I hear tomorrow in my heart, and still, I am not winning. I am lonely in the hours, and the fields all growing scarce. I see earth rolling,...I see it stretch itself in front of me, offering what it can while I wander, in search. I feel yesterday beside me. I feel the air turn again. Sometimes the change is so subtle that I slide inside unnoticed, but today,...it rocks in storm, and I can’t help but hold on to the roots I once cultivated. I spent a season pampering what I thought could fill. I felt it burn from miles away. And I am lonely, watching green fade to brown, or life once lived, to death. |

Very deep words, my friend. I can relate on many levels to this one. Tomorrow is here for us both I think.  All writing comes |

I'm not sure what to say to this one my friend, such a powerful write that leaves me kind of hollow. Excellent work, peace to you! "Let me pierce the realm of glamour |

And I heard your soft cry through the still dark night air so I've sent a rare rainbow to show you I care Go look out your window, it's hanging high in the sky over the brown fields of yesterday and tomorrow [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (edited 10-01-2001).] |

SpitFire~ I'm not always sure where a poet's words come from ... but- You've written 'me' ... oh, you've written me. I hear tomorrow ... today~ My heart hurts~ 'watching green fade to brown, or life once lived, to death.' recovery sits heavy in my heart~ I don't want to watch ... I just don't~ *Hugs*, hon~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Wow, not sure how to reply, except for that it certainly pulls at the heartstrings and that it is magnificently written as usual m'dear. hugs Maree |

What an amazing way with words you have. Can I borrow your pen? If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
