Petal In the stillness of the night, among the falling, frozen tears, the shadow of your lips brushed mine, while your whispered promise captured my breath along with all the fears And in the wind that caresses my cheek, I hear my name escape, into the endless starry sky up above the empty night And from the clouds the angels reach and pull my name to them, and scribe across the heavens with the brightest star there is ... my name, from you, above it all ... no one can take away it's written in stars forever forever and a day And every night before I sleep I watch those angels work, a special magic just for me, from you, done with their iridescent glow And to this day, no one but me, will ever understand just what it truly means to be a ... Petal, within the Snow "...I am a river in winter, quiet in the eyes of most but deep, swift and full of life to one, lucky enough to fall through the ice. |

very nice.... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

So tenderly beautiful! This carried me through many thoughts, and though I could tell some were not the intended avenues to take, I was truly blessed by the trip. For me, there were two poems, two messages, here. Not that one could separate them into two parts. No, more that one could derive two distinctly different thoughts from a reading. One worldly and one spiritual. Lovely piece! |

Sunshine, thank you for the reply. VAS, I really appreciate the time you took to reply here and in private. You made perfect sense and I can't tell you what a compliment that is for me, to know you saw deeper than the first layer means more to me than you will know! Thank you so very much!! kindasorta, thank you so much for that wonderful reply.. although you did give me a chuckle.. as much as I love the male species, I am however a woman.. *smiling* but do appreciate you taking the time to reply ;-) Nathan... thank you so very much! I'm glad you enjoyed this. < !signature--> "...I am a river in winter, quiet in the eyes of most but deep, swift and full of life to one, lucky enough to fall through the ice.

Snow, what a lovely and vivid write. Well done! Kethry Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there. Anon. |
