i am a twisted vine searching for the sun
i am a wound up spring learning to unwind
Most times the winding, reaching parts of me are bare...
and at other times i am so filled with blossom
that i become dizzy with Life's scent...
This i have come to understand
is the Realizing of myself...
This curling and stretching
is the Becoming of who i am
But this searching is not my weakness
for it is the way i have become Learned in the ways of Life
This twisting are the Lessons
and is the Purpose of my Journey
for i have become the Letting Go
and i have become the Understanding
of the True Beauty beneath the blossom
i am the brown bareness reaching
i am the winding and the turning
and within the twisted coils of my torment
lays my Heart and the True Strength of my Soul
i am a vine

you are truely and amazing woman!
you gonna bring forth grapes soon?
And if you do bring forth grapes, will that lead to wine-ing? Perhaps, but no whining.
Delightful thoughts, Vicki. Along with your well-lived challenges.
Blessings and Bear hugs.
Vicki, This is so beautiful, what a wonderful writer and brave woman you are. Sending love and hugs.

You are indeed a beautiful vine... seemingly *fragile* - yet so strong that you keep climbing towards the Moon and the Sun and the Stars...scattering precious words like jewels.....you give all of US inspiration....
I am sending you my strength and my love....
Always,
♥ Robin ♥
The curling and stretching...the becoming of who you are.
A 'light' filled being twisting and turning, spreading your light, filling us with your love.
Thank you for allowing me to share the journey Vicki xo

Thank you, Vicki, for the wonder in this poem. I hope you feel comfort and warmth and safe today...xx
Nollyposh, I do not like it when a week or more passes and I have not heard from you, whether on my blog or on your blog. I feel this way because I know you are very ill. My energy is directed at making you well, but I am unable to make you well, and my helplessness scares me.
i ~LOVE~ you ~ALL~ for it is ~YOU~ who have traveled the road with me to find myself...
Dearest Snow, Your comment means so much to me for i know that you and i suffer a similar pain (((Hugs))) x
