Dejected images spread rampant
Thoughts derived in vain blanket my senses
Turmoil is evermore insistent as waves of trepidation encase
I search for apathy yet find remorse
I hunt for truth as sullen clouds of doubt dance into the horizon
What is light when curtains are drawn ?
What is joy when anguish has the loudest voice ?
Engulfed in my own barriers I reach outward as my focus dives inward
This place, this time, I have occupied before
Where is the hand to pull, the connection to grace
... yes, I do remember, how simple
A sudden smile appears on my face

Beautiful Speedy. This is that other side of you that you don't often show us. I like it very much.
Have a terrific day and weekend. Big hug. :)
Thank you Sandee ((smile))
I have no words to follow those..:)
Robert, this blog to me is usually where I escape daily stress, and find a relaxing atmosphere to calm my nerves, relax, create, and laugh. Today I started out with a different intent, yet still found the destination I was searching for. Sometimes the best reflections are not found in a mirror, but in your own mind.
Thanks for reading !
I'm not surprised, though I can still be amazed at the beauty of your words.
Akilah! ... what a nice comment. You the best :-)
Great post my friend!
Beautiful post, Speedy! Sometimes I feel like that too.
And to think I just came over to say BEEP! ;)
Chris, I LOVE the dogs new glasses ... HA HAAAAA !!!!!!
Hey Mike!! Glad you could stop in :-)
That was beautiful. You are clever as well as hilarious.
You are very talented, Mr. Cat. I am awed by how truly talented you are in so many areas. Thanks for all the rain and the sunshine that we just appreciate all the more because of it. :)
Teeni, every now and again I stumble across a new blogger out there, and find myself drawn to them because of their selfless attitude and concern for others. You are without a doubt a person I am happy to have as a blogging friend !!!!
Right back at cha` Lilly! Your blog is one of the best - ALWAYS creative and interesting.
Hi Eric! It has been a long time! Thanks for swinging by my music blog KUERDAS http://www.kuerdas.com
As always, you have been very clever and so humorous....
May you enjoy the weekend in grand style!
Hello!!!!! ... I saw you driving by, and followed the music :-)
Happy weekend to you as well.
woot woot !!!
Beautiful Speedy. A great pick-up for someone feeling so blah!
Thanks for making my day! :)
BIBI !!
It was one of "those" days for me, but somehow just writing this short post was very theraputic. It's easy to loose sight of the many blessings that go un-noticed sometimes.
Thanks for the nice comment (((smile)))
Lovely.
What a wonderful post Speedy. I am in awe and I must say like Sandee....I love all of you, but, when you open up like this, and we see that tender open raw view of Eric my heart leaps.
Hugs my friend!!
Jackie:-)
Wow! Wow! Wow! Those are beautiful words. Wow!
(I know, I said that already, but Wow!)
Terri!!
When I first re-read what I wrote, it seemed corny. The comments here have been great ... thank you :-)
Jackie ... well, my next post will probably be really goofy, so I am glad you liked this one !!!!!
Out of the thousands of posts I have created over the last three years, the actual number of serious, poetic, and emotional entries is quite high in number. Many days I do 3-5 posts on my various blogs. Funny, as I whipped this one out in far less time than usual ... about 10 minutes, it has been more popular in a short time span than many photoshopped posts that took hours to do.
That gives me some motivation to do more like it :-)
Thanks Barbara !!!!!!!!
Beautiful.
Beautiful Speedy, love the raining animation.
Wow! Very impressive!
Hi Michelle!
Just spilled out when I got home today ;-)

ME TOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!
There are a few courses opening tomorrow, but I am in a bit of a cash crunch.
Thank goodness Blogger is free (wink)
I JUST posted all of these - except this one, done yesterday.
(of course two posts were copy and paste)
I like pasting !!!!!!!
I'm sorry to hear you are in a cash crunch.
Yes good thing about Blogger being free! Oh my goodness, imagine how much your blog might cost if it weren't--ha!
Your blog (blogs!!!) have a LOT of stuff on them.
Oh! Well then, I wasn't as far behind as I thought! ha!
You are a blog overachiever. :D
That's a good thing.
... in an odd way, this post was about the economy, and it's affect on me personally
blog over-achiever?
HA HAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!! ... I like that :-)
OK ... here I come over to your blog now !
Yeah, I kind of thought that might have been the inspiration for it.
Starting first of April, the cleaning staff at my library will be out of their jobs. Then me and the other librarians will also be cleaning the library in addition to all the stuff we already do now. Some funding the director thought we were going to get from the state didn't come through. So we will have cleaning duties added to our responsibilities for no extra pay and no extra hours to do it in. We are already so busy and so understaffed as it is that there is no way we will be able to get it all done. Also, he is talking of cutting everyone's hours too in an effort to save money. Sent out a memo of a whole list of things we are to do to try and save money for the library budget. Turning off lots of lights, cutting way back on supplies, eh, a whole bunch of stuff. It is a mess. We are supposed to have a levy to vote on in the fall, but I can't see very many people voting for it because this area is so depressed as it is. Lots and lots and lots of folks out of jobs here.
ah, sorry, I'm writing you another book
Nice to talk to you tonight, Speedy. Happy Sunday to you. :-)
Likewise my friend!
hug hug :-)
