Hello all, I haven't written much lately. I've lost my muse. All of you have been doing outstanding work from what I've been reading. Fantastic! Keep it up! This peice has been sitting on my hard drive for a few months unfinished. Tried to work with it a bit this morning. Well, such as it is... Ever After She flashed like monday's rude awakening to the working world She dressed in wishful thinking, honest hearts, a naive girl She tied sin behind her ears with satin covered bows wiped sleepless nights from tired eyes, Hopeful on the go She invented smiles through tears humble pie, a staple when others grind her bones for bread she eats the crumbs with maple Frugal heart will not buy new Rather, she will mend her tattered soul or broken dreams, over and over again Innocence has been her sword Silence, a faulty shield Kindness sometimes gives the strength to bend cruel fate to will Often though, it's just enough to paint another day watery colored memories to file then tuck away Night time falls upon her yoke to weigh her down to sleep and if she dies before she wakes, she knows not one will weep prayers form through nod & yawn while aching bones complain, she asks in all humilty for strength to rise again Forty dawns & hardships flashed so quickly out of sight she glides through like an apparition on a eerie night she weathers pity- snobbish glares with a bowed umbrella she knows the key to happiness is not like cinderella honesty, humility, & hunger for the truth are three things that motivate all she finds to do the most important thing of all she copies from above what hopes all things, endures all things and never fails, is love... she flashed like monday's rude awakening to the working world...

Thank you passing shadows, I do hope you are right. I miss writing on the fly. *smiles* Brad, I'll be sure and check under my bed. That's the one place I did not look. Noah, you never fail to touch me with your kindness. Thank you!  Inked Goddess, thank you for reading and most of all, feeling Thanks again, everyone. Sunkissed. |
