To Know Harbored in the coming of purpleās twilight embracing a belief searching for a star Looking for one that outshines all others the first that would shine that night as the star rose into the heavens the wind rushed searching rushing to whoosh into her ears bringing along the words of the star in a whisper I am yours Green eyes fastened onto the radiant white beam light-years away yet a stretch of slender hand, palm up, held the star aloft with gentlest touch Like a star out of reach love is there, when you know and when you know, then the darkest blue-black of night will envelope you tuck you in keep you warm safe in the promise And in that promise, to know there is one, just as the first star is the one that, with a stretch of slender hand, palm up, you might hold aloft with gentlest touch to bring the smile to know to believe I am yours [This message has been edited by Sunshine (08-24-2003 01:08 PM).] |

Looking for one that outshines all others to know there is one, just as the first star is the one that, with a stretch of slender hand, palm up, you might hold aloft with gentlest touch ======================= this is a beautiful expression of the comfort in knowing of the certainty of love...these are such great lines... sp just a hang-up call and the quiet breathing of our persian we call cajun on a wednesday... |

And in that promise, to know there is one, just as the first star is the one that, with a stretch of slender hand, palm up, you might hold aloft with gentlest touch to bring the smile to know to believe I am yours You don't know how much this touched me, Karilea...Come to think of it maybe you do. And you know, too, I think you are wonderful! Patricia |

Karilea...this is absolutely gorgeous. I tried to pick out a favorite part, but to do so would not do justice to the 'whole' of it. So beautiful...it whispers... "My friends are my estate." |
