Empty Vase every day sits an empty vase water clean sparkles in place just the ghost of a rose bud there promised from your garden share maybe, I misunderstood the words of could, should and would you once described it to me well its tender petals I could smell they lie dormant dried in a box shut in the dark behind locks I still fill the water just in case and every day sits an empty vase just some words cut out |

I smile at this, as I thought, it's as though a flower were wishing for for flowers... A tip from the witch--empty the vase. Something empty is more likely to be filled.  I miss you honey. Drop me a line when you have the time and let me know how you are? |

So beautiful ! For a brief moment I felt the longing; the sadness. Then...I was reminded how an empty vase has far more potential than one that is full. ::smiles:: Wonderful write ! |

I like serenity's response... but mine would be... Fill the vase and bring beauty into your life... you deserve more than waiting, more than emptiness. (Mind you... I preach better than I practice *G*) Beautiful write!! |

"every day sits an empty vase water clean sparkles in place" I agree with Suthern.... fill it yourself. Life is not for waiting. The flowers will come when you are not looking for them. |
