"Ashes & Dust" Years of pretending I had moved on And that the pain had begun to ease Now has been blown away All that remains is ashes and dust Every-thing else removed by a powerful breeze Never did I think you would contact me Too many years have passed on by But when that phone rang Tears of sadness, anger, and happiness Flowed freely, and I let my soul cry Really thought I didn't care any longer Whether you cared or not But I realize I lied to myself That all years did was complicate things So many feelings have been buried deep in my heart You cut me so deep so long ago Piercing my soul and heart with that jagged knife I learned how to say goodbye Learned it quite well in fact Head held high I moved on with my life However, I didn't...it was just bittersweet lies My soul and heart is still locked by chains Now you have come back to start anew? The tears that I cried and years I spent forgetting you Was it for nothing? Now that dust and ashes are all that remains As quickly as you came, you left into the black of night Leaving me with broken pieces of my heart once again I just needed you to know My forgiveness I give to you freely Now I will pick up the pieces as my heart begins to mend Turning my face towards blue skies I let the sun kiss my face, as the pain slowly passes Praying with all of my heart That when the storm is over Something more remains than dust and ashes |

Amy, that breeze is known as a sirroco... < !signature-->and I am here smiling on you...  and this is for you: www./pip/Forum42/HTML/003102.html Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 11-15-2000).] |

Amy, this is so full of your feelings, full to the brim of all this emotion that has been stired up. Amy love, I'm not going to give you advice, because one it's useless at a time like this, and two you are going through this and I'm not. It is pointless for me to say slam the door on those feelings and bury them again. Not least because that only causes them to fester and turn into wounds of deep pain. All I will say is if you need to touch some reality and with someone who isn't so close to the situation to see a bit more of the whole picture please remember that you have a world of friends here. Please feel free to call me at any time, I may not be able to do much, but I can listen with the best of them, it's my job you know. (I run a switchboard, do nothing but listen all day long.  ) take care of yourself and your love, you will come through this, it won't be easy but you will come through I know.This is so well written, wonderfully well written. Take care Mushy Marsha Warm hugs to you |

Ah, you are not alone in the face of such pain. I have felt this pain before myself, though I can not imagine being thrown into the pain again by reuniting with him. I give you strength and energy, dear, to survive this. *Smiles for you* With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free.. dragonpoe |

Turning my face towards blue skies I let the sun kiss my face, as the pain slowly passes Praying with all of my heart That when the storm is over Something more remains than dust and ashes ========================================= It has. It does. It is you ... all of you. A very wonderful and talented you. Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |

'Turning my face towards blue skies I let the sun kiss my face, as the pain slowly passes Praying with all of my heart That when the storm is over Something more remains than dust and ashes' Aim, this is beautifully written. Loved the ending! *HUGE HUGS* to you, my friend. You are a strong woman, and there is nothing you can't overcome. Listen to me, getting all mushy. But, really, this is a powerful expression of your heart, and it was a wonderful read. So, you know that if you need to, you can always ô¿ô!  Love ya, girlie! sp I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe until you're resting here with me... |

Amy, I am touched by your emotions in this poem. Please remember to email me if you wish. I do have good listening abilities. Take it easy. "You cut me so deep so long ago Piercing my soul and heart with that jagged knife I learned how to say goodbye Learned it quite well in fact Head held high I moved on with my life" That last line says quite a great deal. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

As quickly as you came, you left into the black of night Leaving me with broken pieces of my heart once again I just needed you to know My forgiveness I give to you freely Now I will pick up the pieces as my heart begins to mend Turning my face towards blue skies I let the sun kiss my face, as the pain slowly passes Praying with all of my heart That when the storm is over Something more remains than dust and ashes =============== "My forgiveness I give to you freely Now I will pick up the pieces as my heart begins to mend" your already half way there sweetie... and you are much stronger than you know ... I'v already seen your strength too many times ... the reasons of why will be answered in time ... and you will accept them with your usual grace ... love to you sweetie me Some things cannot be explained by verses that rhyme, They are not measured by the commitment of time. Some emotions run too deep to be described by words, Forgiveness and understanding ... remain the most beautiful words ever heard. jm |

I could feel the tenseness of your reunion after such a terrible hurt....but that's good writing when you can make the reader share your perspective...This nervousness jumped out of your lines and filled me with anticipation of the outcome....great how you used the title words to make the seriousness of your situation stand out...I like this very much!! |
