A Little Magic Of My Own


I stand before you
naked and unashamed
for all I have
I give you
in all that I am
divine and flawed
I share with you
will simple be enough
I find at times
I am afraid
searching for strength
standing at arms length
yet, within reach
do you know my heart
words do not
adequately tell it
it is like the cool
of night addressing
the thunder
I am just an edge
away from you
to where shadows
creep to undersides
of sleeping leaves
and in the sound
that wings make
as they fly
silently by
I find myself
part of this music
but standing
waiting for
the dance
a fire was lit
a passions flame
and here alone
I watch in ash
extinguished unstirred
I do not want
to gasp for air
I wish to have
my breath
be a sigh

"I am living a life, i have no wish to live. How did this happen?" Unknown

If you find such magic... and it lasts... would you share? *S* Superb write, lady.

helen,
Such an incredible view of you. But I've come to expect that. I like being able to rely on you.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

THIS is where real magic begins...

... spellbound ...

lost of word,
but naught of
thought


Add one more sigh to such wind!

(big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is excellent, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
