You Ring True to you belongs love but you have tasted pain one can not survive without the other both are needed to remain shallow breaths have left you lingering in thin air and bore upon your naked heart leaving you alone in red repair yet, each drop that fell turned into a crimsoned storm of rebuild empty places left inside are covered with strength and filled and now you think you hear an echo and think… this is your weakest part listen closely now, the sweet sound you hear is the beating of your heart |

I never assume anything, anymore, but? If it's not for me? Then they must share it, 'cause I'm snatching this into my library as "mine!" (guess that means I needed it, huh?) But it amazes me how we can dance in sync to different tunes.  |

Helen, I echo serenity's thoughts! You're the best. Try to help one and you end up helping many. Thanks.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Whomever your friend is they certainly have a true friend in you as well. I like that Karen took it, as the last lines are so "her" as she has the biggest heart there is. Nice words Helen. |

Helen~ Much truth in these words, and so beautifully penned. Hugs, ~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 (05-28-2003 04:02 PM).] |

Sometimes I feel as if my own is still beating, but more like a living dead sort of beat. *sigh*  I suppose beating is life..and life is life..even in pain, eh? Lovely.. and thank you for writing this. You could hurt me with your bare hands. You could hurt me using the sharp edge of what you say. JEWEL |
