Fleeting Moments

For a moment she thought of her love; her eyes smiled though fleeting, sincere For a moment she felt desirable, worthy believed her beauty Then the feeling of infinite sadness returned her well of despair The sinking feeling her drifting to the bottom weeping within her Sometimes she thought she was climbing out; up a struggle, hang on A moment where she felt light instead of empty hungering for more Though moments pass too soon, she Feels them like raindrops; renew

Bitter (have I used that before?) by distantcricket, literature

Bitter (have I used that before?)

I wrote a poem once. (That's funny; I've written many poems... One poem I wrote) All full of questions, "Why?" I was young And stupid full of hormones (I had way, way more sex than any kind of love in my life.) One of the first questions in the piece was, "Why do I want love?" And here I am. Decades later wondering the same thing. (Because sometimes it's a double-edged sword.) In order to open myself to accept love and be available to love and to share my gift ( because my love is a gift.) I have to make myself vulnerable. And I have to realize that the other person is an entity. With wants and needs and they might not b

Thought of You

I felt it, yesterday. Do you remember? That feeling of peace and quietude that comes when I sit beside the water and the wind is a gentle hand brushing against my cheek.

You always had a camera, even then. You gave a copy of that picture to my dad one random year, and I think you said that it expressed who you knew me to be. Your friendship is woven through my years, and yesterday the smell, and the ripples, and the solitud

Me in the Spirit of Chekhov

"Write a story about a woman who is neither old nor youthful, a woman whose body has been changed by childbirth, who has had too many lovers, and smokes too much, one who is a mediocre poet and an excessive reader, who has had many grand friends and yet isolates herself seemingly without conscious choice, who is a scholar and has no path on which she sees a way to plant her seeds of thought, one who can find joy in simple things and who laughs from her gut, one whose smiles reach her eyes, who is kind and respectful to all she meets, and who longs to be a good neighbor and good daughter and good mother, one who hopes one day to have a compani

I am truly alone in this endless night.

I am but a figment of your imagination.

In school now. Still looking to figure out my passion. Reminding the voices in my head that my life is not over now that I am an unemployed, single-mother of four. Striving to convince the internal naysayers that I have value, and an employer will se...

Just a little rant...

I understand capitalism a bit more now that I am in this Intro to Business class.  But I am overwhelmed with the following thought, and I needed to get it out somewhere.  Capitalism is good, Socialism is good.  We should have a system that is somewhere in the middle, and it is my understanding that we are heading in that direction as a society. Buying and Selling this is great for a market. Not all resources should be bought and sold. Some resources should be shared. Some goods and services should be bartered. Help should be available when needed. Perhaps a period of volunteering should be required after help is received. I don't know.
