Then knew again All beyond my reach Some wandering lyric That opens up the wound In a four letter word And I know not The breadth of my own sanity Questioning the answers with clay Yet here upon the sand Intuition traces itself **L** Sweeping o'er the grains Mortor mix for barriers As walls are high in common carriers Yet not so deep As to forsake my touch **O** And trace the lip lines Following my thoughts along your jaw A frozen look prevents my sight My hands become my eyes Across your shoulder, bolder **V** This quake is amplified From earth to heaven Moving into some uncharted course My palms seek beating sieve To rest upon your heart in synergy **E** Comes clear the only thing That I have ever known Believed Copyright Kkh 9/4/04 |

This is wonderful TD- glad I found it. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Wonderful!! Until the last stanza with an artistic division, I thought I was seeing eyes and a nose, noses of different shapes. Then I saw the E and realized the "LOVE" was the 4-letter word. A wonderful flip/flop from where my mind had been...a delightful piece and I want to especially ditto p.s. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
