In the winds of Cherokee song

0 posted 2000-06-21 09:45 AM



The peace within us
   is set forth
through our love
   and our desire

It exists in us because
   we openly choose
  to set our hearts free
and cherish what we share

This is a gift
   of life
  given for our purity
in trust for one another

It is bound in us
   deep within
  allowing us
the pleasure of truth

"What Is Here" springs to mind as a possible title. Welcome to Passions, sit back, relax, read, comment, and get inspired [although from the looks of it, that won't require much...we are all well on our way to enjoying your future works...]

and show the world all the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That your beautiful as you feel.~~~ Carol King
