I woke up this morning longing heart aching from need for days long ago and not so long ago when we used to sit in the wakening sun on a clear summer morn and dream about you about me about us the fresh scent of melting pitch filtering through the trees to assault our senses and to this day the pine reminds me of those barefoot days where the sun whispered over our toes to crawl slowly up our legs and bathe us in warmth coffee so hot in our cups sipped gently to take the aroma in god I miss those days of mental respite the days when we laughed away trouble and forgot to speak in our gentle companionship the days when I didn't have to think so hard about the future about you about me about us when life was so much less and so much more "Our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything." --William Shakespeare |

Wow X angle, a vivid beautiful and sad recount of a lost love. Excellently written, especially when read aloud. ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. manic street preachers "Culture Alienation Borebom and Despair" "I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing" -faster MSP "And you see, I kind of shiver to conformity Did you see, the way I cower to authority, you see And my life, it's a series of compromises anyway It's a sham, and I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see" six by Paul Draper. ----- |

Aw, you sentimental ole moderator, you!  This is beautiful, Heather. I think we all share those feelings at one time or another. Johnny Mathis said it best........I miss the hungry years The once upon a times Those lovely long agos When we didn't have a dime Those days of me and you We lost along the way...... |

tx guys  I was missing having a *HOME* most of all, funny thing was....the very night I wrote that poem, I found a beautiful home to buy. And it has room for my business in it too. It's a big, old, false front mercantile building from 1888. *sigh* Sometimes dreams do come true...we should be moving in less than two weeks...weird eh!? ~Heather |
