"Magic" She said "Is still alive and well in you" And I wondered where? Does it yet abide in this long hair gone gray or in the body lamed by life? Or, perhaps she felt or heard or saw something long buried A glint from fresh-chipped glass that she thought...diamond But, the fact that it was there weaving itself about us is undeniable And leads me to think that it is she not me that calls forth the glamour Not my old charlatans' tricks of smoke and mirror or my clumsy sleight of hand "In looking Northward, I see a light" |

I have now caught myself up on this series... you write with such a tender, humble pen poet sir. Looking forward to more of these vignettes. You're the color of the sky reflected in each store-front window pane ... |

I only differ with one thought, sweets. I'll argue that this is not a "glamour". I believe. ![]() ![]() (and did y'know? The flying monkeys get to wear a codpiece in my version of The Wizard of Oz. Tres Chic, yeti. Grin. If you don't understand that you'll have to ask Sue. ![]() |

The day the rain fell you held my hand walking along Elmwood Avenue I was proud to be there by your side for the world to see this man, I love who shares my soul, my life, my eternity and as we strolled I looked up to you wondering exactly what you were thinking Were you happy? Was this what you expected? And then you looked down at me and with your shine of eye and glint of steel sight I saw that we were exactly where we needed to be My God Ed that was beautiful up there . . . it is you . . trust me on this *smiling* thank you for you and for this Susie xxoo [This message has been edited by littlewing (10-29-2003 02:19 AM).] |

"But, the fact that it was there weaving itself about us is undeniable And leads me to think that it is she not me that calls forth the glamour Not my old charlatans' tricks of smoke and mirror or my clumsy sleight of hand" I'm thinking it's the combination...that is magic! That's it, I'm calling in sick today and going to Fla. ![]() |

To be frank, my overall take is "impressive", but... don't you hate that word?... I have to agree with a previous post about the word "glamour". The rest is phenominal, though. |

O.K. Ed, first of all you have been grey since 23, Second of all, you have never given yourself any credit. I've always known how brilliant you are. You never, never saw this in yourself. I'm so envious of your talents and humor and quick replies. Finally you have faith in yourself. |
