Searching ~*~ I fathom that I'm searching I can see someone looking in the shadows Ohhh that's me outside of me, looking in ~*~ it's just there, within my grasp but I dare not breath I cannot dispel the air for fear that something will disappear ~*~ corners, going around corners hearing the footsteps the laughter in the distance a vacant warmth just eluding my arms and that emptiness lying hollow in my heart ~*~ it's nearly here, within my grasp but I dare not blink I cannot even begin to think for fear that something will disappear ~*~ if I ride the tornado, will it bring me to the end of the search ~ or if I board the carousel will I ride on to grab the ring ~ if I walk through that wall of fire will I hear the angels sing? ~*~ it's well-nigh come, within my grasp but I dare not wish I might get what I want, and fear that someone will disappear ~*~ but if the shadows part as the sun breaks the horizon's crust of night and stars, dreams and dark, will I breath in touch skin see you? ~*~ [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 12-02-2000).] |

I believe I always like what you write - but sometimes, as now, a work of yours hits me with such force, even "I love this" is totaly inadequate. this to my treasure box and top of the heap! |

it's well-nigh come, within my grasp but I dare not wish I might get what I want, and fear that someone will disappear ======================================== What he said, and then some. Please breathe, we need you. Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |

Captivating, utterly captivating! It has begun an idea for a verse in my mind. Gotta go write it...thank you for this lovely piece and for the inspiration, too! Now, breathe, breathe, breathe! |

Mr. Yeats, your use of the word "force" blew me away...I will keep that thought long...thank you... Interloper...what you said...now I shall begin to breathe...thank you... Virginia...you're welcome...I'll look for it...if I don't find it, nudge me... Sven...yes, I think you do...I think I do too...thank you... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Excellent questions posed here, sunshine...ones that many of us have had at one time or another. Each of us must find our own answers, I suppose.... |

Kari, you hold within your soul such clarity, such wisdom that you need never fear, not ever. You shine like a beacon which is why you are pure Sunshine and why you are loved, wholeheartedly. Fly high kid  believe me you can, truly you can. It goes without saying that I'm waving my little flag and shouting Go Kari Go. And I love this one too. This is utterly outstanding work, (trust me, and don't say you don't when I say that, you sound like my sisters )Take care Majestic Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

'Deer, thank you for reading...I think I have failed in this attempt to show the reality of a dream, the movement from one place to another in that dream in rapid succession, and when the questions of the day invade our subconscious during the dark...and you are correct, I've not asked anything different from anyone else...and we all must answer our own...but I hope you enjoyed it, regardless....thank you... Marsha...I trust you...I trust you...{~,^} thank you!... Thank you Wynter... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Yes, sunshine, I enjoyed it very much... We don't always have to answer our own..we just have to find answers. Sometimes we have help... |
