Again You approach me with a youthfulness that has been diminished in the seasoning of my own life. "Little girl dreams" lost~~ never feeling good enough to surplant the past, with the light of tomorrow. Warmth has returned with my regrets, as I stalk my nights with thoughts to heal the legends of yesterday, whispering only to oneself those feelings held close to my heart in fear... that they shall never be returned, again. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Nothing compares to a good “stalking” (just hope there aren’t too many “Brits” reading this. Now I would say “What comes round goes round” I like the bit “You approach me with a youthfulness” You know it’s only when you get older and decide enough is enough that you have license to become youthful again…. No-one can laugh at you to any effect, you have no boss and no cares, besides you have done over and over what these young whippersnappers think is something new. You can dress more classic and be perfectly acceptable…forget about the ideal shape…be yourself..No speed records to break…. No teen years to worry about spots, couple of years here or there doesn’t really matter that much anymore… Been there done that, it’s in the bag….. now I am quite happy to watch the youngsters strutting their stuff and I don’t have to compete… Isn’t it nice being older and wiser… Eric |

powerfully emotive 'write!' I am particularly fond of the ending: "whispering only to oneself those feelings held close to my heart in fear... that they shall never be returned, again(!)" applause! |
