{And if you look at stars long enough you might find yourself somewhere} How light cradles hollow, empty embraces: here your heart echo's I imagine you the world was frozen: somewhere forgotten in dreams, we learned space without names -- between each season The moon arose I didnt notice {I was} trying to hold something, anything in my hands {fragrance of morning, motion of breathing, the shape of old waves} if wind had knowledge of edges, my dreams would walk in silent tips Here at the center the deepest part I claimed forever in answer to the sea and the rain soaked earth -- who remembers how to listen over dark arches and cold stone? The shore was l o n g I paused enough to drink air I could not see there, a place inside of you, amber of memory so unheard words might cross these lips The way you move me I walk with your shadow With your silhouette Leave the light on It always comes Back to you [This message has been edited by Greeneyes (09-11-2003 12:31 PM).] |

You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lauren, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Lauren, I'm with Sy and it has been a while. But then I can never get enough of your writing. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Almost every time I read your poetry, it reminds me of the style of lyrics of my favorite band. Simply put, beautifully written. |
