There she sits
silent now

Once dancing
beneath the summer stars
She was alive

She alone
has witnessed ecstasy

challenging the waves
at top speed
Laughing at the others
she had left in her wake

She pitied them

I pity her

For once she dared the the sun to shine
only to sit in the shade

(big hugggssssss) It is very saddening to see one circumstance always seem to break ones heart and then one will let go of ones dreams and to see a loved one sitting in the darkness is truly a saddening sight to behold! (sad sigh) My prayers go out to all who get so hard on themselves like this, this is a heartwrenchingly wonderful debut, I love it! Welcome to Passions, sweet Sue, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your lovely words, sweet friend, and be sure to check your E-mail for a very special Passions greeting straight from all our hearts to yours! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I like that thought, but the sun burns  
when it's that low in the sky.

Nice to read you here littlewing~

I hope she can dare herself now... For the sun, its assured in what it is doing and won't heed to all our dares. But we need to be sure of ourselves... so we don't need to dare others.
This is beautiful, I love watching the stars.
