"The Heart Sees What the Eyes Cannot"

Falling, and memories of falling
Fill my night with emptiness and loss of persuasion
I am not aware of what surrounds me,
All I know is darkness, and the void, and alone.
Here in the darkness, the blackness, the absence of All,
I plunge my hands into the vapor, and hit You.
You are shrouded in the darkness, no feature visible, only the sensation of Touch enough to guide us to that meeting spot, that niche of convergence.
We collide gently in the blackness, a small earthquake pealing through our outstretched arms, hands, fingers.
Searching for a light in that unbreakable vacuum, a chance encounter reveals one soft, glowing illumination bright only for two, just enough to reveal the real you, the real me.
We shall collide softly, tenderly, in the light of our own making, a halo brought into existence by our faith in each other.

Thank you so much for your nice comment on my blog.
Lovely people like you really make me reconsider my decision.
As long as I am still unsure what to do I will remain in 'lurking mode' and keep in touch through your blog.

Thank you, Siobhan. You rock mine, too!

Thank you to each of you who wrote all these wonderful things. Lisa was really touched by all your kindnesses.

I'm still working on emails cause the server went down JUST AS I WAS STARTING. Bastard Earthlink. In time, though, I will get to everyone.

Again, thank you so so much! We love you guys!

My dear OP's!

I have the feeling that I owe you a big apology!
As you might know by now I decided to leave Mayo's but was drawn back by Amyranth's comment about an Anon, who claimed to feel left out.
I felt the irresistible urge to defend that Anon, because I watched far too many people (including dear Mya) being shouted at for daring to express their feelings.
However, I then realized, or even better said, remembered that Anon complaining about you two talking to SS in a sexual way and allegedly making Mayo's a popularity contest.

I want you to know that this is not my opinion!!!
I just wanted to point out that people should have the right to express their feelings without being ridiculed by certain others.

I hope you understand what I mean and that you accept my apology!
I truly admire you two!
You are very strong women!

Best wishes to you, Lisa!

Love & Kisses & Hugs

Siobhan
