Anguish will suffice |

She lives in me much more than what can die in fleeting dreams. Her memory long past long term pruned by never. Still always my love. Then we burned in bright crimson contrast. What was it she wore? I need not recall specifically. Perhaps in creation even, her descent was holy. The wall of wailing held no more admiration. And when she approached all sensation left save that which would surrender to her near and drowning eyes. And although now bereft I would not change one thing on this great sphere. To have this vision far outweighs the price. In place of her this anguish will suffice. |

....when she approached all sensation left save that which would surrender to her near and drowning eyes... ~*~ ok.... I've tried to come up with the appropriate response. All that will suffice, is a thank you. |

"To have this vision far outweighs the price. In place of her this anguish will suffice." Oh good lord... Reb~ This is masterful. "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

*sigh* You pulled from a deep well when you let this flow of love surface. To be remembered like this...*sigh* |

Well, thanks all... I'm glad you liked it.. but, it's not my favorite.... Blazey -- um... I don't think anything can come from that far down... things are pretty silent there. |

enjoyed this... though I can see why it might not be a favorite to you, it does speak well to the heart and the idea that it is better to have loved and lost than not loved at all.. nicely done sir |

In fleeting dreams, there is much that lives...some memories good, some sad but all making us who we are. Enjoyed your words, LR M |
