Caught up in the magic of this All consumed with loving you I no longer saw reality That who you are And who I perceived you to be Were no longer the same I could not see Did not want to see Until that day When the scales fell away And I saw clearly Now I know But I know nothing Or more importantly (at least to me) I don't know why Pepper |

Pepper darling heart, there is in your writing a deep and abiding echo that lingers in the soul of the reader, so few writers can and do write this well fewer do this as well as you do. It is a pleasure to read such well written expressive work. This is an utterly utterly utterly wonderful post. So incredibly well constructed the flow is excellent like a stream of crystal water it refreshes as it strokes the mind. When tears fall as they sometimes do Look inside and seek hopes view Don’t imagine the tears will stay Soon enough they will fade away When hearts hurt as they sometimes can You wonder if it’s the fault of every man But soon the memory passes by And you’re left alone to wonder why? When words cut as they have before Just pick yourself off the floor They are just words they can’t harm you Even though you think they do When wounds weep with hurt and pain Don’t despair to try again Give more than you ever have before And you’ll find you’ll receive much more When tears fall as they will now and then Know that your smile will come again You don’t give up, don’t yield at all Inside your heart is love’s true call Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds but I can face the future with courage brave and bold Footprints In My Heart Kethry [This message has been edited by Marsha (07-06-2003 12:32 PM).] |

I am no longer sure of that answer either, Midnitesun, but I am sure of one thing; we see nothing so clearly as that which we wish to believe .. and we doggedly cling to that belief until we are forced to confront reality.. reality.. another name for life... aka the brick wall... lol Pepper |

And the reality of who or what you love comes into focus always after the glitter of romance fades away...which is not to say that love cannot continue..but it has to be of a different sort..very sensitive write |
