Escape
by Delilah CoyneAn exquisite phrase flutters
on the edge of my mind;
but the words escape
before I can cage them.
The breath of brilliance fades. 04/09/2005 Author's Note: You know the feeling, right?

| Posted by Kimberly Bare on 04/11/05 at 02:32 AM yes...that describes it perfectly! Welcome to Pathetic |
| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 04/14/05 at 08:29 AM I know the feeling only too well. And, the next moment I sense the frustration of forgetting to write the "brilliance" down. Good work. Welcome to pathetic!
