from underneath the willow from underneath the willow you dance for me ephemeral vision stilling my heart - already cold your laughter mimics staccato beat of evening cicadas and I stretch to catch one more moment till all is lost in moonlight’s sorrow withered pink petals lay in disarray roses on your grave unnourished by mother’s tears I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (08-08-2007 01:33 PM).] |

Oh my Ruth! It is like you wrote this for me this evening. I was in a very strange mood remembering my friend, Willow, and here this was. I shall claim it even if it is not mine if you don't mind. Take care dear lady. |

Sharon...since this piece just 'came to me' perhaps it indeed was written for you so is yours to claim  Ruth |

I thought of Sharon's Willow too--if she would share that beach pic of the two of them, I'm sure you would understand all the more, Ruth. This is a lovely, if haunting write. I'm glad the sadness isn't a personal pain for you--more from you, please?  You are quite simply one of the most gracious romantic writers here. |

As I read the opening line, I also thought, "this is for" and then there was Mysteria... as it should be, always, and forever more, every willow I see, reminds me of her friend. If Mys reads this note, then I hope she will re-embrace her friend again, and repost Willow here, for our newest members. For if nothing else, we are encircled, such. Thank you, Ruth... for bringing this to all. |
