Below Mercer’s lies the Blue Where she in stone sided bed Spreads her skirts to broader green And slows a bit her pace Once, I wrote of her. “Those days were bright with both the life inside of me and the unforgiving sun that reddens bared flesh too long left covered from winter’s pale” Today I thought of other pale And of eyes unaccustomed to exposure As I traveled down the last steep slope To end at Halyard’s Where I planned to begin the journey Down the stretch of her I remembered filled with storms “your eyes built clouds in me that threatened to rain dark wet drops on the dust inside, until you spoke and I felt the stir of wind” This season is unsettled Yet I wanted to show you too How it was when the lady blue moved you On currents born deep under the hills Always I knew there was a chance It would wash over you But leave you unchanged Or that the weather would change “Today” I began to write “I found that what once was still haunts the edges of this stream, but that it no longer threatens to pull me under or leave me where I can not breathe” I turned Another page of white And thought of you |

“your eyes built clouds in me that threatened to rain dark wet drops on the dust inside, until you spoke and I felt the stir of wind” WOW! How do you do it? It's easy to get me with eyes, and you did make it look easy with how well it all came together. But no, nothing easy. The whole thing is just awesome. wow... Always, Alyssa He was a man of sorrows |

Darn, I want this in book form all there page by page, but you are going to make us fight for this, I can tell right? Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it is the only thing. |
