broken pieces fell to earth
distant now the memories
we saw each other
through anothers Eye
in a single moment
the life we had...ended
still the door that
has opened brings new possiblities
will I pretend I never
loved you or will time
stop again and lend me
a few seconds to capture
the perfect memory
of paradise
will the sun burn
an inscription for eternity
keep the sacred pen
by your side and write forever
this seems to be a dream
this feeling lasting longer than expected
so I'll wait hold onto
what has been given
reach out to the closest friend
kiss the hand of a begger
wash the feet of one walking
and bow at dawn
who am i beside the ocean
tears fell last night waiting to hear
childrens voices calling for daddy
to read to them carry them
over the sea or
walk singing again
a quiet place finds silence among
those things hoped for
while the light of a loners smile
speaks to a heart trapped by fear
spilled milk a baby cries
while her mother awakens
finding serenity in her arms
broken pieces fell to earth
leaving all the lies
shattered

That was beautiful the relationship of the words just like to mother and baby and spilled milk to a child crying to the father loving his children. All love contained in a rare and quiet moment. I miss reading your stuff.

thank you for your response...there are so many moments in here that some work goes untouched it seems contrite to expect appreciation and then there is bliss I am away from writing right now but I shall God willing return

Your words have a distinct melancholy sound ... like wind chimes falling to the ground ... *clanging/tinkling/shattering*

Your writing in this pCe reminds me of someone talking to themselves in the mirror -- with words bouncing back reflecting life's issues.


I've missed reading your ish -- ;)

These six lines speak loud volumes for my life

I loved this one. I actually saved it simply because I can relate quite a bit on several levels. Always a pleasure to read your work. Awsome job

Ya know I had to come back and re-read this because it's so quiet and serene.
