SOMETHING LINGERS ...
Something lingers about
Untouchable, but touching with pain...
Something whispers to me, "Shout!
Scream! Pray, then maybe something will not return Again."
And yet, something always does settle in...
It could be a voice, filled with accents...
Laughter, teasing memories of when
I last heard, I last felt, I last absorbed her scent...
Something sits in the dimly lit room,
Waiting under the dust of time...and fear.
It may be porcelain, or plaster shadowed in gloom,
Something that died in a long ago...so near.
Something that brought a smile...gentle touch
Of joy to have for the memory of a pet,
A gentle touch of love that was, ohhh...is too much
For this something within to let me forget...

I had decided to copy this from the "Challenge" forum to post here because it seems the word "challenge" seems very frightening to most people here
Thank you Naushin and Graeme for your previous kind comments

"A woman with the courage to step out into the unknown, risking temporary loneliness for a shot at lasting joy, is more than a "single." She's singular. Instead of defining herself by what she lacks - a relationship with a man - she defines herself by what she has: a relationship with God." ~from Dawn Eden's 'The Thrill of the Chaste'
