Hey all, I've been struggling a bit to stay raw, but it's my only saviour at the moment. Tough times here, breaking up, moving, moving again... stress!!!
I made a really good salad/relish last night - radishes, celery, a little onion, olive oil, parsley, chopped olives.. and I put that over marinated portabellos. I call it "cleaning out the fridge" salad. Turned out better than I expected! Yum! So good! And I made the infamous coconut oil fudge Chocolate can make any girl happy.
Anyway, I was inspired to write a sad poem. Take a look if you wish-

…goodbye lover…
9/14/07

Sitting in a wrath of confusion
Tension toils around my stomach
Like dying butterflies being eaten alive.
I do not know what to think
I do not know what to say
When I am faced with your beautiful face.
You hate me.
The butterflies are trying to escape
And be free
To fly away…
You want to let them go
Even though it hurts like hell
And you seem to want to see them fly.
But I am scared.
Truly afraid to let them go
And leave this old soul.
I will miss you lover
Like I will miss this routine
Day in day out
Left unchanged in a world of boredom
That you so dearly love.
So goodbye my lover,
My life for the past changing seasons.
Fall is here and the leaves are dying,
And each leaf makes me think of you.
You need to be free to find your way
And I will only hold you back…
I need to be free to go away
And let you grow.
I never want you to be unhappy
But it is all too late for that.
My back is turned on you.

I read Beppa's post about grabbing ahold of the hot air balloon's basket this morning, and it made me smile. Thanks, girl! Even though I don't post much on here, I do read a lot, and when I do post a blog, I always get supportive feedback. Thanks, guys, I DO appreciate you all so much.
