amid the bluest azure skies, a sad song sang itself amidst a thousand cries of endless promises and lies I watched while you did fling the sun's golden rays at all who sat below the dark clouds ~as if that should warm the heart of a cold world rather than tear it apart~ for in the heat of the moment multiple passionate fires did rage and burn in every land north, south, east, west and love's center vanished into the dust of us who could not fathom the depths of your magnanimity deprived of light I stood silently no...not silently, but with just a whisper on my lips, hands upon squared off angry hips beneath a face now set in stone alone well, that's what happens when you seek a golden rainbow and settle for the colors of mud |

the plight of each rainbow that falls to earth to land its color in mud hope ends in a thud |

"but with just a whisper on my lips, hands upon squared off angry hips beneath a face now set in stone" That whisper is a shout- Out to world, and hands Squarded off on a womans hips Is a universal sign of strength, Of thought and purpose.. (every man knows this is a serious sign Of a womans determination) And the face "set in stone", how could this be? Such a stern look on a womans face, look out world There is a pending hurricane... enjoyed ------------ice/ford ><> |

Ford, now if only I really could shift the winds, change the tides....and you are right about the determination part. Thank you friends, for always helping me stay centered. |

hopes are not always defeated, but transfered to another plain, another something that is supposed to be.... Hugs dear lady |

alone well, that's what happens when you seek a golden rainbow and settle for the colors of mud I didn't know what to expect from the title... and now... I don't want to leave it. *S* This one is definitely going into my library! *S* One of your best, sweet lady... superb!! |
