It's A Quiet Night To Cry The day was every bit the same as any other She spent the hours resting in imagination of him and her And, on the winds she whispered wishes for the two of them Wondering if there was even the smallest chance that he heard... For what seemed eternity to the heart but only a second in time Were the paths through nature they endlessly climbed Not a hill nor a mountain too steep to get up For, their strength was renewed just resting on love... She liked taking him to small waters of pastel shades Shallow enough to walk hand in hand to the other side She leads him to the uneven grounds where nature sings louder To that sound of water brushing over rocks on it's awesome ride... They stood looking over sweetly flowing pure rivers beneath Roamed the woodlands as far as the eyes could see They claimed the home of the biggest oak to swing with the breeze Then gave way to the sunset about to dance through the trees... At last darkness hung like the worlds blanket overhead And, she lies there with reality now knocking on her door Brought back by the sigh of disappointment that the dreaming is over She realizes he's not within her presence anymore... Cause sundown brings fears of a complete new mile The truth to alone that she's known quite awhile Reality finds her feeling the sadness when he is away So, with her breath of courage she tries to find him like the day... It sure felt good to be free she says to herself She's just holding on until the sun shines again The ghosts of the past own dusk until sunrise Oh, it's a quiet night to cry, once more, for him...

You describe very well the only kind of night I am aware of. Thank you for the perspective. "Sooner or later, Death makes a believer out of just about everyone." |

The ghosts of the past own dusk until sunrise Oh, it's a quiet night to cry, once more, for him... Beautiful and sad, Saunni. This reminds me of how I felt after my first husband died. ~hugs~copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Saunni, Wow...the yearning in the heart of this. I've known this only in part and that was enough. Very well done. I can't imagine this emotion you connected your words to so well is from experience. Excellent write. |

Saunni, sometimes I wish I could stay in my dreams, but others I can't wait to get out. This one was a beautiful dream. At least you had that. May it all get easier for you. Good work, ME |

took me a few minutes for me to wipe the tears from my eyes... Pure and haunting... till a few years ago you described every night and every daydream. I absolutely adore your clarity and style...and the vivid picture you painted of love lost but never forgotten. Love Light and Peace, and big hugs, Sherry Cherish the good memories past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow. |
