Even as your voice slips
past the ears of my
restraint.

I hear you whisper...

"It's just one more thing to
let go of."

And I smile for this moment held in
your embrace.

Slowly letting go.

Even as...

this whisper holds...

magic.

Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen?  Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises...

Eric,  I wish I had the ability to write
such powerful "feel" is something so short,
yet so precise.

Exquisite as always!

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul

And I smile for this moment held in
your embrace.

This is so sadly beautiful.  
Is it just me who wipes away a tear~  

I really love your words, Ericc~

The best hugs last beyond the moment of release, don't they?
A keeper.
