You Are My Challenge you are my challenge one that I shall not defy for I shall take you swiftly while looking you in the eye a most worthy challenge but not a trophy for my shelf for as I take the "you" upon I learn then more of myself for you have made me reach out and embrace yet more to me 'tis no struggle yet to giveā¦ yet each day a skirmish to live but for you, I shall enter the fray and seek the challenge of your light for you are the challenge of my day, and I, your sweet reward of night |

for as I take the "you" upon I learn then more of myself ================ but for you, I shall enter the fray and seek the challenge of your light for you are the challenge of my day, and I, your sweet reward of night ============== indeed... your golden rays of wisdom are shining dear poet of the sun... and its very cool Strange ... the desire for certain pleasures is a part of my pain. ~Kahlil Gibran~ |

Oh, Karilea, This is magnificent..... I love the idea of learning of ourselves as we get to know someone else! That's how I've always thought it was, and you expressed it better than ever!! Love your writing.....never stop!! Live...Love...Be grateful for both!! |
