Sailin' Away

[starzrider]

Leavin' my family, leavin' all my friends
My body's at home but my heart's in the wind
Where the clouds are like headlines on a new front page sky
Tears are salt water and the moon's full and high

And I know Joe Conrad is gonna be proud of me
Many before me who've been called by the sea
To be up in the crow's nest and singin' my say
And shiver me

I'm sorry to hear about your mother's attempt to escape, and everything that happened afterward. Hopefully she had some happy moments after being released. Life can be so complicated, so baffling, and so hard sometimes.

I wouldn't say she had happy moments, Steps, but she seemed more at peace in a lot of ways. Thanks. And I agree--life is baffling.

It was a really crazy time for all, Cat, because Dad was having a simultaneous psychotic break too--will have to go back thru my journal and see if I have written about that one (he had so many). Wouldn't it be marvelous if we could take our soul pain and just pull it all out and leave it somewhere and skip off, free??? You are more than welcome for the PM. It won't be the last!! *Hugs*
