Do you ever have one of those days? The kind of day you realize certain things about the people in your life. You may have met one time but know that you will be forever connected. Or the thought that you are not as close to those you should be and why.

I have many of these days lately. Those that were once so close to me, are now so distant. We don't even know who each other is anymore it had been so long. Do we remain the same as we evolve our lives, ourselves; to be what we envision ourselves to be when we were young? Or do we change everything about ourselves?

I believe we hold onto the parts of ourselves that help us in some way, become that image we envisioned as children. Some parts will phase away, while others remain the same.

Evolution has been occurring for billions of years. Science has proven that time and time again. Animals adapt to their surroundings or escape to safer land in hopes of survival. Humans are similar to animals in that we adapt to our surroundings or escape in hopes of survival. The difference between man and beast is that man has a soul, a connection to some other power out in the universe. Some call it God, or Gods; others call it Ala or even simply 'intuition.' There are many names to the unknown power of the universe.

I follow my intuition, my God, my faith and beliefs. As I make my way into the unknown using my intuition as my guide, I look at my past both with sadness and happiness. And I find myself in the same place - in limbo.

As I search for answers to the past, I look toward the future to help me answer them.

I think we will always be In Limbo.

Stretched across the black,

Bottomless canyon

Oh God! What if I fall?

Childhood is a silent time

When the world

Is new and green

And a kitten's heartbeat

Is the magic of life.

In the fury of

Battle

Tears well up to glisten in

My eyes

"Why can't you act like

An adult?" cuts through the air.

Sorry,

We need someone

With experience.

Crystal snowflakes

Burn and freeze.

It is so hard to embrace

The past

While reaching to hold on

To cling to my dreams.

I hope I never consider

Myself "Grown-Up"

Limbo is the grey of life.

Limbo is living with unknown answers, accepting the unknown,
