Rhiannon Raventhorn's blog: "Raven Haven"

"I think I'm falling in love with you... is that o.k.?"

A hunger,
needing to find the right words.
Trying to locate
beyond the shock and through the tears.

All I could think of was you,
being with you.
How comforted I was
When I sat in your arms.

Knowing you were there
memorizing your touch
How I forced myself
to withdrawal

Closing my eyes
I felt the vibrations in your chest
As you softly sang to me.

Trying to picture you
as a child.
Wanting to know
Your life

Thinking of Alaska,
wishing I had known you there
How sweet it would have been
To share the beauty with you

But we did share it
Without knowing

Remembering the county
Another place
We had both been
Once upon a time

On a lonely night
I found you

"Why you?"
"Why me?"
"Why anything?"

"I think I would enjoy falling in love with you."

If this only lasts a day, a week, a year....

I want to be there for you
to be there with you
If you will be there with me

Let us be afraid together!

"Its everything that makes you close your eyes
Take a deep breath...
and wish time would stop...."

"The endless snow covered peaks of Alaska."

"The first sunset at the end of the season."

"The quiet wonder after a long blizzard in the county."

"The hushed whisper of traffic on I-70."

"The awe of seeing the clouds settle slowly over the mountains."

"Full moon powder skiing."

"Walking a deserted ski resort at night, with the person you love."

"Doing avalanche control at Copper or Breck by yourself."

I wish time had stopped for us....
