patient1-1000x772Hello Friends,

You may have noticed (or not :/ ), that I have been remiss in replying to your comments, as well as commenting on your posts.  I do apologize, but it is with good reason.  If you read my poem from today, “Overwhelmed“, you’ll get a feel from where I’m coming from.  I apologize, and am slowly catching up with everyone, a little at a time.  I am also battling some health issues, which I do not like to dwell on, but have been more of a nuisance than not, and as such, I am away from my keyboard more than I’d like to be.  Please be patient with me.  I love reading your posts, it will just take me a bit longer.

A side note ~ if you have a twitter account, please make sure your twitter ID is filled in on the Sharing page (settings -> sharing).  I also use this as a way of telling you I loved the piece I read, especially when I don’t have time to comment!!

Love you all,

Dorinda

Tucked beneath the snow

In a blanket of pure white

Mountain flora sleeps

The days grow short, nights are shorter

I’m a wife, a mother, and a daughter

Pulled in all directions, until I’m numb

It’s no wonder why, I’m feeling glum

I need some space, to call my own

A quiet spot, where I’m unknown

No one to call my name, out loud

Far away, from the roaring crowd

Yet, I do not know, of such a place

To live my life, at my own pace

One day I hope to find that peace

When overwhelming moments cease

Trapped in winter’s cold

Branches cloaked in snow, shiver

As the sunlight fades

Under Sky and Over Sea ~ #poetry of #life

Clouds that swirl in azure skies

Waters flowing before my eyes

Catch me in hypnotic spells

Watching, as my dreams are quelled

Under sky, and over sea,

Is this where life has taken me?

Letting go, my thoughts do wander

Scattering about, it makes me ponder

What does all this really mean?

To be stuck here, in between
