you cling feverishly to reality lest your heart be taken a fool by some unkept promise of tomorrow you breathe shallow the fragrance of rose lest you inhale the thorns that may shred your soul you reach out with eyes wide open lest you be surprised by the soft, honest spirit of love that is true... do you fear me? do you not know by now the capacity of my love? you miss the puddles if you never walk in the rain-- but you miss the wonderous colors when the bow bends about the clouds.... i want to love i will love without a second breath i've been broken i've been scarred but i will not live life halfway i intend to live amidst love and if i am to live with love i will live to feel the utmost pleasure beyond the wounds of thorns... dont fear me; dont fear love... -dgvarner 2-19-01 PERFECTION has no CHARACTER... -unknown |

I love this...very nicely written..and am saving for future reading you miss the puddles if you never walk in the rain-- but you miss the wonderous colors when the bow bends about the clouds ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Gale - I have to agree with the others. This one knocked the wind out of me! And I say AMEN sister! If you weren't already in my library, I'd definitely save this one. Now get cracking on those others!To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

it shines, and I'm so glad I found you under your new name, been a rough night and this sure felt like sweet, fresh rain. God bless. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

Sorry to double post but I just read this again and it's a very diff read from where I sit today. The last time I was caught up in the romance of it all...today I am worried I may have played the fool. It is still well worth reading, again and again. |
