Behold the crisp mist vanishing leisurely and ever gently Like that of the sheerest curtain being softly draw away. Revealing a hushed secret in the early morning's breath As one shared only between the closest of friends. A road well traveled hiding mysteries along it's shoulder Beckoning life's weary hearts to look her well worn way. Promising a rainbow of adventure to the dreamer in life While offering hope for those who begin their end. The tall grasses along the edges wave in the slight breeze Meshing their slender bodies one with another in unison. Rivers of wind send caressing ripples across flowered fields And ancient watching trees extend welcoming arms. This harmonious scene is reflective of heaven's holy breast. Always eager to lovingly embrace the meek that shall inherit. It is a tender smile, like that of a delicate rose blooming, Adorned with a peace that passes all understanding. The crunch of gravel beneath your carefully placed footsteps Now pierces the silence, echoing onward while ringing clear. These immortal moments engraved in time pass into memories With no retracing once the song of life leaves your lips. by Mystic Requiem  ©2000 11-19-00/revised 01-12-01  |

Completely beautiful! I absolutely loved this. You have captured your thoughts completely. "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. Socrates |

Lovely imagery presented here. The thoughts that emulate through my mind when i read this are consuming. In all this though, do I sense a dark undertone? Maybe it is just me. But wonderful write. "Death marks the beginning, not the end. It is our journey to God." --Billy Graham |

to dreamkeeper: I am thrilled you enjoyed this piece. Thank you. to Sven: yea...I thought I'd share my wonderful self with ya'll. (teasing) Thanx for the welcome. I didn't realized how fast this room moves. How in the heck am I suppose to keep my replies to other's work caught up? to Paula Finn: Your sweet comment is most appreciated. to Secret Whisper: Perhaps my name throws you off. And I do write a few dark pieces. But there is no dark reflection meant in this one. This is strictly upbeat. The end to an earthly existence does not mean an end to life. In Christ...there is life eternal. *S*  [This message has been edited by mystic requiem (edited 03-01-2001).] |
