Faith drains away In rivulets of pain I leave façade of shelter Embrace the icy rain The scorch and sizzle Stink as lightning flashes But flesh survives Only dreams are ashes I time my screams To coincide with thunder But with none to hear I am left to wonder Why I stand in storm Just to hide these tears That empty my heart As hope disappears |

Well written gal...some times wind from storms will dry tears?....or, you can always take a few more number three's?....Love the way you can make the words do your thoughts |

I read this earlier today and was at a loss...still seem to be so I will just let you know I was here... and you know that I know that you know I know. |

"I time my screams To coincide with thunder But with none to hear I am left to wonder" And all the rest of it! This is utterly beautiful, Laura....in spite of the biting sadness and doubt in it. This one is going directly to my library....seems like you just get better and better. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Ruth, Because you know...this too shall pass. I wish faith, joy and love for you dear friend. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
