This is for you....if you know...then you are well deserving... Slow Mississippi moon soon will pause For the coming of the haze of dawn Then the fire passion of the sunlight, But deep within the coal sky of the world An ember, like starlight gleems and winks, A glimmer of hope born of love. And on the springtime breeze roams a thanks, It crosses the distance and settles On lips that never new the chance of it. And during roaming hours it learns of other embers, But chances to shine more brightly. Not for competition of regret or pain, But for the sole purpose of reaching across a destination To a heart that needs serenity. And although the ember knows that its light will never be bright enough, There is always that glow and that hope, Born on a Mississipp night somewhere between "I love you" And "I won't forget you." Here I stand before you shining, Your ember should you ever need your hands warmed. still d-i-s-c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d |

James, I thank you for reading. I thank you more for enjoying. Sunshine, Thank you, and...I hope so. Irish Rose, Several times, eh? Thank you. It was an honor each time then. Joyce, Thank you. The thoughts just had to come. One of the rare moments when they came this way. Sven Pen, My thanks to you. I could do no less than put my heart into it, and hope that it is bright enough. still d-i-s-c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d |

Your heart is indeed very bright. I hope that you don't mind me trapsing through your archives, it's always good to read where one has been. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |
