I am pacing off the steps
deaf
to murmered mutterings
knowledge of the incomplete
as if my footprints
mean something
lipstick smudged upon a glass
and gloss upon the filtered cigs
piling up the crystal tray
to keep my offerings of ash...

There she is
and there she ain't--
I ponder means of hunt and trap.
I am Artemis
concede
that peace
is freedom
from my grasp...

She is finale'--
mystery
achievement
that can't be achieved--
the grace of written promises
which can't be had by works or deed.

Listen
I just heard her sing,
there between
the willow's weep
thoughts that are
too hard to think
in drift
from bough to ground...

Smiling at you...

I KNEW you could do it...and you did it
beautifully, and in true 'Serenity' style.

Love this, lady...and love YOU.

Damn K - I hear her too . . .
Knew you would do this with your
finesse and grace, as always
and I must bow to you
I would have had an extremely hard time with this myself
You far exceeded and always write off the shoulder - from a view many of us dont see
Only from your eyes . . .

thank you - I know it wasnt easy
*still finding patience*
grrr
LOL

    Has held me in the same embrace~

Karen,

Very well written.  I heard her singing for the first time in my life a little over a year ago....
