I am a lover of words & simple flowers in rain, I wonder if theres a real me, or am I just this plain?! I hear the fairies whistling, on a tree not far away, I see there wings of splendor, & I sit in disarray. I want to feel again, to feel a love in vain, I am a lover of words & simple flowers in rain. I pretend that the words I hear, dont stop inside my heart, I feel those fairies step down, & carefuly take me apart. I touch that peace of heaven, right to Edens lair, I worry that will will never find such peace; yet this remains my prayer. I cry when I tremble; its a part of me I cant explain, I am a lover of words & simple flowers in rain. I understand that a picture is a song un-sung, I say my picture, is of a girl though to young. I dream that ones rapture will take hold of me, I'll try to remember that splendor for my memory. I hope that when you find me, I'll be easy to attian, For I am just a lover of words & simple flowers in rain... For in much wisdom is much grief & he who increases knowledge increases sorrow... Eccl. 1:18 [This message has been edited by MIdsummerRain (06-15-2002 05:02 AM).] |

you're so good. *green with envy* it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown |
