A Wild Imagination I could write you a love poem swallowing silver to make jeweled words but silk can not wrap stone changing it to another form and prayers blow lost in the wind catching on trees tearing them I admit you lived in my imagination and I lit the white candles posting them in the north window I held on to the idea somehow you might be the one to melt but all that dripped was darkness and you said that you could not understand my words but what you really meant was you did not understand my heart so tonight the only candle that burns is mine "I am living a life, i have no wish to live. How did this happen?" Unknown |

"you could not understand my words but what you really meant was you did not understand my heart" But it's so easy....your words are your heart. The more a man reads, the more he sees the heart of you. Ah, but to read with understanding, not just mouth the syllables of you with the proper tones and inflections....yes, that might take a special man. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

I held on to the idea somehow you might be the one to melt but all that dripped was darkness and you said that you could not understand my words but what you really meant was you did not understand my heart  They never say, what they really mean, knowing we cling to their every word. Helen, always a heart stopping write from you, love your flow down the page. ~I wanna live, I wanna give, I've been a miner for a heart of gold~ Neil Young |

When you have looked inside the soul the question fades softens and the answer flows with the wax. |

Actions speak louder than words. Lip service sounds like this...(cupping hand up to ear) I hear a cymbal, or something...what is that noise? Saying the truth is better than not saying anything at all. It may hurt initially, but it's better than leaving to your imagination, and in the end having to imagine the worst. Very familiar with this.  Shara~  Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer! |

(big hugggssssssss) I've said this an umpteenth number of times before and I'll say it again...I'd prefer a ugly truth over a pretty lie anyday! (sad sigh) My advice is if one can't tell the truth, then it is instant defeat for that person and you must move on, I send angel hugs your way and wish for someone with a nobel heart to give you the love you so very much deserve, God Bless You, 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, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
