Quiet hands are mending, while my head breathes calmly on the sheets. The cool fabric of memory.. And for long moments I wonder if words still hold meaning if they've yet to be spoken... Within me I am aging, rings formation in my soul, counting the days until I can be green leaves again and sway in the breeze of longing. For no matter which way I've gone, the songs have always rung the same tune, forlorn and lost in echoes, stars weeping in the sky, melting, always lost in night. And though I throw pennies in each well, wishing for something more, it only brings such expected disappointment, a feeling I force my body to embrace. Quiet hands are mending, while I touch the air around me, and replay the scenes again and again, a never ending silence. |

"if words still hold meaning if they've yet to be spoken..." nodding I think they hold more meaning, while they are being formed and refined in the mind. *smile* I offer your poem as proof. (I could have highlighed the all of you) |

Your talent strokes the page with a gentle melancholy. Here's to full leaves and a sway in the breeze. |

A solace for spirit and soul comes on the quiet tone of thought, if we will pause and listen to it's song, beautifully sighed, Bloodline |

"For no matter which way I've gone, the songs have always rung the same tune, forlorn and lost in echoes, stars weeping in the sky, melting, always lost in night." Being lost is a journey I would never trade for the world. Good write. |

Dear Kaoru~ You have a beautiful mind, and such a magnificent vocabulary in which you convey your feelings so exquisitely. Sadly beautiful it is, I could feel the threads unraveling by this poetic heart tugging write you wrote. |
