Framed
©2002 C.G. Ward

she knelt,
swathed in black
like a sorceress communing
with the knaves of nature.

bent,
slender hand outstretched
in benediction -
or hope,
billowed in the coolness
of solitude.

her face though,
captured me.

framed slight
in curls of auburn smiles,
eyes glimmered to the left
- hers, not mine -
in the suggestion
that time
is only shared
with those who understand
that life is a moment,
not a trial.

Now this one I loved! The entire thing but of course the fact that you had my life's motto in there helped your rating

I always thought you have to be a bit of an antique to get this about life...

Fantastico! Yanno - you imprompt really well

A smile costs nothing, give one away and make someone rich.

Think I'd like to save this, for later inspiration.

No matter how good looking she is... someone, somewhere is glad she's gone.

Sharon - Thank you for your effusive comments. I don't think one has to be antique to know of things such as this... just aware.

Maree - Thanks for stopping by.

M -

Brat, but thank you, sincerely.

JM - It was a picture of a girl I met online that prompted this... just one of those snapshot moments that hit the inspiration button. Thank you kind moth.

Lauren - ever supportive... i appreciate that. hugs back

Karen - So who is this mysterious muse, you think? hugs to you too.

majnu - sounds like fun... name the place and i'll read it.

reluctantlyme - let me know if you ever develop anything from the inspiration.

peace all -
