Beautiful

Thank you so much, Scarlet!

this. when you write this way, so honestly, so straightforward without frills. this is beauty & sorrow in it's purest form...
"by and by  
I'm told  
by and by"
... that did me in. not that the rest isn't truly heartbreaking, but i can hear that mournful hymn and feel tears stinging my eyes

the title suggests something so carefree, so innocent and untainted then... wham!
best of luck in the comp, amico mio

Merci Beaucoup chère! This one just came in with the rising tide of tears. Thank you so much for your encouragement.

Ahhh, Gahddess_Worship, luv ~ :-*

This one is nearly indescribably painful. I came and read it before and had to leave it for awhile before commenting, luv. Things too fresh for me...

You write like a child in this one, luv, a child bereft of his mother. I mean to say here that your tone is evocative of that child and all the more devastating for it.

You draw deep emotion with this one, luv, with incredible finesse and skill. You do profound justice to your subject and to these memories, luv. :-*

With deep sentiment I thank you Savaja! Know that I cried a flood of tears while writing this.

You are most welcome, luv. I have no doubt you did. It is such a painfully heart-wrenching thing. :-* I see you, luv.

This yearning to remember, to have, to *know-
duz not stop, but gets pushed into that hidden "healing zone," sez me..
I hope you cherish ur mirror m'dear, & find her there within yourself ;)

Thank you so much Darksighs! That's what so frustrating is not knowing what of her to look for in my own reflection.

my goodness! this is just...heart wrenching. and beautiful. all at the same time. very well done.

Thank you so much Larkspur! I hesitate to write such words because they make me sad but when the heart dictates I'm there to write it down.
