Traya looked me straight in the eye and said , ” Okay Traya just what is on your mind what is it that you need answers for? ” Well I was astounded how could this older me did not realize why I had questions. This whole situation was bizarre, I was here,goodness knows where, my friends had disappeared along the way . I was sitting here being asked to do great things but no one, no one had given me any straight answers.
“You’re joking” I replied, feeling my cheeks flush with rage. Traya assured me she was not and promised she would explain all as soon as was possible but for now we must get on with the job in hand.
“You’re our only hope,on you rests the future of humanity! Come on just trust me. l am you and I know what I am talking about! ” With that she grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the room.
” You’re like the saviour knight from days of yore. ” Traya the elder called over shoulder at me. ” I know this is all so confusing for you and we are asking a great deal but believe me, I , you, me we have to do this. I have done it all before and failed but I know you can do this.
No way ! My mind was screaming how could I be responsible for the whole of humanity? I must of been showing my emotions because older Traya stopped and hugged me and whispered in my ear.”We can do this , believe me we can do this, I know the mistakes I made and I will be inside your head every step of the way. ”
“What ” I shouted ” You’re , going to be inside my head “. I was shaking now. “Yes” Traya smiled, “see that button on the door”, “yes” I replied, “well” Traya smiled ” Push the Button! ”

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light.
My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.
