Loves Sweet Sorrow part three To Face The Day Dressed up in shades of mellow upon her day she did embark outside the sun was shining brightly but still inside her heart was dark. She sat poised up in the carriage with duty she took her daily ride a painted smile worn upon her lips while hiding pain that flowed inside. She looked out over fields of cotton as the dust clouds drifted out behind struggling to reason with herself his memory returning to her mind. Riding past grande ole river banks the coachmen guided them to town with gloved hand she waved to all no, she dared not to wear a frown. Ladies and Gents were passing by parasoles, tipped hats, "How do you do?" with curtsy and reply she'd say "I'm fine" but inside her heart was turning blue. Then somewhere amongst the crowd his strong voice ringing out to clear her heart made it's silent retreat with soft shedding of single tear. Her heart beat then did quicken when his way she cast her glance and her heart slowly died inside he in love, with his new romance. Bred with southern grace and pride subtly she turned to walk away the smile fading from her lips not to make a return that day. The journey made back from town once again passing cotton fields giving in to loves sweet sorrow once again her heart did yield. seek the flame within yourself |

I agree with KJ, but she has said the same to me and in my silliness....I ignore her wisdom. Beautiful and touching is this poem. |
