If Only It Could Be

If Only It Could Be
by Latina
04-Aug-2012
 

Yesterday,  as I strolled within the park.

I saw a couple, lovingly embrace.

They were enveloped in so much love.

Such joy and warmth within their hearts.

A glow, could be seen within their eyes.

 

Made me pause and think.

"I wish that could be me."

How wonderful it could be.

If only love could change things for me.

Make my place seem more like my sanctuary.

 

I am, then reminded of another place.

Where this dream could have materialized.

A place I so deeply love.

No other place compares to it.

Alas, it now only exists, only in my dreams.

 

Once again, returning to my chosen path.

I have devoted all I have to it.

If only, I could change my destiny.

I hear it calling out to me again.

"Come with me. I am your only sanctuary."

 

I close my eyes and firmly say.

"How true. I belong to you now."

The path envelopes me completely.

The shadows are repelled, once more.

The pain does subside for a moment.

Until the next time, that the shadows do return.

 

Hope still prevails within me, that perhaps.

In time, the shadows will transform.

From darkness into beams of light.

Shining on the chosen path.

Making my journey clearer, its calling stronger.

Will the shadows be defeated, at the end?

It seems, that only time will tell.

I heard the Brazilian coach will be fired 'cause they want to find a person who can help Brazil win the gold medal in 2016! They will not accept silver!

I am glad that the school is close by, so you can save some time on the traffic! I hope you get your Ph.D soon!

Yolanda,

Yes, it is a major pain to do the address change. Someone already moved into my old place. Wow! I only moved out like 14 days ago. Talk about fast.

I am certain that they will be getting some of my mail. What a dilemma. Oh well, I will deal with it issue by issue if need be.

The good thing about this doctoral program is that I don't have to move if I don't want to. :o)

Hi! Natalia,

    It is good that you plan to do it!

The annoying part of moving is address change! I really hate it! Of course, you just need to update the address once for every organization you deal with!

Latina, Love is critically important, though it is not

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on Sat Aug 04, 2012 02:12 PM PDT

enough, you also need other things like health, intimacy, self-esteem.  Those together are enough.

I will be ancient by then. LOL

on the move

by Latina on Sat Aug 04, 2012 01:26 PM PDT

Yolanda,

Thank you!

 

Yes, I have completed the move to my new place. It was a killer move though. I am still organizing my new place. 

Almost time to go back to working 40+ hours.

I have found a doctoral program that will meet my needs well. Hoping to begin Fall of 2014. :o)
