The grapevine climbs and winds buried beneath blankets of snow, untouched. As word travels fast and viciously their meaning lost and cast in distant shadows, passed. What does it all mean combined. White lies around the bend a lonely breath painted with a tainted smile curves around your lips. Like a single dance in the mist or tears that slip on black ice, echoes the pain and speaks for the sound of silence, unbroken. |

Lori Sometimes the sound of silence is welcome, but it can get awfully lonely too.  |

Grapevines can be quite resilent as others in the cold. Can't wait for Spring and budding things! Enjoyed reading this several times. Take care, miscellanea |

Nice word choice throughout, but this is my favorite. Like a single dance in the mist or tears that slip on black ice, echoes the pain and speaks for the sound of silence, unbroken. Always good to read you, Lori. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

"Like a single dance in the mist or tears that slip on black ice, echoes the pain and speaks for the sound of silence, unbroken." I can relate to this these days. Lovely, Bluesy. |

silence can oft times be anything but silent - this aches in its flow - it moves the heart to compassion - Susan If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |

The sound of silence can hurt your ears, it is sometimes like the engine of time that moves us forward when we are without company..It can move very slow, and the road can be very slippery ... "Like a single dance in the mist or tears that slip on black ice, echoes the pain .." But we somehow gain ground, and after traveling a while we hear friendly voices... Such as are heard in these replies... enjoyed ___________ice ><> |

Thank you all so much for reading, and for putting up with me while I'm trying to get my muse to behave. |

It means....what we make it mean, nothing else....usually less than we want it to mean, but always what we make it mean. That's been a hard, hard lesson for me, but I've learned it. .....psst....you let that muse go, y'hear? I like her just fine when she's a free-range bird..... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ |

As word travels fast and viciously That it does... until there's no breath left to beg for silence. And your last verse... simply beautiful. If this is muse-misbehaving... can I send mine to play with yours for a while? *S* |

we humans are a miraculous bunch, and our muses are perhaps trying to get us to behave???? Loved this |

How did I miss this? The grape vining image you have cleverly woven into a single dance! You really set mood with this... Your imagery is very striking, Bluesy. (I'd like to keep this to study a bit. Thanks so much for the pleasure of the read.) miscellanea |
