Madame, here is where I've taken this to as I was telling you about. Emeralds In The Dark The sun finally sets on a journey well worn Closure to footprints imbedded in it's path No longer will they engrave the grounds of this life But, the evidence of my presence shall last... Oh, I was there, really there, with an honest pace So true to heart I saw freedoms face Still blue locked it's doors to any signs of peace So, it's your turn to fly so I'm taking me... And, I'm going inside myself where I so belong Where I've asked God for emeralds in the dark I never knew I could run this fast, my friend But, I'd rather the green then this blue in my heart... When the whole world's down with night glued to their sides I'll still be awake and in the middle of this empty cry Because, I was there, really there, but with you May through my absence you'll find emeralds, too... You'll never have to know those shades if my walk ends So, that's why I can run, and so fast, my friend For, when I'm granted green only beauty is seen And, you'll understand what my path to away really means... Cause, it's for you, all for you, where rivers never run dry You'll never know the rains again through my eyes For it's those greens that nature plaques us all with That'll find a new shade for you like a summer's kiss... So, until I meet up with you once more someday May you fly higher then ever while I am away You'll never hold my blue if we are apart Oh, but, we can share those emeralds in the dark... You'll be there on the edge of me of where I sleep Right where the blue and the green then meet Just sipping what once was that's now gone Just don't let me go for too long... Sauni:)The Only Time I See The Sun Is When I'm Within That Vanilla Breeze.The Only Time I'm One With The Sun Is When He Shelters Me From The Rain. L.S |

Madame Chipmunk and her emeralds have led you to a pretty piece...perhaps I should break out my emeralds, as well! Nice job! |

Beautiful Saunni, and it is wonderful to read through your eyes once more. I think you have inspired me to speak of my "emerald" friend.

Saunni, I agree with the consensus, this piece definitely shines like emeralds. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
