I am strained dry, Harsh words crumpling reflection The mirror should break And not show so much empty… If I gaze long enough The bejeweled wings shall lift me I shall carry my rainbows with me Leaving the empty behind…  |

Karilea~ This really is beautiful. I enjoyed the thought of flying away and 'leaving the empty behind'.  Hugs to you, my friend.  ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truly met the poet. ~vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (09-17-2002 09:05 PM).] |

Your broach is as lovely as the owner, That is if it’s yours. And the words written reflect an inner beauty also, With your smile I’m sure you always carry a rainbow with you But fly not too far away Empty your words on us and let us delight more by them |

Very striking poem. Somehow I think there is a happy ending in there somewhere. |

Your leaving, for whatever reason or destination, would create an intolerable emptiness. Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

"I shall carry the rainbows with me, leaving the empty behind." "I shall carry the rainbows with me, leaving the empty behind." ----some words just bare repeating!---and the wisdom in them was so poetically expressed! ~ as you spread your sunshine, remember to keep some for yourself! ~ EA |

Karilea, I didn't know jewelry could fly. But your words are jewels, and they not only fly, but float... Mike |

Karilea - I believe that you "carry the rainbows" with you everyday. Just lovely - enjoyed. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Karilea, this is beautiful but there is overwhelming sadness of the empty. Go, fly, leave it behind and the rainbow will bring fullfilment. Hugs, Marti |

There were times in all our lives, where they were fringed in jewels, and we wore them like a broach. And we felt better about ourselves. Till we realized that jewels are always better worn on the inside. jeff |
