Deep Within Deep within the soul the silent longing is there, painfully, woefully stubborn, making it hard to breathe even to take a deep breath. A sensation of “reaching” there, down deep, holding on to the mind’s most fleeting thought, discarding even love, for a brief answer to sweet agony. How best to resolve this indisputable emotion, that which centers itself into a pit of desire, not for love, itself, but for a brief sharing, bidding one's self well. I know the answer, for it has always been within me, but there are times when I fail to impart a sense of urgency, and the failure pains me. It is somewhat like that faint, lonesome strain of one violin, sweet, pure, fine, a lingering note, reaching out for one other to hear, to understand, knowing its beauty in its loneliness. To share so much so that another is touched by the rare beauty of tender words, this lingering feeling still doesn’t let me breathe. ~*~ ©KRJ 9 October, 1999 revised 7 May 2002 revised, yet again 15 August 2003 |
