How Does One Know Heard first in your voice A true commitment of choice Then a strength, underlying Pledging vows to rely on Speaking words of quiet hope Allowing peace in which to cope How does one know In the truth of you? It comes forth uncommon, In your “I love you…” To read your words No line goes unheard Even when absurd I see your smile Whether wry or real To me ~ it congeals The fact of truth’s appeal Only the past is surreal Tell me, how does one know All essentials apropos When warning signals Have melted like snow And the winter Now wends its way To a bright and Sunshiny day How does one know In the truth of you? As you speak words of quiet hope Allowing peace therein to cope Then lend strength, underlying And pledge a vow to rely on And finally, heard in your voice This truest commitment of choice This is how one knows…. write with grace, all others lose face; "Jo was very tall, thin, ... and reminded one of a colt..."

Some find subtlety in strangers some find subtlety alone Your eyes,you see everything my eyes,I see its all together now and I know. ~candlebox~ |

How does one know that true love exists when all that is heard are words that have twists and turns and s ........p ..........i ........r ......a .....l ......s to mix up one's mind. How does one know when true love they find?

Lady--what a thoughtful write...sometimes trust must wind around our heart, I think, and we must just believe. |

And even if one "knows" it takes trust and faith to accept the knowing. *S* This is a lovely thought-provoking write. |

LiW - You step out on faith - sometimes we're burned - but - It's just my opinion- regardless - it's worth the gamble- I put this in my treasure box the view is clearly one - always worth taking |

I love your work, Lady, you know I do, however, in this one I almost felt the rymning was flooding me you know? It left me almost confused in a couple of spots but then, of course that could be me! I've been in a fog for years!  Kathleen Blake "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |
