Look Within Look within a flower can you see where she keeps her scent And if you listen to an answer why do you ask what it meant Where do rainbows go when they fade away from out the sky What is the real meaning when my heart now questions why Shouldn't I take love on trust and just hope that things will be Or should I always enquire before I embrace loves beauty Didn't I see beyond the sparkle of loves star dusted dreams Or shouldn't I question loves seemingly careless schemes Peer into the mist and catch a glimpse of a unicorn flying past Or if you miss the sight can you tell where it was standing last If truth is always real why do lies feel so sweet when they sigh Or if I ignore this truth for how much longer will my heart cry Should I face the consequences of only looking with my heart Or should I tell myself it's time and past to make a new start Could my spirit have heard a different singer singing loves song Or would I have found it easier if I'd known love faded all along If moonbeams dance in my eyes and I heard the angels call me And rainbows scattered dreams why can't I live forever in beauty To awake from a dream is very hard when the dream is so warm And it hurts so that I almost wish that this love hadn't been born But then I'd never have heard the sounds of wonder or delight I'd never have seen the stars dancing or felt the heat of night Memories are precious they'll stay forever threading my days When love calls to me again I pray that this time she stays Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Marsha, this is you at your slushy Mushy best, your heart is radiant with Phoenix fire. Rise up and take your place amongst sisters of the Phoenix, no longer are you Cinderella and soon your prints oops prince will come. write on in song Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life.

Dear friend, this is beautiful and very well related to...... "To awake from a dream is very hard when the dream is so warm And it hurts so that I almost wish that this love hadn't been born But then I'd never have heard the sounds of wonder or delight" Hugs to you sweet sweet friend, true love will find you soon...... -SEA |

Wonderfully expressed from your heart my friend. It is when you quit wondering and asking questions that all is lost so never be afraid to go in search of new answers. Very well written though it is sad. I hope you find your rainbow soon. |
