I just got through reading a Highland romance; forgive this one if you will.
Flaming silk flows
Waving o'er porcelain shoulders
Framing delicate features
Dusted with fairy magic;
Fair . . .

Looking over the city
The lights winked in the distance.
We sat on the hood of his car.
I don't even remember what model,
But I remember . . .
I shivered;
He put his jacket . . .

When trouble falls soft,
Like summer rain,
There is almost a pleasure
In the strength . . .
The shelter of loving arms;
But when the storm becomes icy, cruel,
The protecter weeps, breaks,
When . . .

Prologue
In darkest hours, the brave of heart look toward an unseen dawn.
They rise again to what will be and not what has foregone.

Chapter 2
The rebirth of the earth in spring, rushing rivers, melting snow,
A budding flower, a morning song, a skip in step, says on life goes.

Silence
No listen . . .
Fingers tapping on the keyboard,
The laptop fan turns on;
The refrigerator hums;
The air conditioner choruses in;
Pawing, scratching on the door,
Did I forget to feed . . .

And so it begins . . .
The end:
Seeking a vision,
A future,
To find only obscurity;
Looking back,
Wonderning what really was;
Childhood memories now even evade,
Only suffering, a dwindling away, . . .

Who are you?
Haven't we met?
Loved once?
Laughed?
Actually liked one another?
Where did we go?
Was it the ballgames,
Cubscouts, homework?
Your work?
Was it when I
Went back to school?

Standing there on the edge
Carelessly,
Staring into foolishness,
Teetering,
But then loving arms
Throughout the day
Drew me to the warmth
Of belonging; . . .

Why do we hide from the truth,
And then scream, you lied to me?
Why do we point at injustice, but not our own?
A few with so much power . . .
Not the world leaders,
But the world press.
The truth . . .
