Somewhere... out there...

0 posted 2003-09-07 02:44 PM




Sometimes...

when all roads have been explored
and all seem to circle back
to nowhere...

Sometimes...

when all words have been spoken
and the message of love
echoes unheard...

Sometimes...

when the heart has reached out
and been left defeated
to cry...

Sometimes...

when there is no giving up
yet all that remains
is hope...

Sometimes...
         just sometimes...

the only thing left is to love
in the solitude

of silence

Sometimes...We learn to love in silence
Sometimes...We learn to heal in silence
Sometimes...We learn to dwell in silence
Sometimes...We learn to love again
                         ...in silence...

Love is a risk we all must take..over and over again...   But love....always love...never be afraid to love!  

enjoyed  

hugs, g

You are absolutely right on this. I think that this best explains my absence of late... I hope that things are okay with you, I do worry about you
