It was a long time ago but memory serves her better than any photograph could, no matter how often she scrutinizes, tilting it, hoping each time she might see beyond the worn border. Fingerprints pressed onto a picture cannot compare to ink-stained skies obscuring the rose-tinted air, like through glass she often viewed him. Sitting under the gnarled oak tree, photograph drifting from fingers to grass, she strains to hear music, the new wave, staccato tones their conversations made when rains, slapping limb, created rhythmic backdrops against opposing winds. Now she hears faintly the roaring of thunder composing death as the tree, like she, sits alone. Music, tonal clear & pure, |

so lovely, so sad...vivid and tender may your heart be carressed through this time, for even if it is not your personal experience, you have clearly touched the heart of another [This message has been edited by VAS (edited 07-02-2001).] |
