Reactions

Reactions

Far too many years my Daughter has suffered heart ache from what I did not give.

Many ghosts linger on, haunting her subconscious, making it difficult for her to live

a normal existence, not consciously understanding the mechanisms that drives her action.


Waves roll relentlessly upon the oceans of time, turmoil beneath the surface, a distraction

carrying within its meandering currents, so much debris, propelling it, often in my direction

Offering up explanations, facts, no excuses, just regrets, seems not to offer any satisfaction

 

for this beautiful Girl / Woman who has decided to give up control and let her emotions flow.

having the professionals guide a direction to the places she would like, needs and wants to go.

Always pleasing, looking for approval, being the best are no longer reactions she needs to show.

 

I am beginning to think the ghosts are dissipating, becoming a faint vapor from the past, evaporating

 from the bright light of understanding, accepting, realizing that by letting go life will be more captivating.

The debris left upon the beaches of her life will be washed away with the outgoing tides, will be animating,

 Epilogue

 My Daughters, fifty year journey, walking the rocky shores of her life

is alighting on pristine, sandy beaches, to the rhythms of soft waves

eroding away all the jagged edges of her earlier life’s adventures .
