Array ( [sid] => 44092 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My Elusive Moment [time] => 2004-04-20 18:09:36 [hometext] => Questions during a uneasy and emotional time in my life...but it speaks of how sometimes writing is indeed therapy. [bodytext] => In this elusive moment, what is it that I seek,
a touch, a smile, unknown pleasure's yet to reap?
My youth, or riches, or promises that weren't kept,
meanings to the reason's for the many tears I've wept?

I know that it is peace I feel that I must find,
look ahead of me and forget what's left behind,
and yet, I cannot help but wonder, will I ever be the same,
to be a little naughty, to once again play the game ,
of a flirting heart and slightly mysterious ways,
to give a gentle touch and a steadfast gaze?

Will a door once again open for me to step inside
and see the face of someone staring with unspoken pride?
Will I laugh and not stumble on this mighty hill I climb,
have the strength to make the statement, "give me back my life, it's mine!

Funny, just writing about the things I've sought
was enough to show me, I've learned what I've been taught,
it's not what's left for the world to see,
it's what's left inside, that tells the world, "It's ME!"

A toast to that marvelous and beautiful teasing thought, may it live on forever and touch that star, to be whatever and whoever you choose.

Have missed seeing your words my sweet friend. Thank you for sharing these words.
