oOo

oOo

She sits by the water with leaves in her hair

The wind in her skirts and her song in the air

She sings of her sorrow, she sings with her glee

A song of her memories and make believe

oOo

And time drifts on by

Like steps in the sand

Her wishes are warming

The love in her hands

She'll never grow distant

desperate or dark

Her heart's in the open

her gaze on the stars

oOo

Feathers and blossoms they go with the spring

Winters are wanting and wavering

And the freedom left smothered deep in the chest

Longs for embrace in watery depths

oOo

And time drifts on by

Like steps in the sand

Her wishes are warming

The love in her hands

She's admitted defeat

Diminished and done

A smile on her lips

She waits for the sun

oOo

The ripples are crusted with sunset gold

The color of dreams from days of old

They're dancing and flirting for all those to see

The ripples of memories and make believe

oOo

oOo

oOo

B.B: Experimenting with the effects of layout on the reading of poetry. A little complaint about how FP doesn't keep more than 2 spaces between lines. Iv'e tried "."'s and ":"'s but it keeps deleting them. Finally settled for 'oOo', but they're a bit obtrusive. Seriously limiting. Does they layout do anything for you?
