stumbled
into each other
at the grocery store.
Stammering
our apologies
we introduced
ourselves.

Like all of these papers crumpled on the floor
I watched as my friends were pushed through the door

Pain, hurt, frustration to spare
What am I doing, I have done this
I don't need to go back
It isn't for me.
Yet here I go
Once again, beating up me.
It's . . .

I sit here alone, thinking of you
and how I knew that the time would come.
The time that you would go away
never to return to home.
We all know it is coming . . .

And my heart bleeds from the loss
I have but a short time to ponder
Is it worth this . . .

When I first wrote this, many assumed it was because I was trying to comfort a friend who was feeling old. I admit that was only a partial reason. It started when my grandmother and I were talking one . . .

The night seems to be the most dangerous time
When I am left with these thoughts all alone.
It is when I find those bad habits come back
Making me feel like the darkness is . . .

I found a treasure today
more valuable than gold
when I first saw the picture
I could tell that it was old
It's been tucked away for years
just waiting to be found . . .

Her image lingered well into the night
I sensed her presence in a dawn so bright
It made me giddy 'though I was alone
Sweet plans of seduction ran through my bones
Certain flowers live on this higher . . .

How much further will you go until you see?
All the love you have been searching so . . .

As she stared at her coffee,
she saw again the fatal kiss,
The one that stole her heart
and threw her dreams into a twist.
He could not be the one,
her knight . . .

The holidays have come
And yesterday was lost
What new that might have been done
Was shrugged aside and tossed
What is one to do
Facing the holidays all . . .
