She is the song of the morning thrush, The hum of creation at the break of dawn, She is the moon and the midnight's hush, Hours before the day is born. She is the sky of azure blue, The forest and the deep sea swell, She is the wish that never comes true, The sound of coins landing in empty wells. She is the raindrop on a desert rose, The change that lands in beggars' hands, She is the secret no one knows, The truth hidden in every grain of sand. She is the sound of supernal choirs, The pearl born from the oyster's grit, She is the good in cheats and liars, The true amongst the counterfeit. She is the golden haze of the sun, The wandering star that transfixes your eye, She is the race that can never be won, The smile that caused a thousand sighs. She is the letter you could not send, The words that choked inside your heart, She is where I begin and end, And I will wither when we part. 'Humankind cannot bear too much reality' T.S.Eliot |

If I haven't welcomed you, Welcome! This IS exceptional. It's so honest and it breathes. Some poems don't, this one did. And may I add...every letter written should be sent, in my humble opinion. < !signature-->"When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey.""

Sigh...If you're not careful, you'll have a bevy of female fans, fanning themselves. Of course, I am oblivious to such female foolishness! I certainly didn't feel the beauty, the openess of heart in this poem. Okay, so I lied! Great work and welcome. Corinne |

Hello, Tony. I don't believe I've seen your work before, as I've not been around for a bit, but please allow my late welcome to Passions. This piece is fiercely delightful, what an inspiration "she" must be to you. Thank you ~ Rainydays |
