The Sigh It shutters me this breath of sigh This uttered sound of lonely why Coerced within a velvet pillow Dispersed beneath a weeping willow It is a mist that shades the clear It is the sweep before the tear It is the wallow in the green Where echoes haunt a lover’s scene It is the heavy of a levy The topsy-turvy of the bevy Smothering a wail of pain Subdued to set the web of seine And though it titillates the role It is the weeping of a soul The sadness of a censured sigh The holding back of tears of cry It is clairvoyant in the woe. It is the sear of letting go |

"It is a mist that shades the clear It is the sweep before the tear" Loved those two lines...  Morning! "sit on top of the world and tell me how you feel...'cause what you feel is what I feel for you.." |

GAWD! How do you do it every day? I'm amazed! Love this one especially, because of the bittersweet quality...the last lines (as always) are the icing on the cake |

And though it titillates the role It is the weeping of a soul The sadness of a censured sigh The holding back of tears of cry It is clairvoyant in the woe. It is the sear of letting go Seymour, this one especially touched me tonight. Thank you.  Hugs  Ethel |
