Wench

Missing image


When I lost you,
the earth failed to move.

There was no song in the leaves
the trees did not reach to hold
me.

Movement felt sluggish
my arms could not
embrace
I suddenly knew boundaries.

The stars held no luster
birds didn't fly
 as high
and
their song
was hushed.

Words could not explain
the emptiness in me
only you
could fill the void
perhaps define
what I am feeling.

Friendship lost
grief
mourning of the soul.
Missing you
hurts
beyond belief.

    Yes - once a wench always a wench. We are still here - just not in the same way. Life changes - we all move on - sad at times that we drift apart. But we are just a key stroke away.

    Take care.

    Late as usual but....

    Winter changes things, the little death gives us time to rest. Time to sleep and grow and become the beings we were meant to be. Winter is never a real death it is hibernation for the soul, a time to heal, to forgive. In some places and hearts winter can be long and harsh, yet the sun that shines after the cold season is all the warmer and stronger for the absence.

    What is the absence of a friend, a sister of the soul but the blinking of an eye in the grand scheme of things? We are all human and mistakes real or precieved no matter who's part they are on are forgivable. Love binds us, it keeps us connected no matter the distance or length of time that drifts by.

    You are loved by so many. You are a source of compassion for so many. You are a rock for so many. Let us be one for you, your strength, your compassion your heart. Let us love you as much as you love us and you will never be lonely nor will you feel or be abandoned.

    I know we each have felt this pain you speak of, this loss and torn heart. We all ache for the bond we thought was lost. But I tell you here and now it was never lost just burried beneath the winters snow. I believe we all long to feel the joy and warmth of the sun once more.

    I love you sweetie and I will be here when ever you need me, no matter the reason no matter the time no matter the days since we last spoke. Your heart will always have a safe harbor next to mine.

    Yours Always,
    April

    I LOVE YOU HON ♥ !
    Nothing ever changes that...NOTHING!

    We miss you too! Sometimes there are requirements of change for growth. It doesn't mean it will be easy but it still has to be done..

    "Movement felt sluggish
    my arms could not
    embrace
    I suddenly knew boundaries."

    We all have to have boundaries to be healthy sweetheart. I needed mine for my son..
    Just know we love you and nothing will change that
    Always

    Once a Wench, ALWAYS a Wench!

    I still wear my ankle bracelet. LOL I look at the glass placket you sent me with my name, and the definition; "reborn". Nikki's jewelry, cards from Deena, the Wenches phone calls, how much fun we had with the Cabana boys. Sigh~ I miss everyone too. I think some changes are hard to get past, not being around all the beautiful women in that group everyday is hard.

    We are not lost Cat. We are all here! Unfortunately we lost one member, and Tory will be missed.

    I feel every single word written here. I am in a melancholy mood today, have been since yesterday.

    Hey! We could have a reunion.

    The best to you in the contest!


    I LOVE YOU ♥

    Renee

    This is very sad, like freinds drifted apart. There are many I hold dear but never get to talk with though still here in my heart.

    I have been away and this is a perfect poem to come back to.

    Together, you were so formidable, I felt like a wretch.

    A toast to you, li'l darlin', and all the Wenches, "clink".

    Well spoken my friend. I have found when there is a special friendship between women it is something special. Very strong, sometimes bending but seldom breaking. Beautifully written!

    What the lonely woman doesn't know is that all she has to do is reach out her hand, and another woman will take hold.

    Not all of us have gone or changed, and not all of us have forgotten.

    "I suddenly knew boundaries".... I know you know how deeply your words here have touched me, I dont think I would adequately be able to explain what the phrase "once a wench, always a wench" means to me.

    I felt all of these same things, but in the end... no true friendship was lost, because look at us Cat, look at all of us, like a rope, tightly woven together, as strong as ever, never releasing us from the bond, the knot that strung us together in the first place.

    We can never change the sadness that consumed us, but know my friendship is one you never lost. Sisters are always sisters, and that is what you, and every single one of the women brought together by you, were and are to me.

    This poem brings an ache to my soul. My heart never changed either Cat... I still love you as deeply as I did 4 years ago.

    You have written a beautiful tale of grief, sadness and loss here.

    Forever your friend and Wench Sister,

    Criss (one of them, lol how many Criss' did we have? =)

    Sighhh...Although I was never a Wench, I know these emotions well, my Friend. You've painted your sorrow so beautifully, Sweetie. Good luck in the contest, Dear One. Wanda

    Aah yes, I remember those days, Catressa...but I still love you.

    Such a gentle, nostalgic song this is, especially those first lines. Those were the days, my friend...
