If...
Virginia Salter

If I cry into the night

and there is no one there to hear,

am I still weeping?

If a melody leaves my lips

and drifts into a deep abyss,

am I still singing?

If I give my heart in sweet surrender

and it falls upon the sand beneath your feet,

am I still loving?

Wow, Virginia..some tough questions you have asked here...
I can't wait to see what the others say, but I "think" maybe it's Yes, Yes, and ummm.I really haven't decided about the last one yet...Hmmm, maybe I'll come back and answer that one later..hehe..

Wow~ I really liked your creative take on these age-old questions. Very clever and sad, there's much depth in these few words.

Take care,
Melissa
