These days my dreams are colored with grey hues -- no matter how time has passed, from stones to fire the void is never full our faith aligned in different stars I hold no regrets, until evening blends my thoughts into a pattern of black, I wish for colors of dusk, in woven fabrics, and orchestras of sound, but the logic of wind blows them silently apart, Like fireflies they remain untouchable We have moved into history a river, slowed by many bends I use to hear their soft whispers every breath every movement such silent weavers {but} this world is not quiet tonight fires are burning the sand is heavy the clocks are loud Another fading of petals will leave this house in shades of solitude I watched the moon trace the floor with jaded eyes looking for reason, and thoughts of hope---nothing, light a cigarette, and watch the ashes fall a tapestry with no meaning I sometimes think of you in windows but can’t remember the color of your eyes-- holding a mirror close I can’t remember who I am-- separated earth and sky realm to realm Don’t speak again your words, love should never be hard the wall remains {I laid down and cried} torn my heart is empty light dances in droplets of rain my hands, still with ache there are tears on pages, smearing the lyrical flowers pressed in kaleidoscope connections even the ravens lift their alters of purity I look at this empty place: where once we spent nights in conversation memories of night pushing back the dawns they too arise on angel’s wings flooding the horizon clear as water and un-tearful Tonight darkness will steal moonlight and I will try to catch the reflection There's a place I like to hide-open your mind to me-Visualise your dream- Record it in the present tense, I am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity |

Lauren, I truly am going back to read your poem again. I know of such nights but never in my wildest imaginings could I have described those feelings as well as you have now done... Linda |

but the logic of wind blows them silently apart, Like fireflies they remain untouchable ~*~ It is possible to contain a firefly for a brief moment... as you have done, throughout your life... ~*~ But there is no giving up, even in the darkest light, ever. There is turning away, turning aside, and turning down...but there is never a giving up, in someone who cares as much as you do. How do I know this? I have seen inside your poet's heart. I have also seen inside your love. |

"We have moved into history a river, slowed by many bends" ~ The convoluted twists and turns can slow many a river... ~ I told you the truth when I said that I was going back to read your poem again! Love & Light, Linda |

So I chose your words to speak for me... ~our faith aligned in different stars~ ~but the logic of wind blows them silently apart,~ ~We have moved into history a river, slowed by many bends~ ~Don’t speak again your words, love should never be hard~ you've answered your own questions dear poetess... still... I know how hard to come by the answers are when we have to live with-in the questions. love you L-girlie |

Simply amazing. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

outstanding write of the sorrow of lose, and yet, through all of our loses comes some logical answers, if we are brave enough to search our own wants and heart. Bless you in your hours of need. Lee J. |

I look at this empty place: where once we spent nights in conversation memories of night pushing back the dawns they too arise on angel’s wings flooding the horizon clear as water and un-tearful Tonight darkness will steal moonlight and I will try to catch the reflection Hugs, my friend Ethel |
