A Face in the Crowd
Another Place, Another Time
We were strangers,
But I could see,
Your eyes told a story,
Known only to me.
*
A tale of loss,
Of highs and lows,
A tale that led here,
The path that we chose.
*
Just a face in the crowd,
Letting the music flow,
Too far to touch,
Too close to let go.
*
In another life perhaps,
We danced until dawn,
Not this time my love,
The lines have been redrawn.
*
I take one last look,
Before you fade from sight,
Peeking behind the curtain,
A story I wish I could write.

Finding Your Light: Embracing Imperfection
When you stop trying to please others and cease striving for perfection, your light returns. We often believe that women become unhappy because they are not pretty enough, not perfect enough, or not hardworking enough. But what truly exhausts women isn't these things. It’s trying too hard in life.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Well..subscribed to you...and just chose this out of interest and wow, glad I did. This is beautiful and I agree with DK, there is all the build-up of possibilities, paced wonderfully and then it ends on such a high, if stopping point. Great writing, I say!
This positively hums with the energy of possibilities and then lands on such a beautiful but halting closing line. Very well done!
How lovely
