We share a song, unfinished and complex. Sharing the penchant for dreams, you are the vision of all that is good. With all eye's on my posture, I move through the room with a graceful smile and a dirty little secret. My silent sanctuary had begun to crumble with the loss of my horizon. Alas, loyalty is the high road of caring, and for that measure of patience, I stand above the clouds. My central obligation is to drown in the dark side of compassion until I have nothing left.
Misrepresentation of a demeanor is something I am prepared to accept. Misunderstanding of a motivation is a crushing blow, to a dream born of pure intention. To acknowledge a naked truth standing on the edge of the barrier is all I seek, for now. Any indication of mutual thought would have done. A simple indication for a critical decision. I'm certain I'll make it there, circling around and circling through.
I can wait for the someday in life, although it happened yesterday and the day before. As certain as I am, that it will circle through tomorrow and the next day. With time and circumstance, the distance will circle closer and closer, this I am committed too. I'll hold my shadow on the ceiling of fair weathered patience, it's the right place to be during this time. I am strong of vision and living by choice of careful compassion. It's a matter of human obligation. This I ask for not, in the department of understanding. It's a solitary decision by which single recognition is required. Trust me.
Inside this box where the walls are black and the roof is red, is the replica of my shadows. I am my own representative, a team of many thoughts and emotions within. A boisterous bunch I happen to trust everyday. This group will never stay recumbent.

WOW Rebecca....Beautiful stream of consciousness...Yes there are the days it must flow...Some days it appears to overflow, while others arid. I love the shadows
"To acknowledge a naked truth standing on the edge of the barrier is all I seek, for now"........
WOW.....all I keep thinking with this quote of yours...is ...Even(for me) will that truth save me from taking that step? Or is the enticement of the free fall just that much more intoxicating???
LOVE THIS Rebecca!

Wow.....wow.
Another excellent piece. Let me ask one question, but only for you to answer to yourself. Obligated to whom?

What a piece of writing, complex and multi-layered.
I just know that when it comes to "meaningful conversations" long into the night, you'd be able to talk anyone under the table! Fabulous as always.
