It was a great honor to write this with you, my love. *Abrahm *Krista The willows weep in veiled green And sway in silent prayer As the essence of eternity Clings softly on the air... Heaven's tears slide from boughs And hallow darkened land As two lost souls fade and flicker, Stumbling on shifting sand... Ashen skyline harshly swells With pain's relentless hunger Through silvered rain you call to me While dreams are torn asunder... Tormented by sulfur's scorn I plummet, broken winged Beginnings swathed in midnight pall Forging blades 'til I'm ringed... Onyx blood curves 'round your form Bathed in moistened moonlight I only hope your tempest quiets Once I'm held within your sight... Ebony shroud draws tighter Constricting frail mother's form I close my eyes and am captured Swept into leaden storm... Then 'pon your trembling note I grasp Giving strength to prevail... And woven in our melody We fly from midnight's gale. *Krista Knutson* "Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart." -Confucious |

Krista and DuskTreader~ This is as lovely a duet as I've seen. What loving thoughts fly from your pens to magically grasp the ink of another in it's embrace. WOW ! Such a lovely, lovely write. And love the presentation ! I'm impressed and captured in the midst of your phrases. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Writing from the heart and soul....from eachother's....it's evident that the two are combined as one. Beautiful work to you both...you each have your own personal style but combined you have one that is unique and can only be seen when you've joined them...a rare and special gift. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece~ |
