Here, Now, Forever

0 posted 2005-08-06 03:11 PM



i dont think much of life anymore.
i've grown sad and depressed.
you've seen my smile. it's my mask.
for everything that i know
everything that i love,
everything that i see,
will one day be broken
as flowers, they compete for the sunlight.

i've grown tired, these passing days.
a fraction of what i used to be.
do you feel my love? it is real.
though people will change
buildings will topple
flowers will wither and pass
nevertheless, the morning sun rises
upon a world where aimless hearts flutter in the wind
like autumn leaves off the northern maples
where hearts are alone and sequestered in mourning

I never knew angels walked the Earth,
Until I met you, my lovely Seraphim.
I ask only that you love me
Oh, do you think you could?
Me and you have the power to change this world
For we could move mountains
spread love through the world
spread hope through the world
and one day they will say
that we were here.
They will see us and all of them will know
We overcame, and perservered
We conquered death
and took flight among the stars with our broken wings.

though it begins sadly, you end this on a hopeful note
welcome back into the blue

wow stunning release of emotions.... I hope you share it with her...

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes this art

You were conveying your feelings so well, that I myself began to feel lost and forlorn...But, then your spirit took wing and so did mine!

"We overcame, and perservered
We conquered death
and took flight among the stars with our  broken wings."

~ May both your wings heal and your spirits soar among the stars forever more!

Love & Light,
EA

I can't come up with the proper words on how this touched me...I can relate with every word..this was precious and delicate...

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

Very nicely penned...
Powerful uplifting ending.

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back
