I stare
Out into vast space
Conjuring up
The expression on your face
Once I blurted
Out that deep within
I hold a valuable secret
One I hold so dear
One I doubt you shall ever hear
My body sighs
My mind cries
Struggling to compose myself
As my soul is dangling
On this shelf
High above the rest of the world
Afraid to fall
But I'm so dangerously close
Each time I speak to you
Each time I look at you
Each time I dream of you
And each time I cry out for you
Damn my frail little secret...

Sometimes you just have to lock those secrets into a straitjacket and throw away the key...  otherwise, they keep trying to come out...
Beautifully written, Kristin...

(sigh) Yes, sometimes we just have to lock those secrets in, but those that ache us to be shared have to be released carefully! (kiss on cheek) This is touching, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kristen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Nice, nice write. Liked that little bit of "desperate" that I saw in it.

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".

Wistful. I, as well as many of your readers, can identify with feelings such as these that you have so eloquently expressed
