	Annual Reflections In Depth Perspectives Poetry -Connie Lane Williams
	Ginger flowers and dark houses It's almost your birthday, music next to my bones These nights we hear the horses running in the rain It stops, the moon comes out and we are still here The leaks in the roof go on dripping after the rain has passed Smell of ginger flowers slip through your dark house Down near the sea the slow heart of the beacon flashes The long way to you is still tied to me, it brought me to you I keep wanting to give you what is already yours It is the morning of the morning we never had Closed Doors he fell into her eyes felt himself spinning into her soul the only exit was through her heart, and the doors were closed he could break out, but the damage would be fatal, even his dark side could not imagine such destruction, he could explore their in between worlds, get lost in their labrynth best to stand aside and busy himself within his own soul examine his own heart and his own closed doors * ** * ** * **** * ** *
