Deep, Deep Within Deep within the soul the silent longing is there, painfully, woefully stubborn, making it hard to breathe or take a deep breath. A sensation of reaching, there, down deep, holding on to the mind's most fleeting thought, discarding even love, for a brief answer to agony. How best to resolve this indisputable emotion, that centers itself into a pit of desire, not for love, but for a brief sharing of bidding well. I know the answer, for it has always been within me, but there are times where I fail to impart a sense of urgency, and the failure pains me. It is somewhat like a lonesome strain of one violin, a lingering note, reaching out for one other to hear, understand, beautiful in loneliness. For to share so much so that another is touched by the beauty of some words, this lingering feeling still doesn't let me breathe. ©KRJ 9 October 1999 Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |

by the beauty of some words, this lingering feeling still doesn't let me breathe. Can I add something more, I don't thing so The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |
