Though she walked the plains, shoes sprinkled with dust and tears, she knew. For what was written within the bound arose often as a memory of days of who and what if. She touched the pages worn, wandering over countless words written ages ago, shared beyond the ear’s drum in breathless voice, as a heart raced toward the ending. He brought to her the yearn of soul, so deeply imbedded within rising ribs as a breast yearned the lie of a warm head. She touched his hair, white as the snow covered Rockies...letting fingers graze the fertile fields that covered a mind that only she knew. Would he again one day speak beyond the ear’s drum, implanting seeds of rhyme within her hands, as tears lightly sprinkled the fertile fields? Would he, would she? Only they knew...for this place was their home of dreams, where all is possible and going for broke reaps words, endless words...whispered softly beyond an ear’s drum....

When I read your words, especially such as these, it is as if I am swept away into the moment - the flow is seemless, the words, timeless. ![]() Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

"He brought to her the yearn of soul, so deeply imbedded within rising ribs as a breast yearned the lie of a warm head." The whole poem was simply wonderful but I especially liked the above. |
