Somewhere between the where I was
to where I am today
I found the missing part of me
I'd lost along the way

So many faces never seen,
so many places never been
Yet all those spaces in between
were where I'd hide away

I have no hidden depth to me
There is no deep, dark mystery
I have no ancient history
We live beside the sea
My lovely dogs and me

We love to watch the morning sun
Along the beach we’d often run
And often, when the day is done
We’d sit alone and dream

I'm nothing to be frightened of
Were I a bird, I'd be a dove
One day I'd like to fall in love
It’s in my greater scheme

Each day is now a lovely day
I even find the time to pray
If it’s okay I’d like to stay
To share, to laugh, to play….

Somewhere between the who I was
to who I am today
I’ve found the missing part I thought
I'd lost along the way

I love this Wanda!!! Inspiring...

Today I caught a glimpse
Of this being I call me
Of something I thought long ago
Differed to what I now see
Today that glimpse was beautiful
It's all that I can say
Because I saw a journey
From yesterdays to today
A lifetime I have learnt
In the shortness of my life
A memory I have saved
For when I might become a wife
Now I search for everything
And nothing I do find
But maybe I am looking
In the wrong corners of my mind
The cobwebs that I see
Are far from where they were
New spiders have spun them
New lessons I now deserve...

Today I saw a glimpse
Of the something in the mirror
That I call me sometimes
But that now does differ
My name is then
My name is now
My name is in the future
For now I can't predict
The next glimpse that I may see....

it was the title that drew me in...

it fits one of mine .

THE EDGE

I climbed an ivory tower
to the pool of my delusion
and there I drank a sadness
whose taste betrayed a path
I chose not to walk
I descended from thence
to find myself aloft
and there in the presence of sweet April rain
I smiled and slept in bronzed arms
inhaling wisps of silken dew
Prevailing silver streams
did not adhere to my imagination
so I awoke on sheets of splendor
and soared a while
to bemuse the dreams that had yet eluded me .
