I love this poem. I love the circling ...Wonderful! I love this poem. I love the circling rhythm. I love the touch of rhyme. I can relate to the haunting memories of the house of my childhood. I can relate to standing there trying to make myself believe that I don't live there anymore. Yet, the reality was for many years that I did live there in my spirit, imprisoned by the terror and confusion that was born there. And when I was finally ready to go back and relive it in my dreams and in my mind, I received the help I needed to understand and be healed. Praise the Lord who heals! And this revisiting happened more than once, for there were many confusions to unravel, so it took time. The worst of the pain is healed, and there are more healings to come, and each one is beautiful in its own way. I truly love this poem because it expresses something very meaningful that I have never expressed. And it's special to know that you understand. hiddenautistichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12423811548847106706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5735627427140332330.post-70933567078719622802012-02-02T17:46:00.677-08:002012-02-02T17:46:00.677-08:00A strong and powerful write!

These memories so painful, enlivening a house whose spirit has obviously possessed you with its terror. I am glad you found the courage tobreturn and to confront the terror facevto face. These lines are especially effective for me:<br /><br />The pain<br />can not be my past,<br />it can not be my present,<br />it can not be the mask<br />I hide behind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784125345525784337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5735627427140332330.post-89880131770573054282012-02-01T19:51:39.026-08:002012-02-01T19:51:39.026-08:00It's not all Dick and Jane, Fluff and Spot, is...It's not all Dick and Jane, Fluff and Spot, is it? Not Beaver Cleaver, not all that syrupy stuff of the 50s. Behind the picket fences were battles, and dread, cold mornings, cold beans from cans, unpaid bills, and parent who never grew up. Families are weird and those who can, survive.
