For The Love Of Alanis


One day I'll find relief
I'll be arrived
And I'll be a friend to my friends who know how to be friends
One day I'll be at peace
I'll be enlightened and I'll be married with children and maybe adopt
One day I will be healed
I will gather my wounds forge the end of tragic comedy

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete

One day my mind will retreat
And I'll know God
And I'll be constantly one with her night dusk and day
One day I'll be secure
Like the women I see on their thirtieth anniversaries

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete

Ever unfolding
Ever expanding
Ever adventurous
And torturous
And never done

One day I will speak freely
I'll be less afraid
And measured outside of my poems and lyrics and art
One day I will be faith-filled
I'll be trusting and spacious authentic and grounded and home

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete

Has anyone ever told you that you remind them of Kim Hunter?

Me or Ashley? And who are you anonymous? Let's have some name droppin' here.

You!
And I'm just a friendly passerby. Came across your blog one day and read something I could really relate to, so every now and then on a slow day I just stop by to see what's new. Hope you don't mind.

Nope, I've never been told that before. She -really- reminds me of a great aunt I had, and my family tells me that I look like her, so there ya go. :)
And of course I don't mind you stopping by! I love that somebody out there reads what I have to say. So do you have a blog?
