Covered Buttons twenty years ago~ she wore a ten dollar dress and borrowed shoes and the only flowers in the room were from a previous ceremony ...a funeral hindsight~ a fitting beginning to a life with hells demon where the fire burned her from the inside out yesterday~ she buried the demon took the bandages off and found her heart had been encased in ice so she starting sharing her little girl dreams in midnight conversations with Luna, of a day planned long ago with Italian silk and antique lace and covered buttons down the back. Tiny white lights and a candlelit room...romance beyond her touch still filling all her dreams today and tomorrow~ now blending together as she no longer talks with Luna of unfinished wishes whispers are carried on an emerald zephyr to blanket his sapphire dreams while he waits in front of a stone fireplace in a soft glowing candlelit room they join their tomorrow's not with Italian silk, antique lace or covered buttons down the back ... but with vows from the heart and lilies and white carnations ....in hand 12/31/00 "...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. |

Beautifully written Snow. I can't help but feeling a sense of contentment in the words you have written. Life can begin again out of death. I love your signiture quote. If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us. John |
