As I look
Beyond the ripples of my reflections
To examine my inner self;
The ripples begin to fade . . .
As the reflection lays beside me
Grasping my hand,
The inner warmth shields me
And the vision of my reflection appears
I see you. My Friend.
~Dena Martin

Nice poem

that's beautiful, dixie. i want to share that!

yes, i can say that i'm lucky enough to have some of those friends who lift my spirits even if it's by phone...i do miss spending RL time with them, and i also have a very dear friend here i speak to and even though we may begin speaking of our pain, we invariably ending up laughing...maybe crying again...it doesn't matter. they all my my heart lighter.

Just how I felt thismorning. Was planning on practice, making jewlery and vacum the first floor. Then something blew out that light. Another someone sent a hug and then another replied and then another. One even stood up to a bully in anohter group that I had on ignore.

It is a tiny flicker now but getting brighter.

Thanks

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine." I remember this saying from childhood and do believe we all have the light inside of us. When my light gets dampened I reach to my friends for rekindling. I've been doing lots of reaching out lately. One friend can take a flicker and turn it into a bonfire, and I love her for it. I am lucky to have found so many friends here at DS who light my fire. DS is my lifeline.

Thank you for this wonderful topic, Dix!

What a beautiful idea.
I raised my children to never say they'r bored, but now i find i can't considerate on anything.
this rekindles me

I do also have though near and dear to me, but many on here can fuel that light!

Heather that's funny I was singing that song yesterday!
