Without a Word (1987 so 16 yrs old)
You needn’t say a word
your deepest thoughts can still be heard
inside my heart
looking into your longing eyes
all I need
your true feelings
you cannot disguise
but even if I was to close my eyes
I can listen to my heart
my soul
they know that without you
it’d be a world so cold
when I want to know what is true
what is real
I know
without a word
I can hear how you feel
your lips don’t lie to me
your eyes always let me see
this is real
real love.
A couple minor tweaks here & there – it was written exactly 30 yrs ago – I’ve done some growing since then 🤓 Had to change that middle line – couldn’t say it cuz I don’t feel it; “it knows that without you I will never be whole” nope, not true – not authentic it had to go 💕🤗💕
“From the Heart” is what I entitled my book of poetry💕💕& here I see this pic I made last year, drawn to the same lovely words 🙄
Yup, 30 yr old papers .. donning the tattered look.
I guess some things really are just meant to be .. & sometimes you’re guided right to them 🍁

It’s really something I gotta say!
To see where I was to where I am now & how far I’ve come & grown & evolved – it’s pretty amazing 😊
I only made a few small changes but I’m thinking I might try to rewrite it again with more of my current self.
Kinda weird that it just happens to be the 30 year anniversary since this was written 🤔🎉💕

And how about them tattered papers. I have moved around so much, left the country a couple of times, traveled and flew by the seat of my pants 🤓 Then I started over n recreated, lost everything, started over again .. lost it again & thennnn rebuilt stronger than ever 💖
And here I am today.
Absolutely mind-blowing to me that these somehow managed to still be with me today, having forgotten about them for so long ⏰
