She sat alone in the grande old mansion
her thoughts in silent reverie
as she thought about the future
and days that used to be.

The coming hot August evening
brought a certain stillness to the air
she moved to the mahogany writing desk
her hearts sadness she would now bare.

In verse she poured out her emotions
in the daily journal that she kept
the pages becoming faded and worn
from all the tears that she had wept.

She wrote of how she missed him
and of how she had loved him so
that she knew deep in her heart
it was time to let him go.

With ink and feathered quill
loves sweet sorrow she released
and this night she would have rest
her heart finally finding peace.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

*sigh* brings both kinds of tears to the heart....tears of sorrow for her loss and tears of hope for her future. A magnificent poem that I am putting in my collection. Thank you for touching my heart today.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

This is the reason we must write sometimes. I love the feathered quill. I can see its motion as she writes and the tears as they stain the pages.

Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream.

Gentle Spirit,

I giggled with Midnitesun over Lucie's lost amethyst, and now I cry with you over the loss of a love. That is truly what Passions is all about, feelings, each poet letting us into the feelings of their soul.
