I stood at the summit peering across the great divide Was there a way to reach you? touch you? Be near you? fear denied the possibility of any answers I walked away, as you did for an eternity twenty days from now found me here, in this spot trying to inhale the peace once surrounding you recapture feelings, touch the sun somehow recall with crystal precision the essence of you your place, now filled with endless shadows a series of doors leading no where, mocking me Memories: Faith... for you, I'd braved the unbaring of my soul confessions that so often left me alone & lonely unsealed for your inspection to muse over & consider to pick apart, analyze good or bad, beautiful and ugly yours because I'd loved you Twenty days from now I'd bury the past & look forward to "we" sailing upon a sea of trust a friendship of budding more We had to endure as the alternative would be no less than an incurable mess of mangled heart & feelings So, "we" set sail & cruised the possibility of twenty days more even when the winds of change blew chill across barely there promises I held on to the fragile thread of maybe how foolish The fall from such delirious heights ripped precious breath from my lungs shattered fragile belief in self leaving me nursing a broken heart recovery, a slow, bitter process afforded time to ponder even wonder, why? Healed: At the summit proud, tho disconcerted forgiving with misgivings certain with a conviction that once eluded me I have learned the secret gained with it, power that no matter how sincere or intense the feelings it is not always reciprocated even as pity fills me for the uncertainty whispering from where your shadow dances somewhere across the great divide twenty days from now, will you really remember? ~Tier 12/98 |

It is easily apparent that while written almost four years ago, this poem still has great meaning for you today...this is a Keeper, Tier, as I am sure I will read something different from it every day... |

  (smiles) WOW!!! I agree with Karilea, to me this poem is much more than an double-edged sword; it has so much more meaning and thought and I believe it can have multiple meanings of introspection and faith every time we read it over! (kiss on cheek) This is fabulous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tiersdin, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Twenty days from now I'd bury the past & look forward to "we" sailing upon a sea of trust a friendship of budding more We had to endure as the alternative would be no less than an incurable mess of mangled heart & feelings So, "we" set sail & cruised the possibility of twenty days more Damn, Tier...impressive! |
