Beyond the Grasp
Virginia Salter

I tried to speak my heart;
he drove off in a philosophical tangent
left me standing all alone

I felt as if I were the target
of many a pummeling stone

mournfully I stood, black as a midnight sky
above a hill in the wilderness, helplessly began to cry

if he could not be purple with passion
why not red with rage or even green with envy
or yellow with wisdom’s sage

my words seemed to fall to a space beyond the clouds
outside the pull of the earth beyond the grasp of the crowds

Only a couple more days of full moon. Hope the communication channels open up soon. ()hugs().

thanks, latin passion, but I have to admit this is fully contrived...although, I really think I've felt this way in some piece of my past.

Things sure get crazy sometimes, don't they?
