She bid me wait Till sun in fall met the blue of hazed land With shades of red That deeper grew to purple Along the line where horizon lay And side by side Our shadows grew Mine longer then than hers There came a blend And none could see The place we blocked the sun For something larger than us both Had stepped between She whispered me be still While she pulled from pocket string And began to lay it in a circle Round behind to front The break tied in knotted ends My mind remembered spells And circles drawn from them To keep at bay the fears of dark Or will of others Who sometimes stalked The shiver began deep And I,rooted as I was To this patch of ground Felt below me too the swell of earth And wondered if she was some mage To cast on me revenge For all the weary days I lived For all my mortal sins She smiled And handed me a stick “Stake the place where your shadow ends and mine begins” she said. “I can see no shadows there is no light.” I replied She laughed a kind crinkle of sound “Can you see me?” she asked as she saw me frown. “yes” my answer came for indeed light enough did remain “Then tell me why you do not see my shadow or yours?” In low voice she asked. I simply shook my head as science ran In rampant thought across my mind But formed no words to speak “Because,” she softly said “we are lit from inside and not blinded to this fact by an unrelenting sun.” “we have no shadows here?” I asked. Her laugh in fact Haunts me still... "our shadows in this circle lie" she said, "and we just lie within." |

“Because,” she softly said “we are lit from inside and not blinded to this fact by an unrelenting sun.” “we have no shadows here?” I asked. Her laugh in fact Haunts me still... "our shadows in this circle lie" she said, "and we just lie within." Absolutely wonderfyl Ron into my library it goes. M Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

Her laugh in fact Haunts me still... "our shadows in this circle lie" she said, "and we just lie within." ~*~ I got a distinct image of pink mountains, and yellow skies... I'm very much in like with this new path... |

Thought I would give you this reply for all your support and sometimes annoying understanding of me. "sit on top of the world and tell me how you feel...'cause what you feel is what I feel for you.." |
