That kind of moment, when something Sends a shivering shadow and some ex-life Is recalled, even if Not willingly by you... But you flow...in that blink, Releasing The Big Sigh... ~*~ Had it Worked Out Special moments are memories Gift wrapped by the Magi’s Hands alone Even when paper is next- Morning tattered, and satin ribbons Lay in tangle of thought Special moments can still Make you have faith In magic Was is so many years ago And that young ago For a couple sans income Worried about Christmas, What to gift Each other She, new to the Midwest ~ He thinks her pine eyes Would sparkle on State Street They board a day train To Chicago proper ~ She makes windowpane wishes On casement dressings and Santerrific scenes Wrapped in silken sighs CA bred, frozen crepe Whipped and chilled By Chicago winds Thin legs exposed To crystal shard winds But heart happy As her one wish For snow on State street came, Kissing her eyelashes. Had it worked out It would have remained A Magi story to tell. ~*~ A second sigh... A look at hands long worn, And worn, Still ~ youth remains, Somewhere tightly bound, A cocoon where a butterfly Beckons release; Which may only come At death. "There's a reason they call God The Creator - he sides with talent." Julia Cameron Ice? Thank you for the kick... |

Wonderful write Karilea. Brought back my own shivers of 'had it worked out'. And that butterfly in the cocoon..?  She's already flying!  Hugging you tight. Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that. Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near. When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back |

sissie "Was is so many years ago And that young ago For a couple sans income" This sounds like a story I've been in a couple of times and years ago.  |

Had a shiver today, myself, SIL. I felt so much reading this...but I have to disagree about that butterfly...at least I can hope you're wrong, huh? Love the rendering. .....jo |
