| Can You Feel It? What makes a great piece of writing? Is it the rhythm of the words? The way one flows into another? Is it the cadence of a poem? The way one line matches one previous? Is it the passion that is felt by the author? Or the inflection we give the work as we read it? Is it the way we get caught up in the storyline? And the ability to escape into it, At least for the time it takes to read the work. It's all of these things. And the ability to open ourselves up to a whole new world. To feel the words come to life. And to become, in the world of fantasy, The person we dare not be in reality. But only when we can feel in the reading of it, What the author felt in the writing of it, Is it truly a magical experience. Copyright � 1/10/2001 Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |
| Come Back To Me In the middle of the lonely night I think of you And I wonder if you think of me I think you do When I close my eyes you're in my arms Held oh so tight And I savor all the memories And hold them close For memories are all that I have Our time has passed Yet my heart refuses to agree It is still yours Does yours still belong to me? Does it? How can it not? We were far too close to truly part Our souls were one And they still are. Can't you feel it, too? Return to me Until you do, we are incomplete We are two halves Only when together are we whole I need you so I am empty without you, my love Come fill me up With your love, you laughter; with yourself Come back to me Copyright � 12/13/2000 Terri Lyn Stanfield All Rights Reserved |
