Like the thought...She stoops<br />And gathers the petals<br />Like the thoughts she has scooped <br />Tenderly from the dewdrops of her<br />Sweetest recollection.<br />'Today I shall wander through the <br />Meadow, and feel the vibrance of<br />Grass beneath my bare skinned feet', she allows herself to think, <br />Idly sashaying over Nature's ballroom, <br />Waltzing with abandon through admirers of many hues. <br />Poppies sway majestically, welcoming the debutante, <br />The thorny rose puts reticence aside, <br />Greeting her presence with the crimson of desire, <br />While ancient verdigris oaks seem almost to bow, <br />Offering humility despite their <br />Rootedness<br />In the permanence of time.<br />And so, she gathers the violets, <br />Precious amethysts of the field,<br />Holds them close to her fragrant<br />Beating heart, and begins her<br />Exploration of earth's delicious<br />Jewel bedecked treasure trove, <br />Bounty for a season, <br />Blessing from the dawn's break, <br />Refuge to the senses till the setting of the midnight sun,<br />And breathes in deep the life-affirming Air, <br />Scented to Perfection<br />With the essence of Love.Sacha van Stratenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041060468903643437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5556512955091936745.post-77558116610540509852009-06-30T09:14:31.244-07:002009-06-30T09:14:31.244-07:00Hi!

The day you left was the saddest day of my life...and not knowing even if you are still with us haunts me to this day. Running away was your solution and our punishment...we have served our sentence after these 15 years. You would be 31 years old now...please come home if you are still alive...<br /><br />We miss you so much.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Mom and DadDan Felsteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917775645881312007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5556512955091936745.post-7174879241418613922009-06-30T06:45:59.375-07:002009-06-30T06:45:59.375-07:00Pansies
