Beneath the pale moonlight tonight I whispered your name, knowing it was in vain, yet all the same it came from these cold lips that still seek the feel of you. Once we walked hand in hand upon shores of gold in another land as the silvery seas parted for us while we embraced our last goodbye. Why, oh God? Why did it end just when the moon was still so high and these lips were still hot from passions’ sweet sigh and all that was love had to die, just as two hearts became one? Oh God, please, don’t answer that, for I am still not ready to accept your why. |

I always imagine you in scenic settings and know that being close to nature is being in touch with one's soul (for lack of a better word) This forlorn call toward the moon passes for religion, may the fresh air that replaced it fill the void and the next moon find you further from the answer you don't want. Poignant. |

I talked to God I knew he's understand He said stick by me I'll be your guiding hand, but don't ever ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to. wish I'd wrote that but the credits Peter Green's.(really early Fleetwood Mac) Seemed to fit anyway...enjoyed as always. Live like it's your last day... |

I remember that one. Thanks, Ray. Most of the time I don't even bother asking anyway. |

well done ma'am... well done indeed... some answers we don't really want..we want the ache the answers left filled.. the empty inside from loss to be denied.. sometimes.. the wind simply blows though the holes in us... other times... we wrap around us the treadbare remnants of teh feelings, and at least keep ourselves from freezing.. |

Some answers don't take away the longing or fill the void. you did well with this. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

the answers will come, and walk hand in hand with you into the future...to love nature as you do, will also swarm you with warmth and intellect...I'm wishing you great buckets of warmth to fill you up and please you....love and hugs Lee J. Your writes are a circle of art. |

Well now Kacy I have an answer. But the truth is it doesn't cure the broken heart or ease the troubled soul. On the other hand you are indeed touching people with your recall, including me. We all long for a better day. But some of us get to write of it. Peace... If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
