The Perfection That is Us II

So young, so naïve- I was
Everything you didn’t need. My
Virgin body, my virgin mind would
Eventually be our demise.
No hard feelings, I just wasn’t ready
To be whatever it was you needed then
Even though I had wanted to
Even though I had tried
Naivety took some time to heal

Years passed til we met once more, and
Excitedly we jumped right in again
Against the odds- and I was
Rediscovered and re-released
So quickly that

I abandoned hope- all hope for our future
Never giving it another chance

Til now.
How love found us again so
Easily, I’ll never know, but I like to think that

Maybe we were just meant to be-
And we just didn’t see it then, so we
Kept our distance. But,
I'm here to tell you that I see it now.
Now I know, I am your other half, and I will never let you
Go again…

I think you hit the poetic nail right on the acrostic head with this one Erika. Very nicely penned and loving reminisce of the transformation of a girl into a woman.

I was particularly struck by the lines

I just wasn’t ready
To be whatever it was you needed then

few are and fewer still take a second chance and 17years isn't that long in comparison to a lifetime

kudos,

ET

Thanks ET... this would be the third chance though... (but 3rd times a charm right?)

Indeed, third times the charm and did you know that three is the most magical of numbers. The number of creation itself?

Long before the Catholic church developed the concept of trinity, the world inclduing early christians believed that man + woman + child were the elements of both the divine and life.

The mysogynysts removed the feminine from the equation and you can see what a mess they made of it.

Three is also the basis of the threefold law in wicca and many charms, spells are repeated three times, etc.

Apologys for the trivia facts, just wanted to let you know that I'm rooting for ya and wish you well (three times of course) as in hip hip hooray.

I'm a sucker for true love (who woulda guessed)

Keep yer chin up kiddo.

Ha funny youd mention Trinity... I was tTrinity (The Matrix) last Halloween!

The matrix has all sorts of philosophical underpinnings in it's script. I used to manage a philosophy/religion community on the web and it was discussed in detail.

I won't hijack the thread with the details but I do believe in intuition and the subconscious minds ability to steer us through the maze of reality (small r). Sometimes symbols or in your case a costume represent more then the superficial.

Many scholars now invest the subconscious and the bi-cameral mind with the power to shape reality as we know it. Extraordinary or original thought was once considered the mark of a prophet and people once commonly believed that subconsicous originated thought was the gods speaking to them and through them. All before the mind became occupyed 24/7 with things like creating and obeying laws and counting wealth, of course.

But here I digress, as I promised, I would not.

Suffice to say Trinity is a cool choice for Halloween
