Caught in life's fires ashes left of soul rose of stone grew from outside to deep within lonely not, in solitude intense yet gentle no one's own ever cold, rose of stone ------------------ "Tread softly, for I have spread my dreams under your feet"~~William Butler Yeats |

"Caught in life's fires ashes left of soul" Nicely stated What is left after the fire has died? Only ashes of what used to be What is left after you have gone? Only a shell of what once was me ------------------ This is courage...to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends. ~Eurpides [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 10-18-1999).] |

Thank you ladies.  My first attempt at acrostics...I rarely stray from my usual free verse or rhyme. It is challenging to keep up with the talent here at passions! ------------------ "Tread softly, for I have spread my dreams under your feet"~~William Butler Yeats |

Sorry to be so late to thank you for your response...afraid real life is taking up too much of my PiP time! LOL Thanks Balladeer...didn't mean to beat you to the punch, sweetie! LOL Sure, just blame it all on Craig! Nan, your secret is safe with me!  Denise...they are, but kinda frustrating too! That of course means I have to try another one as soon as time permits! Thanks Ruth...but I haven't your flair for the truly beautiful ------------------ "Tread softly, for I have spread my dreams under your feet"~~William Butler Yeats |
