Ramble Series ~~~ Twelve minutes to darkness did you notice, there are mirrors on the sidewalk? faith held sentence by sentence no solid ground bodies of water standing We are between worlds landing on waves water between love Have you slept on satin sheets? laying down each night on orchids & butterflies drifting above and under woven softness, storms and music become a solo preformed I can’t remember A time of such uncertainty with out keeping score, pencil in hand a scribble of numbers and letters “I have loved you all my life” a quote of sadness, just a quote With skill you danced, letting darkness fill me with wisdom I stepped back enough to translate the language Perhaps I am too abstract for your document of understanding, maybe you prefer a bigger gift touching your hands Stillness settles watching butterflies tap glass I listened from the room, you were the last word, ecstasy breaking free between daylight & midnight empty Step through the barrier of my mind, enter my soul, feel my desire, let my eyes guide you into the shadows of my heart [This message has been edited by Greeneyes (04-13-2002 10:56 PM).] |

Yes, I too like the "be-ness" of your work. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |

if I really say anthing about this. . . I'd probably shatter it. . . that's how delicate it is. . . ![]() -------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

I know the tale from which this comes, it's hard to watch, and there are words to depart my lips I too struggle finding them. |

There is a soft whisper in this, and it speaks of great tenderness. |
