The clouds roll in but lined in black, < !signature-->the sun is pouring through. The beauty there within the sight will take the breath from you. Do not be fooled by color fare or streams aglow from heaven. Find a safer, calmer spot much closer to a haven. When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shodows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face...

Tim....I am glad that you enjoyed this piece. Thanks. Chris.....I never could write in spanish...lol...so I guess I have to reply in English (though that isn't the greatest either.. ) Thanks for your help with this and I am glad you survived the rush. Mike.....I am so happy that you liked this. I thought I would try something a bit different for a change. |
