“Silhouette In My Mind” by Bill Charles ~~~~ Once your presence was real and certain, your graceful elegance flowed with your radiance projecting… Your beauty was alive becoming the sparkle in my eyes, and found its way into my heart… But now I am very perplexed and still don’t know why, perhaps it is possible that I have slowly grown blind… It’s very bewildering for me to understand why you have now become, only a “Silhouette In My Mind”… ~~~~ < !signature--> [This message has been edited by Bill Charles (edited 12-30-2000).] |

Bill, one thing about silhouettes is that they don't move like shadows do. . . great poem. . . ------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Bill, This is truly beautiful! When the love we hold so dear has vanished from our lives, that person becomes yet but a silhouette, no longer tangible, but always loved. Wonderful and touching read. Elise |

It's strange isn't it? What once seemed all encompassing in our minds can become a mere vestige of times past... Nicely done, BCI... |

Evening Paula, I agree that some things just fade to silhouettes, and haunt. But at times the haunting is very real, and I'm sure that you agree. One wishes that perhaps the silhouettes would go away, but they never seem to, perplexing eh? Thanks Paula, appreciate you coming by. Evening Sven, You sure have got that correct, they do not move like the shadows. But perhaps if they did, would they be silhouettes? Thanks Sven, appreciate the comments. Evening athena4, Nice to see you again, and thanks for the considerate reply. And I believe the words that you have written are true. When one has vanished, a silhouette is always in ones mind. Thanks again. Evening Nan, Thank you Nancy for the words that you have written, as they are very true. And also for the time taken to stop here for a read. I do appreciate it. Evening Charisma, I appreciate the kind reply, and for coming by my place. |
