She walks the city streets falling into the doorway’s shade then quickly moving out again her eyes on the ground dark and somber She is looking for something to steal and I fear she will take it from me this happiness that lights my way most days she has lost hers and searches the windows trying to find it without a reflection Last night I saw her at a restaurant moving slowly almost looking at me and then away knowing my interest was probing her shadow where she thought she hid I wanted to reach out to her and gave her a smile like a corner table with the chair pulled out for her but no...came rushing towards me as suddenly as the gust of cold wind from the door that she closed [This message has been edited by Martie (02-04-2006 08:56 PM).] |

Sometimes a gust of cold wind is a gift not appreciated but the shiver passes as do most things. Happiness, however, is always ours to have and to hold no matter what - once the shiver has passed, of course. Enjoyed the read, Martie. |

This means so very much for me, this day, sweetheart. Thank you so very, very much. I do understand, on all of the levels known of loss. |

"She is looking for something to steal and I fear she will take it from me" ~ Hang on to your happiness! Don't let anyone or anything take from you what you so richly deserve. Words fail me when it comes to me expressing just how much I appreciate your talent! Be happy! Stay happy! Hugs with love, Linda |

Excellent writing! Be careful where your eyes wander. Your eyes see between more lines than most. *smile* |

I wanted to reach out to her and gave her a smile like a corner table with the chair pulled out for her but no Powerful Words! |
