Orion's Belt

my heart felt the pain of love once gone
footsteps tread on cold, smooth stone
I hardly recognized my life
trails unmarked--no clear cut signs 
the music and the laughter gone

the glory of this that I now see
days so golden, fields of green
I shield my eyes to these bright days
less I falter or they go away
taking with them my warmth

ponder deeply all this I feel
free of pain and the walls I built
vanished now into thin air
my heart pounds when you are near
and I'm striding across Orion’s belt

Love lifted you that high..I enjoyed reading your work ..The one that you love should be honored to read this one...The one that is gone should regret the loss of one who can love so deeply..Sara

as one does one remenesses and misses happier days gone by with the breese that comes and goes into our lives. then the breese is gone and there is stillness for a while untill another breese comes along. wait for that breese and fly with him accross the sky to orions belt.
