The Servant Eavesdrops My friend, well come! It has been awhile, please, come, sit, visit with me, may I serve you some sweetbreads, some wine? Oh, you are so very kind to ask of him. Ah...he is well. With the exception of his sore heart. His travels take him far, and I miss his love. Oh, yes, you are most correct. He is all that, kind, and thoughtful, he does not push for what he knows he cannot have, not just yet... but there are days, like today... when his spirit wells over me, as I remember his touch, how much I feel as if I am incomplete... without him, like now, just telling you this, when my tears start those salt-tinged bearers of sorrow, though I am not really sad.... it's just one of those days... on days such as these, when he knows how I feel, his spirit spends just a little more time touching, lingering, and he senses my wants... nay, desires, and does not push... for there is no place for him to go, he has to wait, as I for the tides to turn, to return him to his proper place, it is just one of those days... and yes, even when my eyes well, the smile... oh, the smile... is all because of him... and I thank you, for asking. ~*~ Inspired by Elan |

This made me picture a classic 1940's b/w kind of film in my mind -- it has that universal emotion embedded in it while still feeling intensely personal... A strong scene here, my Lady... -MVS "AS ABOVE SO BELOW" |
