Maybe a dream of heaven
an image of earth

broken and cracked

longing is a lonely word

like the blue  of fall
such as clouds passing
in   lost night/s
such as night/s

Inside a soul with
deep chambers
the forgotten place  you seek
the realms of which you write
the passing of what was

but all the clocks are set
                      so endured
in black and white
all depends on fate
even the moon searches for answers
stirring the water to meet its reflection

He               loved and left his heart
for all to see
yet I am still lonely
he               loved and held his guitar
with strings of song and peace
what I try to believe
I wish I could grasp hisbeauty

and night falls the ground
with shimmering pearls
to those who search
                 marking day and night
and their hunger to dance  together
and the walls around me will fall
silent and embrace all  shadows

my soul can not melt
these invisible colors
as I sit and wait for rain

to dissolve all green to gold

when my thought/s lead the grace
of our dance behind such mirrors
of eye
~
and I              wish for your lips
to take my breath away
~~**~~

just because

I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situtaion-made from clay to stone

"Longing" may be a lonely word, but you explored its endeavours with such infinite grace, dear Lauren, that I feel oneness as a result of reading your wonderful write.

Love, Margherita

oh and.....
I was reading our duet the other day in my library...thank you again for that delightful dance.

I am sure of my reasons, embracing the seasons,
and the sacred simplicity of you at my side.

Oh my, its been a long time since I read something so eloquent. I feel the longing within. "even the moon searches for answers". I love that line. All of them, in fact.

Ever read something that is so simplistic yet so full of meaning that as it's meaning seeps in it makes you gasp with realization?

This line was that for me:

"longing is a lonely word"

longing and lonely...two words I lived and breathed.

Very well done Lauren, as usual.

in endless winter and he
