Sparse the pleasing of contemporary drone If the sun is out then so the light is shown And in the shades of gray assume the brighter of a day A thistle blooms regardless in it’s own sweet time and way Of a color like no other, catching eyes among the scrub Ever delicate and wistful calling out in pleasured dub A beauty by the roadside just a slight reply to dawn But to wonder what is seeming to keep beaming ever on …Palms and fingers prickle Here together, this reclusive place Silence glistens cupped of hand in paper lace Placed here beside you...thinking, listening Your spirit twists in wince of something faded Possibly a dream that somehow fell into the sea unsated …I know of these Unsure of what is sought or found here Someone special, purposeful resounds near Right here beside you...thinking, listening Unattained and thirsting...loosened secrets bursting Falling from the skies there in your eyes And in his hand she placed a tear For all that could be ever dear His own strength...thinking, listening Fuel to take upon the journey...and friendship glistening For love will never leave you empty ...And the biggest deception in life Is the lie that we tell ourselves Copyright Kkh 4/6/04 |

Kathleen? (May I call you Kathleen?) Do you know when I see a new post by you I literally say "ah..." aloud? Before I read this, I put on some music too-- "Peer Gynt Suite No. 1: Prelude"  It was just the right tune for your gentle grace of pen. And sheesh. I don't mean to embarrass you with my "gushing" but your talent with the written word just consistently makes me so happy, that I wanted to thank you. You even manage to the heavier moods with lightness. So...um..thank you. |

"I know of these..." right in the middle tying it all together perfectly...and your knowledge of "these" shows in the gentleness of your words and heart, my friend. jwesley |

And in his hand she placed a tear For all that could be ever dear ~*~ I like serenity's choice of music to go with your words... she's wise, she is... As for the ah's? Goodness, no wonder the wind moves, for the ahs come from the south and the midwest... all the way to you. |
