How can you forget The greenness of the valley The lush grass we lay upon The sunshine that warmed us so? How can you forsake The warmth of this love Forget not yet, forget not this The power of that fateful kiss! If it must be, I'll let you go If there's no choice, it must be so. Though who or what has been my foe I guess that I will never know. I'll gather up my tattered pride Hide my tears down deep inside Stand up tall, let my arms fall Pretend I haven't lost it all. Though nothing's left alive inside I'll lift my hand (I will not cry) Godspeed, my love. Goodbye, goodbye!!! Peppermint Life is a Wheel |

Thank you SEA; funny how we try to be brave at times like that... It's good to try to put a period and move on... Pepper "I honor the place in you, that when you are in that place, and I am in that place in me, we are in the same place" Ram Dass |

This was truly exquisite work Peppermint, the sincerity of your weave and the excellent touch of emotion is what poetry is all about...these moments show how much we love them...to wave without tears and as the move out of sight we let those tears fall where only we can see...beautiful writing~ |

Thank you both for your comments....I've finally grown enough to know that sometimes you have to say goodbye... Pepper "I honor the place in you, that when you are in that place, and I am in that place in me, we are in the same place" Ram Dass |

I sometimes wish I could place that period... To Be Free or Not to Be Free... That Is The Question I am free to move on free to be me only I don't even know which me to be. Am I the one who is sweet to them all, or the sensual me who lets down my wall? Am I the one who is sad half the time, and the other half loving as I dream in my mind? Or the one who is angry and voicing my rant, as frustration becomes me and I write in rhyme chant? I am free to go on, don't know where that shall be. I have never felt tied yet I've never felt free. Says I'm free to move on now, forget what has been. No choice left for me don't know where to begin. So I wonder the meaning of freedom for me, as I write all my words and express to feel free... ~Wynter *very nicely expressed peppermint "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Yes, this is very sad, but yet I sense a peace about it, I hope so if needed. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |
