Array ( [sid] => 58935 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Love's Path [time] => 2004-08-04 23:13:27 [hometext] => Ten years after watching my soulmate leave, I am still looking for her in every crowd. [bodytext] => That path you ask where does it lead
Well sit for a tale most tragic
For once it led to a beautiful tower
Surrounded by a field of magic

Birds did sing and fill the air
With song that lifted the heart
The crickets chirped their merry tune
And the brook did babble its part

Sunshine always filled the day
The ground a carpet of flowers
The leafs would dance upon the breeze
And at night came gentle showers

In the midst of this heavenly glade
A tower standing tall and sure
Its mighty walls were solid and strong
Protecting a heart that’s pure

The lad who made this tower home
Led a life that was free of care
His days were filled with song and dance
His happiness beyond compare

Then came that fateful morning
When a movement caught his eye
For there on the tower window
Sat a beautiful butterfly

Never before the lad did think
Have my eyes beheld such treasure
The colorful patterns on silken wings
Sent out waves of pleasure

He approached both shy yet eager
Afraid she might fly away
With a voice with trembled slightly
He asked if she would stay

After careful contemplation
She said in a voice so low
Stay with you for awhile OK
But in the end I must go

His heart was close to bursting
For he knew down deep inside
That once she saw his beautiful home
She would never leave his side

The days flew by in perfect bliss
Together reaches heights unknown
He soon forgot her careful warning
‘Til one morning she had flown

Now the birds and bees still sang their songs
And the sun still blazed outside
But all was black inside the tower
Reflections of a heart that died

Slowly the darkness spread its wings
‘Til its shadow filled the glade
Then vanish did the birds and flowers
As the magic began to fade

Today the meadow is dark and silent
And all who pass shed tears
For the lad has grown old and lonely
Waiting for her all these years

Love's Path

MrPeanut, have we met ? You tell MY story with such grace and perfection ... Absolutely Wonderful. I think you and I could swap stories and compare scars for days.

A sad and strikingly visual lament on the cost of investing our happiness in the company of others. As Little Nicky would say;

"release the butterflies!" (within)

I hope the quest doesn't take another decade of your life,

Spike
