This is true what I wrote about taking a walk. For a few people I can't be with at Christmas. Of The Breath It's a steady flow of reminiscing that I'm replaying All in a night of blue, red, green and white A softly kind of chaos the colors lend this time of year In remembrance of you among the Christmas lights... I gathered what my mind could hold in this chill Carrying anything I'd find that I had left Winter's moon and the echo of the bells just stirred my release And, I was in whisper, of missing you, there on the church steps... The night's in silent creation to all that's calm and still And, solitude leaned against me just as the Christmas wind I came upon what once remained on the very edge of hope And, since God blessed me with a memory I took it all in... I captured endless, in true form, that summer never completed I found vibrant that fall just could never do I now know refreshing that spring hasn't managed to give yet But, tonight's so heartfelt I think heaven feels it, too... When my walk's over and I say goodnight to dusk's wonders I hope the angels come to you with what I just prayed Allow them to share my words as I get up from my knees now And, here is what I want them to say... You are of the breath; Among the breathless Part of the air I breathe; A night still restless You are of the breath; Still my last dying sigh A reason I live; This season I cry Wish you were here, Wish you were here Merry Christmas Saundra Sauni  The Only Time I See The Sun Is When I'm Within That Vanilla Breeze.The Only Time I'm One With The Sun Is When He Shelters Me From The Rain.[This message has been edited by Saunni (12-10-2003 12:15 AM).] |

Saunni, First, let me thank you for visiting my post and your sweet comments. Your poem is soooo beautiful, full of imagery; I feel that I was watching two in the past on the church steps, then my attention averted by the bells. I was especially taken with this: You are of the breath; Among the breathless Part of the air I breathe; A night still restless You are of the breath; Still my last dying sigh A reason I live; This season I cry Wish you were here, Wish you were here Merry Christmas Sadelite |

I captured endless, in true form, that summer never completed I found vibrant that fall just could never do I now know refreshing that spring hasn't managed to give yet But, tonight's so heartfelt I think heaven feels it, too. I am having a moment that I wouldn't trade for anything right now!! I so enjoy the way you write and all the love that you wrap it up with. Big hugs, and Happy Holidays, Saunni~ This touches a very special place, and I gotta say, it took my breath away. Beautiful, you~ |
