I remember the special way she had of calling out to us, beckoning us to return to her soon. We spent precious time in the bright of day by her side, living, laughing, and loving. Years passed by and time did not just wear us down, but we could see that it had also changed her. We aged, as did she and time marched on. We slowly slipped apart and she drifted further and further away leaving me with a feeling of emptiness. In the warmth of summer nights we listened to her gentle song. When she sang it was a magical, spirit soothing lullaby. We were touched by her grace and sadly enough, the time that we shared with her far to short. I go there in my mind and recall those days. I can hear your voice in the distance, it is faded now having lost its clarity in the years before But, her voice is still clear. If I close my eyes I can see her, feel her spirit and I can still hear her song and for those few moments I am there again living, laughing, and loving on the banks of Kettle Creek. {Inspired by Cpat} The greatest beauty on earth, is found in the hearts of those who love.... |

Skyshine I have found that some do, but some seem to last forever or else just get jogged to the surface from time to time. Thank you gal. |
