A twinkle of distant dewdrops < !signature-->Suspend within liquid dark And flit upon withered memories Where shadows make their mark. Upon tattered emerald gleam Teardrops gently streak Hiding from silver sunrays And the solace that I seek. I wander among my yesterdays Eyes falling to sandy ground Moonlight holds no comfort When saddened echoes sound. Wind whispers hollow words As lonely night consumes And I slip on the facade Of normalcy I assume. The pulsing light of love Lays weak within my soul As among my withered memories Hope silently sinks below. *Krista Knutson* As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ~*Albert Schweitzer*~ [This message has been edited by Alwye (edited 04-19-2000).] |

Beautiful poem Krista, the despairing end note seems unlike you... You're always one to believe in love, it seems to me. Great poem though, much enjoyed  Abrahm Simons "...Watching fate as it flows down the path we have chose" - Trent Reznor, "We're in this Together" |

Hey Krissa. Very beautiful poem. Like I lot of people, I can relate. and I hope you are feeling better if you were sad when you wrote this, because you are the bestist in the world! And you need to be happy happy happy! "It is in our aloneness that we recognize our oneness, even as the single droplet of water knows also that it is the sea."Daniel *Cassie Roseen* |

Thank you all so much. Abe-- I do believe in love quite a bit. But even the strongest of souls doubt love at one point or another.. *Krista Knutson* As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ~*Albert Schweitzer*~ |

Beautiful but oh so melancholy.... I love your poetry! Love and hugs, Lizzie "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

"upon tattered emerald gleam" "Moonlight holds no comfort When saddened echoes sound." Krista, this piece is so delicate, and the way you've expressed the dark descent of melancholia and futility gives it a very real and human quality. Wonderful writing. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
