The dragon was fought silently
In a journal every so quietly
When no one was there to lend a hand
I kept fighting and pushing for dry land
In the ocean of blackness and tears
I thought I would sink and disappear
To the rescue came a simple pen
And paper pages to write therein.  

The dragon lies defeated
The ocean, a few rain drops
The pages of a journal completed
I now can share my thoughts.

Echo and Used

Echo, is that my voice?
Swirling, turning, what choice?

Echo, it rings back empty.
A heart as cold as a river floor.

When writing Echo,  I realized the voice I had come to love in my youth was quiet.   That gentle beacon of truth was silent and I couldn't find direction.  I was lost in my own soul.  I couldn't find me.  I couldn't hear me.  Where had I gone? 
................................................................................
Dents, holes, rust, stains
Soft, gentle, warm, new
What once was alive in now used

This describes how I went into the marriage: soft, gentle, warm, new and what happened during marriage: dents, holes, rust, stains.
