Wall Of Ice How does one tear down a wall of ice get past ghost from the past things that tear at one's soul How can ice melt from years of fears a long worn refuge warmth from lovers night gives no relief A slow candle burns BloomingRose |

Slowly the candle of trust burns With each moment that one earns Care and respect in what one believes Taking time to see what the other sees Slowly the ice will melt in chance With the visions of heaven's dance Held in the light of friendships eye Golden sparkles in midnights cry |

Mark~ Your words ring true...thank you. Dee~ Thanks, you put a nice touch to what I wrote. Marsha~ I think you are right. In time the ice has to melt, especially with a candle steady burning. Thank you for words of wisdom. |

The ice comes down bit and bit and piece by piece . . . the same way it was constructed my friend. Interesting thoughts. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Blooming Rose, The entire piece is compelling, but I especially enjoyed the way you chose to end it...A slow candle burns...a flicker of hope inside the walls of ice. Robert Joseph |

Robert is right, it is compelling. Candles are here to stay aren't they? This is lovely. |

Tender writing Deb, this was beautiful in a very soft and sad sort of way...not sure that description fits quite right but I did enjoy it very much~ |
