She Is |

She’s the nearly imperceptible breath in a whispered confession- the first light of each new day the ache that grows with evening shadows and the hope that follows them to sleep She’s the fleeting sweetness of a snowflake kiss-the joy found in the chasing the intimacy of walking alone in summer rain- the restoration gathered along the way She’s a song never written a poem still waiting to be understood the colour love gives spring to summon brightness from winter’s gray- the scent of life rising from the earth She’s the sound of a train in the distance softly saying goodbye-goodbye until it’s just the moon and I- She is gone and we are waiting for dreams to fill the measure of the night [This message has been edited by Jamie (02-13-2004 12:20 AM).] |

Jamsey, really I wish you'd write more often or post more often m'friend, I miss reading you. I have a lil suggestion though, hope you don't mind. I've read a few times.. once as it is, the second time without "she is" in the first 3 stanzas. I feel it's too repetitious and takes away from the poem and it seemed to flow better without. But...that of course is just my opinion. Wondermous as always m'friend Mee Mee heh. Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

Thanks to each of you- Taking time to let someone know you were there is important and not always possible- I'm glad you took the time. Mmy- I have it 4 different ways- one of which is as you suggested, and is actually how I was going to post it. Thanks dear. There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |
