Loves Sweet Sorrow part three
To Face The Day

Dressed up in shades of mellow
upon her day she did embark
outside the sun was shining brightly
but still inside her heart was dark.

She sat poised up in the carriage
with duty she took her daily ride
a painted smile worn upon her lips
while hiding pain that flowed inside.

She looked out over fields of cotton
as the dust clouds drifted out behind
struggling to reason with herself
his memory returning to her mind.

Riding past grande ole river banks
the coachmen guided them to town
with gloved hand she waved to all
no, she dared not to wear a frown.

Ladies and Gents were passing by
parasoles, tipped hats, "How do you do?"
with curtsy and reply she'd say "I'm fine"
but inside her heart was turning blue.

Then somewhere amongst the crowd
his strong voice ringing out to clear
her heart made it's silent retreat
with soft shedding of single tear.

Her heart beat then did quicken
when his way she cast her glance
and her heart slowly died inside
he in love, with his new romance.

Bred with southern grace and pride
subtly she turned to walk away
the smile fading from her lips
not to make a return that day.

The journey made back from town
once again passing cotton fields
giving in to loves sweet sorrow
once again her heart did yield.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

She is so lovely....I guess I'd have to run him over with the buggy! But she is a Lady...and you are painting her in perfection. Her perfect poise, and Ladyship are evident in this...even with a broken heart... More!

Sincerely,
Regina

I fear that I have been gone to long. I must go read the rest of this saga. This is beautiful with such sorrow and pride presented. I could see the dust rising behind the carriage. Wonderful images. *s*
