It is Love How many times had I seen her face all drawn with pride, her sigh like a prairie wind. She tore out pieces of me then, pulled all the briers from around the path, I could see them roll away across the sand where time blew. Now she is frizzed and frayed with emotion, all blossomed and open, for she has just walked a long corridor that took her to a newborn grandson all dark curl and pinked with wail, and in her opening arms that pulled me to her in this love that we call friends, I see my own inevitable time approach. Oh, the flowers she would spread on the bed, all velvet and sweet to say something. I can see her think of the grand design that brings innocence into the world to answer questions. Yes, she understands this. It is the continuance of something that she thought she lost when she followed her heart out the door. It is love.

Now you know I know this one, (I could never write it the same), but I know it! I see you are putting your "Grammie Hat" on, and I can't wait to see the beauty that is going to explode from your heart while you are watching him and her too. For in this contentment, is a new kind of love, a whole new one to explain and write about. Bonding makes for incredibly beautiful writing Martie, this was fantastic!~I always have time to listen to someone talking from their heart~ [This message has been edited by Mysteria (edited 10-11-2001).] |
