last night i needed you
but you were silent beyond words
the illness that you carry
creates confusion from nothing
the covering that you use
to conceal the pain is fixed
near permanently to your face
i can not penetrate it
it holds me out and back
as you hold back your love
refusing warm comfort
i withdraw protecting myself
from your quiet dis-ease

About Me
- Cynthia Ryder
- I create bold, beautiful and powerful one of a kind art jewellery using many stones from the Bay of Fundy and surrounding region that I cut. I live in a lovely rural area of New Brunswick, Canada. Besides jewelry and rocks, my other interests include motorcycles, gardening, reading, poetry, painting and getting my cat "stoned" on fresh or frozen (depending on the season) catnip.
