Save the Light Winter, more than hibernation or than a time for seeds to rest; sometimes a spell in wait, see here, reflect, hold consequences there, in the pool of your palm where lines runnel some long, others short and I’m trying to find my life. Wondering if gray hairs might denote every mistake or just every other breath held, maybe fifty-fifty… we angle the mirror’s reflection to spot-light not ourselves, but our moves, decisions, our hurried responses; times we didn’t hurry in answering most urgent needs, but stood silent, wondering where is the damn book that would tell me yes, or no…look at his eyes, hear the tear in her throat ~ they believe their need is greater than our love… So, save the light this eve, turn off sounds and quell any music of our hearts; it is time to study once more where I went wrong, so slip me responsibility’s pill, and by dawn, maybe maybe, I will have resolved the need of then back into my spine, and count a few more gray reasons why I continue to love. |

The good news is they've (the omnipotent "they") have found out why hair turns grey and you'll be delighted to know it isn't your fault. I doubt much else is either and gee, I wish I had a smile like that. Enjoyed Poets against the war is redundant |

I have to heartedly agree with RS...and if gray denotes mistakes...well, I guess that bald is better cause it takes away a lot of "them"...hehe. Hang in there lady....there is a candle burning at the end of the tunnel...and love is eternal..though sometime wavering. |

Hi Sissie "So, save the light this eve, turn off sounds and quell any music of our hearts; it is time to study once more where I went wrong, so slip me responsibility’s pill, and by dawn, maybe maybe, I will have resolved the need of then" I have to tell you, many times you are the light...the bright place in all the dark...and yes, love is forever, in the dark it is the light!  |

So, save the light this eve, turn off sounds and quell any music of our hearts; it is time to study once more where I went wrong, so slip me responsibility’s pill, and by dawn, maybe maybe, I wish I wish, but as we know, or should by now, we are the ones responsible for our actions. Thus, we must account for them, and put them to rest as best we can. ...then swallow the pill, whole!! Your thoughts are keen, and I thank you for sharing your insight, Karilea~ |

I've come to believe that "wrong" is a nebulous word with many definitions, but feel that making the decisions we have is the best we could do at the time. Great fun to read you, as always. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

where is the damn book that would tell me yes, or no…look at his eyes, hear the tear in her throat ~ they believe their need is greater than our love… So, save the light this eve, turn off sounds and quell any music of our hearts; it is time to study once more where I went wrong, so slip me responsibility’s pill, and by dawn, maybe maybe, I will have resolved the need of then back into my spine, and count a few more gray reasons why I continue to love. Absolutely magnificent... another keeper from your pen. *S* |

“count a few more gray reasons why I continue to love.” Because: L'amore concorda tutti (Love conquers all…) Irrespective, no? Enjoyed. JL  |

Tremendous as always pretty lady...this was a lesson well learned, by each reader....back up to the top you go |
