A dying flame trapped within a wall of glass As I stare into the fading fire it begins to speak to my heart...............It tells of a lifetime of hopes and dreams never to be fulfilled...........yet it speaks of an undying spirit- a spirit that will never stop believing As I listen...I become lost...lost within the fire and the story it tells......... The voice slowly........fades........as the flame gives in to death.........but its story of undying faith will forever burn within my soul... -vlraynes A special relighting in remembrance of the past year and with hope for a bright tomorrow. A very Happy New Year to each of you.  "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truly met the poet." ~vraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (12-27-2001 06:49 AM).] |

Vicky...this is wonderfully done...and cleverly as well...and your message sparks of hope and reminders of things we must not let be forgotten...made me think of the hope and promise of the Statue of Liberty's torch and the spirit of the Olympic torch. Happy New Year to you too dear poetess...we all heal together as one. heart-hugs jm You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost in everything I do. |

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, this is moving. Yes, we should always, always remember that our lives, people in them are fleeting, precious. We must guard them with everything we are. iambic- |

I love the way you’ve penned this. The imagery in the words, the way you’ve put the images on the screen, incredible Vicky. And may the new year bring the greatest of joys to you, and those you hold dear. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
