October's quite a busy month I'm diligently growing old And you are like the wind So employed with growing cold ~*~ Winter last the sparks did fly Firelight fanned to bright Spring rain came, the fire died All left was candlelight ~*~ Little torches carried hope Each one lit the other Now I fear an early chill the taper's heat will smother ~*~ Though the embers warmed my hands and filled me with desire The story here is an old one Never play with fire ~*~ I stand amongst the ruins charred A lesson too late learned Growing old while a cold wind blows Applying numbness to the burns ~*~ In frosty air of death I inhale my own breath (c) caroline 1999 ------------------ "Tread softly, for I have spread my dreams under your feet"~~William Butler Yeats |

Emotional, Caroline. Thank you. ------------------ *Elizabeth* "Dwelt a maid belov'd and cherish'd by high and low, But with autumn leaf she perish'd, long time ago..." "Something sweet, something sort of grandish, sweeps my soul when thou art near..." |
