Unseen faces, unheard voices
Shadows falling from sadness past
Once so sweet upon my lips
An aftertaste of chalk and ash

Unrepentant, prideful I stand
Knowing I surely know best
Yet the shades are noisome
Deaf to my pleading request

A vision of inner peace
A gentle stillness in my soul
The purest love ever known
The only one to make me whole

She was willing, waiting
How ignorant and unreasoning I
Unforgivable and grevious my error
To let such a one pass by

A foolish and irrational decision
Made without thought to the cost
Haunted and lonely do I lament
The paradise I now have lost...

How we pay for failing to bend our knees or bow our heads. Pride is a pain much of the time.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

sea_of_okc, hind-sight is a terrible thing to be right about. If only we could have "hind-sight" first, then we would know what to do first. So sorry, dear friend. ME

tis not easy being the flame.
what some never see is--
sometimes ... most times ...
they are one in the same.
