Walking the Plains of the Past Having lived so long before, knowing I’d been taken by amour would not surprise me any more having you show at portal’s door of this, my shadow’s past, nor to see your shadows cast aside dreams of yesteryear, nor to feel your calming near I am rootbound in this, my green that causes me to see, come dream, of all of those other days as I seek beyond vast of haze midwest about me plays Having discovered this long ago that I was here in flesh, still, so some hundred years or more, I know Having trekked forever’s mile along planes of time coming home after awhile to that which is mine See yon house my feet e’er tread walked to claim, my own homestead, turning corners knowing where each footfall on stepped stair would creak, as lumber strong has gone weak Carried through rooms recalled yes, I know them well, my beloved halls paintings hung portraits smiled glassed knobs on doors held my warmth awhile Not sure when, but long gone cold, seek then trunk in attic’s hold to be opened, brought down, now see a wisp of girl in sepia’s brown smiling to recall dreams of futures’ when This is me, my yesteryear, having traversed plains that call me back this is me, and I am near walking plains of the past ~*~ PhotoArt: K R Jungel [This message has been edited by Sunshine (06-29-2002 06:53 AM).] |

(sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I know the feeling of seeing a particular place we spend so much time in and getting that nostalgia! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Hey there you little legal eagle, I knew this..... "Having trekked forever’s mile along planes of time coming home after awhile to that which is mine" You're really traveling through many excellent portals in this one.........Oh you're good! |
