I can no more hold you than I can hold a shadow. Yet here I stand as my empty arms burn in the sun, chasing clouds that hold your shape then fade away. I watch dogwood blooms shaken loose by the wind and recall the way I could always shake laughter from you, even when to hear it I'd have to look into your eyes. When there are no more blooms for the wind to shrug down, nor any lonely clouds left floating across these sun-baked skies, then all will be gone and I'll be left to hold only your shadows.

A nicely written piece. Sometiems shadows are the hardest things to hold onto. I enjoyed this a lot! :-) "Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other course, no other way... No day but today" |

You always made me laugh dear. All the time. I'd just look at you and smile...and I suspect you always will..even across space, distance. Always remember what I said about seven days and magic and manna ok... You can't hold a shadow...and I really am not a shadow... thanks for this, can't find the words for it... Now, you'd better explain to Mmy about what happened to the italics J...lol  Tigger KAll obscurity starts with a danger: |

"When there are no more blooms for the wind to shrug down". I loved this line. "I am not now that which I have been." |
