clouded patterns shadows sleep languishing in long stretches of darkness under grey blankets while emissions are tiredly sprayed from a solitary candle who slips on the footsteps of death into a flickering flame dressed in a worn-out attire of wax that has collapsed into a puddle on its stand in furtive quietness the candle takes leave as night descends flaunting complete control and takes guard to watch over the land ~°~°~°~ the day launched itself with reluctant smiles of sunbeams entering with whispering knocks on ash-grey doors feeling uninvited as the rain came down spilling out like tears out of a young girl’s eyes who has had her doll pulled out of her hand ~°~°~°~ why does it rain particularly when all we need is a spot of light why does memory haunt especially when all has been said and done with why does the cleanest of floors show a few specks of dust why does the widest of doors have an iron safety lock ~°~°~°~ perchance, the link is rust left behind by the taint of living in the ancient |

why does the cleanest of floors show a few specks of dust ~*~ it's nice to see the feminine side of this... ~*~ the day launched itself with reluctant smiles of sunbeams entering with whispering knocks on ash-grey doors feeling uninvited ~*~ I know this feeling... ~*~ why does memory haunt especially when all has been said and done with ~*~ my friend calls these "tapes" that are on automatic self-wind... no way to destroy them, no way to tangle them... seemingly, no way of erasure... I liked this read, Sudhir...so many levels, so many places to be pulled, like warm taffy... Thank you. |

(big hugggsssssss) I honestly don't know, though I can only imagine He has to cry so much to see the children lying alone for a prayer! (sad sigh) I recognize these kind of tapestries, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sudhir, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton And that's the most wonderful thing about creating. It will always be a mystery. ***Shakira*** [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (04-25-2003 03:57 PM).] |
