Would thou offer but a brief respite? Even under temporary conditions, Is not a moment still a moment? If that is all thee have To hold onto, Would not that count just the same? Many times thy gaze lay disturbed, Troubled by unconscious thought And of toils too many to tame Rest seems an unattainable thing Yet the power lies ever Just below the surface within Thy peace and comfort Used to be held steadfast But before your eyes, slipped away Taken on the wind with incense Borne of sleepless offerings, And onto wishes of another day Thou art the catalyst for inspiration For even a moment, if not eternal Thus the words, a seductive proliferation Given the choice between The hardness of unfinished stone Sought for most rare and coveted value, And softness as the sky itself, Thee would be all of this Polished lovingly a softer shade of blue |

This likes me...even in shades of blue...[I'm a green fanatic...] but this...this is lovely... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

A moment is still a moment and if that is all one has to hold onto then grasp it, delve into it, savor all that thee may discover within it and if rest be thy wish I wouldst give thee the comforting arms to lay in, the softened touch to soothe thy brow, the words to gently rock thee to sleep and when thou awakens, Ye shall know the moment had been.... I loved the "Sapphire"...and the style in which you wrote...thank you  ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Thank ya'll so very much. And to think my favorite color is actually a deep shade of black. Or is that really a real color? I get confused. |
