Daylight is dim. I'm longing to sleep in, needing some comfort and care. But there's to much to do and the worlds coming unglued - I need to keep it together. I need to know you're here. Seeing the things I'm facing. I need to know you're here. Walking with me in my pacing. In dishes piled high and laundry way too deep and papers impatiently waiting. Do I only see work and tasks to do or evidence of life and living? I need to know you're here. Helping me in these days. I need to know you're here. I'm trying to go your way. Hold it together, keep yourself calm. Cool as a cucumber wins. (I think) Wanting so much to fall all apart, so you can put me together again - again - I'll just fall apart so you can put me back together again. I need to know you're here. That I'm not in this all alone. I need to know you're standing close. Breathing each breath, taking me home. I need to know you're here. T.L.E. 2008
Life is tough, but hope is tougher.
