To ForgetI want to know the night will stay, is ours to hear and think on, to start from only this moment and none before. I want to know the music of your footsteps falling toward me, fluid within my own soft sadness, audible only to me, to you. I want to forget, to be blind of the places where you are apart from me, unaware that these are your hands and not my own, that there is space and air and breath between us, that we are only two and not one. Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Claire~ 'I want to know the music of your footsteps falling toward me' Now just how pretty is that thought ??? Nobody says it quite like you do. Lovely ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

If we could only go back and begin anew, the possibilities would be endless. Unfortunately, life does not work that way. Nice write, Claire. All writing comes |
