I know when every bough will break, and when the sadness falls, when crying stops and madness waits, I know, I've seen it all. On every leaf-strewn avenue, among the lamppost's mellow light, she hides the wasted dreams from view, to linger gently in the night. Upon a yellowed page, I found, a diary streaked in fear, and there I knew that I was bound, to carry every tear. And hold the hand that held me true, the warmth and fresh sweet scent, of honeysuckle 'fore the dew, an angel's smile, my recompense.

Oh, this is hauntingly lovely - so filled with sorrow - I've been there, and your powerful words moved my inner soul. You put it beautifully. Thank you for sharing. The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G. |
