---Solitude --- ~ Looking across the dreary expanse That was the bleak morning sky Brought to mind thoughts of you. ~ In that vast skyscape filled with The gray clouds that signaled gloom, There was a break, a brief break. ~ A break in the gloom that liberated Your brilliant light to blaze upon My soul like nothing before or since. ~ Even as the glow warmed through to My soul, thawed my once frigid heart, I knew That the break would be painfully short. ~ My joy was tempered by the sight of the Dreary clouds slowly engulfing the light. In What seemed like a moment, the light was gone. ~ Now as I look across the sky, I see no more Breaks in this gloom, it goes to the end of The horizon, as far as the heart can see, There is Solitude. |

I agree with Sunshine....very haunting. ------------------ *Krista Knutson* "I will sail my vessel 'till the river runs dry, like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky..." Garth Brooks |
