Within the purple hue of evening there in the capture making credence of this and that within my view I nectar the sweet lace of falling dark and feel your trailing finger on my heart Alive alone a song I hear along the canvas of my elusive painting the color dripping down blue Could I divine the choir of my voice if I had the chance to dance or walk along the river what my choice I would dive into your waves find the estuary from this road into your opening cave and there I’d gladly drown to be saved |

My dear lady, I have a feeling that your voice IS the choir. Matter of fact, I seem to recall that it actually holds the sheet music also. As for the color dripping blue, perhaps a walk along the Kern this time of year bring back the vibrance of color. You pen passion well, but you hold life's hand in passion and have since I have known you. Lovely write as always. |

Martie, Tender are the thoughts this conjurs in my broken heart. And healing is the result again. Thank you.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

It is all great, but this made me smile: "if I had the chance to dance or walk along the river" |

Could I divine the choir of my voice ============================= YES!!!!!!!!!!!! and you do............. every time you pick up a pen.  and every word of this is divine. I would love to live as a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding. |

Dance, dance! The river will always be there. There is such a strain in this, such an interplay of conflicting wants and needs....I feel for you, angel, I really do. Wish I could help. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

and there I’d gladly drown to be saved So many lines in this reached straight into my heart... but the ending really says it all... and does so beautifully. *S* |

Ah good...someone good and kind bumped this up for me because they knew I was not connected to the 'net, and they knew I would have to see how a trailing finger... could mean so much... oh Martie...have I thanked you and Taylor yet, for making my California stay, so very, very special? |
