~*~ Your breath was so close and even tinting the night sky. The stars fell like diamonds that clung to icicles in the morning. You didn't notice how the eaves sagged or the strands of garland hung from four corners. A quiet rustling to this day reminds me of a softer glowing. That pales in light of loving and I miss you now. There is only a layer of frost melting on the lake. Too thin to skate across even though I believed it would last. You had already gone before the dawn lifted the fog. ~And gave way~ [This message has been edited by garysgirl (12-27-2003 10:09 PM).] |

Lori...I have come to understand that some things are as fleeting as a sigh and leave the heart hurting with their goodbye...yet still the memory's sweet.  |

Jes~ Aww the hint of love is something to believe in, indeed. Thank you for reading me. Karilea~ Thank you for that, and for always being so good to me. My best to you in the New Year. Martie~ You always read me right, and that means so much to me. However fleeting, it was the sweetness that inspired me this morning. Thanks. |

Lori, as you already know, I love all your writing and think it's beautiful. But, my friend, this one is extra beautiful, with a soft tenderness about it. It is soooo pretty!!  Hugs to you, sweet lady Ethel |

Amy~ The images were only half of what my heart was trying to convey. I'm so glad you enjoyed, thank you. vandana~ Thank you kindly~ Dear Margherita~ Thank you for your poetic reply, As you said, the longing can be just as beautiful. Ethel~ I wanted to write this with a tenderness, and I'm so glad you noticed. Thank you very much for your heart warming reply. Ed~ It only hurts when it's done right! lol~ Hmmm, I'm thinking you know me too well. iliana~ What a nice thing to say. Thanks S. Arthur Grey~ That's exactly where I was coming from. Between the thin ice and sun dappled breezes....Yes!!! I'm not much of an ice skater anyway, something always gets lost in the balance, and it's a pain when I slip and fall. Thank you so much for stopping by. |

Beautiful and sad, sad and beautiful. Classic Lori. Hold these things lady, they're priceless; but be sure to release the things that aren't. |
