The night is dark,
and I see no way forward,
two mountains over from the Great Stone Faces
I sit before the fire,gallant in it`s effort to destroy the night
I think of Us, and can not reminisce.

It is colder than I imagined,
and wilder than thought,
the trees seem silent not wanting to disturb me.
I think, if you never are, why will you always be.

Most measure in days and years,
I am pleased with Spring flowers, and Winter`s breath,
another season ends.

If you are thousands of miles above,
maybe drop that mental letter to the sea of trees below.
I should have found a way to go forward,
but its the thought.

It might sound child-like but let me believe
some have carved hearts,
names or initials,
and found someone
when the need so great.
Pick a heart
when all hope is spent
a little miracle to save it.

In this letter is good will,
set as the sail
on a small wooden ship
bound for a mile, or a far off sea.

Two mountains over from the Great Stone Faces
Winter diamonds grace a path.
I have knelt beside crystal edges,
dark pools, where the waters begin.

Rest my hands
as the river whispers,
believe"
that kind word is sent on it`s way...Vincent

'I think, if you never are, why will you always be.'

umm nice musings.  Questions with no answers.  East or west of the mountains?  The Dakotas where I was born and raised or Washington state where I am now.  South Dakota, one state down from my native North Dakota.  We're so glad you're in our corner.  Love, Joyce

lovely images here.. my favorite:


Winter diamonds grace a path.
I have knelt beside crystal edges,
dark pools, where the waters begin.
