A special thank you to my friend, Michelle, who encouraged me in writing this.)  The voice of a warrior dwells within you; though your victories are won from your warmth. Many have walked a path to recovery recited from your pages in bold italics. May I offer adoration for the voice you were born with; and to the aging lines and phrases that pulled, bled, loved, stroked, calmed and cleansed. Rest yourself now, rest yourself under a fire red sky and prepare for winter ice. For you were born a silent princess, sweet with the scent of orange groves, blessed from nature’s overture. And with that sound, you shaped expression. You spread heron wings to cradle others, wandered as a lilac pilgrim finding solace in the desert where the rose awaits its grave. But you are hungering for heaven, the place where spirits hover and above silver stars are their voices calling you. Yet, yours is but a whisper, still, as a bird fallen from its nest. Be not silent. You will fly again. Speak from fallen limbs and brush, clear another path through the forest, fell the tall oak- stand in the sun and give sound to the small voice within you. It is a voice that never ages, a voice that will carry you in flight. Speak! photo: Marianne Millar allwall.com -befriend yourself and you will never be alone- [This message has been edited by The Lady of Shallot (edited 10-15-2001).] |

Your friend was correct in urging you to write this wonderful piece. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
