And Change Falls On Me We sit together, silently, under the old oak tree where leaves, baked by the hot summer sun, crisply twirl to the ground in Autumn splendor. I watch them fall, mesmerized by the cyclic nature of the world; knowing that the death Winter brings is but an intermission awaiting the beauty of Spring. Now, as we rise, arm in arm, hopes springs eternal from my scorched heart like tulips through blankets of cotton snow; and I breathe a sigh to the wonder of change. What lies behind us and lies before us are small matters compaired to what lies within us. [url] [URL=http://www.angelfire.com/pa/OriginalMinds/index |

There's a feeling of contentment Now that you are here I feel satisfied I belong inside Your velvet heaven" Depeche mode |

"I breathe a sigh to the wonder of change." As I look out at our 1st snow - covering the blemishes of fall - awaiting spring's first croci - I can only say 'thank you' for this.  |

Now, as we rise, arm in arm, hopes springs eternal from my scorched heart like tulips through blankets of cotton snow; and I breathe a sigh to the wonder of change. =================== And this is why change is measured in full circle because it is never ending. This was a wonderful visual and mental stimulus of a read and I applaud you much for reaching so deep into this. |

Ruth, Lovely writing my friend. I hope the upcoming changes in your life will bring you the happiness you so much deserve to have. This was warm as a summer breeze. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

As soon as I began reading, I could hear the words being read to me. That is a good sign! "Every man dies. Not every man truly lives." Braveheart Kathleen |
