~*~ There is little comfort in knowing it all comes down to a turn of the cheek after laying my heart on the line paying no attention to the obvious signs instead I kept planting, and watering and weeding an assortment of forget-me-nots. Only now can I begin to comprehend that it was nearly impossible to hold up under the burning sun, amid the constant flurry of santa ana winds that picked me up without warning, reminding me that the sky doesn't get any bluer than this, can't you see. I took solace beneath the trees and you were the branches I clung to thinking I could build a fort out of my dreams until I got carried away and let myself go finding comfort in the rustle of leaves falling down around my feet. Like so many things I used to believe in yet another season has passed and nothing has changed while my flowers lay dying and my roses are wilting outside. ~*~ [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (07-15-2003 06:27 PM).] |

"an assortment of forget-me-nots." Ain't that the truth. Some other nice lines in here too, like: "finding comfort in the rustle of leaves falling down around my feet." Kraw' |

Blusie, Dang that man! I hope a gentle breeze arises soon... If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Thanks sweetie~Maureen~ Yes, those days always circle back and find me in the same place. Hugs and thank you. Krawdad~ Being one who picks and chooses her favorite lines, I appreciate the highlighting and for taking the time to read me. Craig~ unlimited and thoughtful? Uh oh, I don't want to be getting on a roll! So nice to see you here and thanks. Larry Dear~ My sentiments exactly! Thanks for always supporting me, I can't begin to tell you what it means to me. ~smiling at you~ I'm so glad you saw something lovely in my words Nancy... I know it sounded dark and dismal, but there were some nice feelings tucked in there too. Thanks for your hugs and smiles~ |

The trees were my comfort and you were the branches I clung to thinking I could build a fort out of my dreams until I got carried away and let myself go finding comfort in the rustle of leaves falling down around my feet. =============================== WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Girl...this is a bittersweet beauty... my goodness...you wrote the rose and the thorn.... such a lovely angsty write of metaphor and heart string playing emote. You do your pen name justice with this one Lori-girl...anyone ever tell ya that yer beautiful when youre blue "I'm good at two things and this is the other one." |

When the heart of a woman weeps, seas cannot hold the rain of emotion. Of all the wonderful poetry I read here, I am never more impressed with the heart and soul of the art, than when you paint the picture. TD |
