Fear billows Rising upon clouded thoughts A tempest of emotion Flaring upon misty breath I float within the drops Of liquid grief As a child of the rain. The twilight drapes Just as it always does But entwined within these thorns Luna's silver fingers Slip away from me. I never truly loved the light Never yearned for it's warmth Until heaven's gate closed And left me To pace the frigid darkness. The silver net of starlight Binds me to this earth As within the cold I wait Locked away From eternal brilliance. The fear of loosing The only love I'll ever know Crushes me Under silent screams The tempest rises again And I am drenched Within my soggy sorrow Do not let me drown As a windswept and forgotten Child of the rain. *Krista Knutson* ~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack, Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare, Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water, Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha |

Krista I loved this verse, being bound to the earth by a "silver net of starlight" , just the reverse of what many think, that we are the fortunate to remain here on earth. I loved the thoughts and the imagery in this poem Liz |

Krista...I hope you understand this as the compliment it is meant as...you have the soul of an old woman in a young woman's mind and body. You are wise beyond your years...what a well written piece of poetry, some of the phrases you have used are absolutely striking!! |

This is beautifully written style It held my heart there for a while So nice laid out on paper there Thanks to you to let is share Helmut The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Thank you all! And a very special thanks to you hoot and Michael. I do take it as a compliment. Many people have told me that I have an old soul. I do believe they are right. *Krista Knutson* ~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack, Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare, Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water, Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha |
