Colours of the setting sun bleed into the horizon Reds and purples brushed onto a canvas of blue Stars emerge to dust the dirt from the day Then fall in exploding fireworks of a summer evening Suddenly all the pain is gone from inside my heart Everything makes sense through these eyes Cast on a city of ghostly shadows Haunting whispers of voices long forgotten blow in the breeze That stirs the blinds in my windows Open and closing the view that heals my body Blistered feet and aching legs Miles traveled to the edge of the Thames and back Water rushing over the dam Crashing silently below on the other side Scattering bugs into the July evening I wipe the sweat off my neck Focused on the tranquil nature before me Lost in my thoughts of nothingness Emptying my heart of all love. |

(big hugggssssssssss) Yes, do everything above EXCEPT on the last line, sweet friend, for love is such a precious thing to throw away and love is what brings harmony to ones heart! (sad sigh) I send angel healing hugs, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet John, 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 I can see the sun set and I perceive ***Live*** [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (11-02-2003 02:43 PM).] |

The last line seems rather incongruous to me as the lines leading up to it show a man who sees and appreciates the beauty of nature and his heart is brimming with love for it! Perhaps a disappointing love relationship drained some of the love from your heart, but you still have a whole lot of loving going on in that heart of yours! Loving, healing hugs, EA |
