I truly feel this loss. Intense emotion that flowed like a river emptying itself. Another beautiful, albeit heartbreaking, piece, Sheila. ~Hugs, Elizabeth

Before reading I thought it may be an ode to the loss of your computer! Nope. Though this nearly did blow my hard.......drive.
Such word pictures of delight that are written with great clarity with images that send shivers down my spine (and other places too)
Totally dazzling and, very alluring poetry.

I wish it would usher me back to where the passageway begins. I seem to have lost the map that will take me to the other end. or was it stolen from me on purpose? Whatever it is, I am lost on a plane that others cannot fathom exists. You have written this from the soul Sheila, Thank you for sharing.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

Wherever it came from, it took us right along with it and leaves us wanting more, Sheila. There are some memorable images and lines in this one and I'm so glad you haven't lost all your stuff: that would have been a total tragedy! The thread, the mist slipping through your fingers, the boarded window inside and ESPECIALLY those lips lowered "to where my womanhood begins" - EXOTIC! One of my recent favourites and one to draw duvet-like around me this evening. Bless you, xx

You are an instinctive artist, Sheila,
with wonderful turn of phrase, choice of image
and language and great fluency...and
what you have to say is always worthwhile.
This is very fine indeed.

Your heart speaks so beautifully Shelia!
I know I don't deal with loss very well
your emotion inside here is so beautiful
even through the emotional longing of the loss(s)

I am also sorry you lost your pc, but how wonderful
it is to buy a new one!! It is crucial for us all
to always back up our files. I buy those large CD zipper
book cases. Each page holds 4 cd's on the front &
4 cd's on the back...it's awesome & the CD's hold 4.7 Gig

Many Love & Blessings

A powerfully sad poem. Thank God for New Passageways.

A wonderfully deep poem - from the soul. I hope it is not a precognitive poem. But if it is I hope it helped you prepare for a future loss. I say this because the future or past often flows into my writings and when this happens my mind does not know where it came from, as you have described here.

This could be a chapter out of a new book. Love the imagery you project and the anger that goes unresolved. Splendid

I believe as poets we draw on not only the present, the past but perhaps even the future for inspiration. We empathize and often shape shift so to speak into the hearts of others to feel what they feel. You may not have been writing this about yourself but it does capture well the pain and sorrow of loss...

Sometimes I think inspiration comes from past experiences (past lives perhaps) that we do not readily recall from this time and place. It's just a thought but I have had similar "encounters" when I've wondered where such "visions" came from. Thank you for sharing, Sheila. Love, hugs, and best wishes,
