That fear Where longing thrusts collision course with chance Stuttering our breath to hesitate this tidal dance Before was a passage of illusions harsh hand And here waits the chariot to an uncertain land That fear Do you know it? Do you feel it? In our mastery do we find the essence of truth What is real defined in it’s tell tale proof Our lips that come close to mouthing worlds held at bay Against the throat that whispers smoke for all that we might say That fear That somehow things are not the way they seem Should it be that I must hold my ground or give up on this dream? To let this moment pass beneath the shimmering first skim And bid goodbye and live a lie without you as my pulse grows dim That fear That you will go…a prophecy impressed to make it so Or can I trust my heart to navigate the rough of seas My God, this love I feel for you has brought me to my knees As strong as talk may be, it is the last sense meant to see That fear That braves the plunge and brings your spirit warm in me Copyright Kkh 7/11/04 |

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

"That fear That somehow things are not the way they seem Should it be that I must hold my ground or give up on this dream? To let this moment pass beneath the shimmering first skim And bid goodbye and live a lie without you as my pulse grows dim" This poem was so real for me unearthing old, old memories of a predestined love....and it will haunt me now all day. Exquisitely written, Kathleen. |

Goodness Kiddo, I do not believe I have ever seen words like this from you. Such feeling and power...so many emotions you have expressed in indelible ink that will not erase or be washed away. |
