Alone in a ball on the floor
Like a dog who’s wounded to the core
Seeing the bright flash of red
From the cuts that left me for dead
I should be enjoying this moment
Caressing the time, I am free and content
But instead I am left counting
The reality of your hatred and dread
Wounds heal and feelings feel
Days go by and memories reel
I am left to heal alone in my ball
But I will rise no matter how many falls
That unseen Hand reaches in to console
Forgiving and persuading to hear the call
Upward ever upward; you will not win
For I am His child and me He defends

CAROLLLLLLLL. I’ve been looking for you since I came back, which was not long ago, fairly recent. Much took place over the past 3 years (some of which is told in my Hello Frankstein Post – I’ve been fighting my way back ever since. I was sad that I couldn’t find you when I got back (years later). I found many, but not you my dear, so very sweet soft and beautiful Carol.
I loved your poem, but it also concerned me, I hope it’s fiction, if not, whomever hurt you is going to have me coming after them! 😦
LOVE YOU ❤ Kimberly

Hello dear Carol! 💖 I hadn’t written in YEARS, and when I did finally start again it was, and is, slow going and in spurts. I’m just happy and relieved to hear back from you. I’ve thought about you for a very long time. I can’t wait to have you see my newer posts – I began again with a small handful in 2018 and a few more recently, but much more important than that is that I hard back from you. You never left my heart or thoughts. Sending you much Love & Light. 💖💖💖
