Skip-Beats Standing by the stone carved with your name Ipod earpiece singing wooded flute laments, I see your eyes shimmering behind the closed lids of my own, and my heart skip-beats, skip-beats, beats . . . A year has passed? Couldn’t have. Just couldn’t have been a year since the relentless knawing of the beast inside silenced the songs you used to play, the wooded flute laments I hear. Sadden souls cry fading out in long, single notes rising suddenly,at the end. You knew, and your soul cries for life in the voice of the wooded flute. You sang the glory of living . . . the songs of life, you aged it’s tone with your heart, melded it’s soul with your own. And my heart skip-beats, skip-beats, beats. . . Christmas, a year ago – coming soon. Wooded flute crying in my soul . . . skip-beats, skip-beats . . . beats. © w.james beard, jr. december 2006 [This message has been edited by jwesley (12-19-2006 09:37 PM).] |

That one. Well that one is lovely. You show it, and I feel it and hear it. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

very touching, indeed; after I posted, I regretted that I didn't save this in my library... That's easy enough to remedy! Thank you for sharing. misc |
