Reflection



Reflections in the air
each sunrise, sunset
casts a glow
of memories
not yet forgotten
an empty shell
eager to be filled,
set upon
the waters edge
searching for reverence
compromise, unyielding
as you blow away
each memory box
each day,
each night
a reminder
close your eyes,
little one
let strength in vulnerability
rise
seek not the answers
nor the demise
but lavish in the existence
of emotion

  3. I wish you could have a star,not just one but galaxies of them.....
    i'm not a star
    but i can still offer you the little light that glows in my lamp......
    You can come and have it whenever you want it, Your taking it will only beautify me.

    So fill up....is'nt emptiness not made for that!

    How much you teach me, Kay....and so much i have to learn, especially when these comes not through the books but through the silences, a smile, a touch of the hand!

    Whatelse can be love other than this which sustains us when nourishement is meaningless otherwise!
    i hope yhis year will open the unexpected....but whatever it might be, i wish them all to be filled with grace and love!
    May such a blessing shower upon you!
    a wonderful 2010 to you, Kay!

  4. Emotion is best viewed from a slight distance, for this often gives us a truer picture.

  7. Amen sista. We may wear different Nike's but we've gone down the same path, I think.

    May I join the chorus in loving that line about emotion? I come from a family where a raised eyebrow is a wild emotional display, and so emotional me never fit in. But i wouldn't be any other way; I want to experience and feel all that comes my way.

  8. Lavish in the existence of emotion...so nice, sounds so relaxing doesn't it. Of course, my emotions are rarely relaxing. But going with the flow can't be any less traumatic, so why no give it a go!

  12. "let strength in vulnerability ... rise"

    That's lovely enough to be an eulogy or a birth announcement. Preferably both. Beautiful.

  19. I really enjoyed how "let strength in vulnerability rise" gives way to
    "lavish in the existence of emotion"

    lavishing vulnerability seems like something very magical and powerful!
    Thanks Kay for this beautiful image!
