When we are bound to distraction when words on lips are missed tears slip past the gaze of comphrehension. Eyes that did not see are unaware of the weight of one drop as it seems to pull the color of skin away with its slow descent to evaporation short lived each but many and they streak pale bulbs corrupt the light lashing with tiny red strokes. All of my impurities are right here on my sleeve. This is Me"---Faith Hill |

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

"short lived each but many and they streak pale bulbs corrupt the light lashing with tiny red strokes." Best descriptive phrasing I've read in a long time. The pain is indeed palpable. Quite an effective write Jen. |

It is like being a submariner riding inside the tear and following it down your cheek into oblivion... Impressed.. |
