Another Ramble of the mind-- ~~~ I could travel through decades In a few steps, launch myself Into complete darkness of vast Waters and shimmering Islands lost in faith Sliding, melting Into horizons Tonight the clouds will Roll the winter sky And the earth below Shall mirror the reflection Of a bitter white blanket And frozen dreams I know the silence, The real silence Of a chambered heart that Wants to dance among Orchids and smell your skin On mine In the mandolin wind I wanted to touch everything I thought it might be As easy as walking Into the sea So I held my hands out Closed my eyes But I was younger then And I remembered hearing The music outside each night Realizing I have long forgotten The silent child That loves to Dance [This message has been edited by Greeneyes (edited 11-28-2001).] |

*sigh* life teaches us to bury the child who believed in magic and had faith in true love. How sad it is when we learn what real silence is and can no longer hear the child's whisper of magic even in the cold realities of a winter morning. **hugs**Magnificent writing. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

I know the silence, The real silence Of a chambered heart that Wants to dance among Orchids and smell your skin On mine In the mandolin wind I wanted to touch everything I thought it might be As easy as walking Into the sea So I held my hands out Closed my eyes But I was younger then And I remembered hearing The music outside each night Realizing I have long forgotten The silent child That loves to Dance ==================================== you know...that I know....that you know--I KNOW. *sigh*(of recognition and reflections) you dance across my mothy heart with your beautiful soul poetry. your every word touches in places deep. heart-hugs dear poetess L  he said ... "dont cry" ... |

Greeneyes - your writings are very romantic, very telling, and very touching. The more of them I read the more I want to read... And yes, it's wonderful... BC |

Timeless boundaries ... sometimes even if the urge is to escape, its motion is the dance. You can ramble to me anytime!!  |
