Christening whispers, like a kiss Soft promises my hands cupped in hindsight You left in my ear, many days of questions Was that your control, your sly intention? Moon seduced us with secrets And lost history – ours Wondering if ever "we" Thought about confirmations false you were never able to talk Surprise our domain Feeding on our losses Perhaps our lessons learned Wavering doubt spoke in tongues We didn’t understand, but both made choices Then, what was less festered within If we’d gone down with haunting memories it might have blessed our fears Did you keep dreaming? There was a saving breathless grace Which budded for a moment I believed your words were wings Unto the hearts of many woman I grasped in honor your background Was it ok to dream? You made me want a better life Within the lives of you and me Now I chew over years and love It was easy to give you an out It’s what I do… I wonder if what you heard was true Contempt of souls is nothing new Meeting always the same response Had you learned to think for yourself? Or did you analysis, taking heed from other shadows? Indisputable agony learns to try again You’d made your choice that night you said “I’ll always love you no matter what happens” Where are you standing now, what lingers in your soul Are you seeing all the while How did you come to be married? To anything which lingered young Was that your doubting Thomas? In the end I’ve learned to smile Now light pirouettes my dreams Outside the crickets know the child in me From whence I’ve taped into summer being Not needy anymore, for pure delight has Entertained a kaleidoscopic of fireworks, within our Sad good-byes You see, I know now it was the last ring Of our summer nights Something echoes and sweet green grass is born My cinnamon skin illustrates tomorrow in a circle With toes curled tightly around the edge of Shenandoah Gliding within the manuscript of a rainbow sky For the beauty of us, fell to far to ever reach your closed eyes All I wanted from you was to know you |

In the end I’ve learned to smile Now light pirouettes my dreams Outside the crickets know the child in me From whence I’ve taped into summer being Strange how we can lose ourselves simply by trying to share our love with someone else. Finding our sense of self and our worth is a blessing. Wonderful write. Chris  Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale. |

With toes curled tightly around the edge of Shenandoah ~*~ As I am a fan of the movie and the song... this lent some beautiful imagery to mind! |

"Something echoes and sweet green grass is born My cinnamon skin illustrates tomorrow in a circle With toes curled tightly around the edge of Shenandoah Gliding within the manuscript of a rainbow sky For the beauty of us, fell to far to ever reach your closed eyes All I wanted from you was to know you" Yes..I understand Lee.. and your last line sums it up so well.
