Fairy Tales Plain as the day on her face the night in her eyes, never far removed from bare knuckled presence. A fighter she attested. A survivor. Hard life clung to her cloaking what little soft allure she managed to retain. Vulnerable allowed when her arms wrapped around her little ones drinking in their sweet innocence awestruck by their bright eyes. Depended upon, she was. Embraced in the moment as they clung to her. Just as brief...they were gone. Her demeanor straightened. Sight changed to reflect task. She lived in the here and now where time could only be grasped as habit melded to routine. ...in the still dark, only pulse reverberated. Inhale to exhale deafening silent gasps awaiting rain to cool from the heat. Change would come immersing recognition once again like promises kept ...a given... Once upon a time when dreams could become. But that was a long, long time ago. SadieLu ©2013

Our lives get tangled in such knots...I am always taken aback when you find something you can connect with...it's ok the tears need to come...love more. This so brought heartfelt tears to me. I love you ((( Sadie)))
