 ~*~ My Crystal Heart ~*~I wish to show you my crystal heart Gossamer, fragile. Mended so many times Protected, shielded Suspicious and empty. Fear rises at its very sight Like a child hiding candy I keep it out of view Hoping that guarded It will heal. Does it beat? It must For am I not alive? It lived in an abyss Cold, dark Hidden in fear. Its companions were Evil memories Tucked safely away In perfectly Sealed little boxes. It has not seen Light or love For too long. I open it With trepidation Quivering hands. But... If I show it to you Do you promise Not to drop it? ~*~ Art: Psyche Opening the Golden Box (1903) John W. Waterhouse (1849-1917)from: primnet.com Music: Twilight from: angelfire.com ~*~ Mysteria ~*~ © Copyright 2001 All Rights Reserved [This message has been edited by Mysteria (edited 03-28-2001).] |

Just A Woman: you truly flatter me that it is even good enough to be kept anywhere. It was a sad write. Marge ~*~ My goodness I can't believe that you liked something I did that much, and yes please do take it. Anything I write is to be shared if anyone wants it. Again, coming from you, this comment means more than you can even begin to realize for it is you that makes me try harder. Martie ^*^ You are too sweet, oh but where that true. Sue ~ You are too sweet, and thank you for stopping in! |

This is charmingly sad, yet precious to behold. Thank you for the gift from your boxes. "I am not now that which I have been." |
