I will remember

 


I will remember you. 
All the things that lead us
  To that moment in my life
That broke old shackles;
  That started new patterns;
That awoke the sleeping wolf.
We do not need promises.
Your gift to me was that moment.
Your gift to me was
 everything that led to that moment.
I look at you and feel alive, 
  In a way I had been dead for years.
You show me who you are,
  I know this.
I know our moment
  was just that; a moment.
And just as I have left
  men with moments
In my younger years,
  I hold on to ours, now.
You unchained the wolf.
And she walks free, and proud, and ready.

-- Nico Holmes

Photo: "Nikki & Joy Caroling"

This more recent photo of me with Joy is from the office Christmas photo this past Christmas (2004). We had three dogs total in the picture. I cropped everybody else out so I could get a close up, but this picture was awesome! We were all caroling in front of the court house in Auburn.

New Start

Ok, I'm starting off with light, silly stuff. Or, I did. My first post on this blog was a poem I wrote in 1989, when I'd just met the man who would become my husband. Hah! I've not seen him since 1992, and I had not looked at that poem in years, either, but I do like the poem. Life changed for me recently, for the better. I closed the book on a long, drawn-out struggle with "the ex" as I refer to him, which makes people think we were married, though we never were. We were together for nearly eight years, however. Parting was not a sweet sorrow. It was, in fact, neither sweet, nor a sorrow. I left behind a lot of relationships with both people and animals I loved. Not because I wanted to, but because those were the limitations set forth. All in a day, things were.. over . Believe me, I'd like to rant and rave here about the victimizations he perpetrated. But, I am not going to slouch into that same state in which he exists. I won't. I will say
