When In His Shadow I walk the morning path in sighs, each breath trying to gather what is left from the day before, wishing for a bit of the missing pieces to be found and fitted to make me feel whole again. I can taste the memories, a desire of skin to skin, lips to heal the parching that these weeks have rendered dry. I reflect on titles and on names and on words, remembering the stiffness of our first meeting, wishing truth had been more on my side. Then, oh how then, maybe the "might haves" would have happened sooner and the "wish fors" might not now be needed. It is lonely on this side of the fence, and although the rains have finally stopped, the mist is still present in my eyes, as I wipe away the fears for the moment and look towards the morning sunrise as a sign for the day... I am weak in your significance, yet in denial of the strength of my convictions, always wondering if the Tinman is watching from his city window, looking out to see if his heart is reaching out and I am wandering the night softly smiling when in his shadow. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

So....you have everything you need within yourself. Trust me. This is going into my library by the way.  hugs, Chris Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale. |

Lovely. But with a feeling of the slightest touch of sadness. The feeling like a breeze just barely touching your cheek drying a tear that threatens to fall. Good Jobber Hugs BonBon  |
