He rides across the darkened, tree filled miles Debris scatters heedlessly in his wake An empty sack blows wildly from his shoulder Nothing can stop him There is no gate strong enough to hold no moat more than a mere delay He rides harder, fiercely pushes on He feels his destiny near Illuminated by the heavy harvest moon, he spies her Abruptly he halts, and briefly ponders his intent Reaches down and wrests her trembling heart from deep within Fills his sack, now heavy with her love and turns back into the night The moon obscured, she lies in a black, moist pool of abandonment Desolate, she vainly cries to a silent wind. Miles away now he laughs... [This message has been edited by catalinamoon (edited 08-04-2000).] |

Alas, fair one, tis sad if true! T'was it destiny that placed thee in a field awaiting like fragrant blossom of night's bloom to be plucked by uncaring collector of hearts? Doth thou languish with angst when so much is left to see, to do, to feel once the golden orb of sky hath passed a few times o're head? Give'th not up all spirit, time heals wounds, and thou shall'st find in time that a rhythm doth beat with tenderness once more in the sanctity of thine healed chest. Only a slender scar will'st remain. From scars we learn, and then we move on... Take care, M'lady, Evan |

Ooooh! Chilling! I really liked this one. You conjure visions of darkness and wind in the face, of thundering hoofbeats and lost souls. Very well done indeed. Sing while you may -The Prophet Q'spel Your pain is for you alone, As it is, As it was, As it will be forever, Amen -The Prophet Q'spel |
