With trembling hands and chills Out the door she flew Whirling the staircase flat Breathlessly streaking down the street Pushing the deli door open Flinging shop bells in a fury She confronted Mr. Fetherall Barely able to squeeze a sentence “Did you...send me flowers? I received...the sweet rolls This morning..early..Thank you Flowers...Lilies...White? Mr. Fetherall wiped his hands On apron and came round counter To greet her...steady her He could sense her shaken soul “My child...I’m sorry..No Flowers I just thought you’d love a treat I wanted to wake you with gift The sweetest morn I have to render” She exhaled in uneasy confusion Unfolding in the comfort of his voice Gently, he began to understand The mysterious floral fancy “You know...I’ve known you Since a tiny child, And your Mother She was the most beautiful flower Even though she abides among the Saints” “Her spirit dwells Amaranthine In you... Please do not close Your passion flower to the world Someone desires to witness your bloom” “The Angels are smiling on you Bronte..Your walls must come down. Climb them as your Mother did As the wildest Rose of Ireland!” Tearful hugs in departing His graceful offering remained the deepest well of her day She dipped in and out of his wish |

Regina, the eighth and closing stanzas standout for me, as the intrigue of "Bronte" continues. Willie B [This message has been edited by WRBreezin (edited 10-21-2001).] |

you're walking with her in your dreams aren't you?? I feel that there will be more indeed my friend. . . for she has much to say. . . and you are her voice. . . ------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
