The night sky is very clear There is a full moon up above I wish that you were near That I could feel your love I seek out the brightest star Shining with all its might I ask to be where you are On this peaceful night Setting all other things aside Nothing would matter but us Swallow a piece of your pride Show a display of trust You know the love we'll make Would be the absolute best A tender display of give and take That could rival all the rest Instead I have to accept That I am here alone All my tears have been wept Now my heart is hard as stone Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

LW~ such quiet sadness in this one. i can feel the pain and longing through every word you wrote. i too am experiencing similar feelings on this night. take care m'friend. amy  "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

Amy....That is exactly how I feel. Sorry to hear you feel the same. My thoughts are with you... Rich....Thank you. I knew there just could not be a fluffy ending here.

Lone Wolf, I can feel the longing within these words... Instead I have to accept That I am here alone All my tears have been wept Now my heart is hard as stone Remember, Tomorrow is a brighter day I'll try to catch you on ICQ tomorrow All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

Peppermint....perhaps we have similar souls. Thanks, I am glad when people feel the emotions behind the words. Sven....Thank you, I am not sure if it is stone yet or not, but it sure feels like it at times. Yes, that is how I feel. Wish it could be a reality sometimes. SF....Awe, thanks. My heart just pours out of the pen. Probably the only thing that has kept me sane. Hope to catch up with you online real soon. Jeffrey....Yes, there is much longing. I remember my friend. Hope to get you on ICQ too. Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

Hey Lone Wolf I don't think your heart is as hard as stone. Because I can read what you post here. I think you can write about sadness like a lot of us can. Nice reflections great poem! |

LOne wolf this poem is filled with such tenderness and sadness that I know these words did not come from a "heart...hard as stone." thanks for sharing, a wonderfully written poem. ------------------------ "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. "Art is a lie which makes us realise the truth." Pablo Picasso "We Irish are too poetical to be poets, we are a nation of brilliant failures" Oscar Wilde ----- |

You know how sometimes you hear a song that touches your soul and it feels like it must have been written with you in mind and just knowing that someone understands brings a tear to your eye...thats what your poem did for me. Your emotions are beautifully expressed. |

Lone Wolf~ I have felt these words.....it's so hard, but you know your heart isn't really hard as stone, or you couldn't write with such emotion. This is very good, I hope your heart heals soon. -SEALive,Love,Laugh :) ~SueB |

LW I can feel your hurt and disillusionment in this. Heart of stone? Well perhaps for a time it will harden but a heart such as yours could never stay that way. Hang in there Hon, things are bound to get better |
