Sorrow shines on my countenance and a thousand timbers fall to rest in kindling passion, as duty meets the call Hear the pipes of freedom ringing in my heart at last burning with the rhythm of believing I am worthy of this task Of finding, learning, and loving you will you guide me gently home? for where you are is my harbor your verse gathers life from stone You are beauty, intoxicating fuel to a dying ash given notes to a dying warrior the portrait behind the mask. You perpetuate a moment touch remembrance to time in your strength I find a season from your pen I hear my rhyme To know you exist in this world is a spoken weeping flame and yet I only know your words, your face, your name I gaze through the embers now and see through ancient eyes emotions and love I endow for a woman, divinity's prize [This message has been edited by Highlander (edited 11-10-2000).] |

Highlander, with each new piece I read, I am so happy you found your way to "passions" this was stunning!!!!!!!! Look within the heart of a poet, and you will see a reflection of their soul. |

The skirl of the pipes echoing across misty glens..calling to that warriors soul...I see you standing there...your kilt flaring about strong legs...a Highlander a Highlander Don't close your eyes to the possibilities |

this is the first I've read from you and I love it So beautiful specailly "Hear the pipes of freedom ringing in my heart at last burning with the rhythm of believing I am worthy of this task" Keep writing Sometimes you have to let go and move on, But never let go of the memories. |

Ah, passion flows from your pen today. "She" is out there, my friend, of that I am sure. Great poem. Michael |

Romance at it's best definitely. Lovely write and I am sure you will find that come soon if you have not already. All love is written in time and if it is a true love then it shares the boundaries of lives past and present. |
