I don't own Forever Knight and are just borrowing the characters for a little while, and promise to put them back when I'm done. Well, maybe. Special thanks to Judy F for beta reading and input. This can be archived at Mel's site,FK2 site,FTP site, the NNpack page and Mortal Love. Feedback is very much welcome at FancyKnight313@aol.com. This is my very first piece, a combination of poetry and story, so please be kind. If you don't see the end at the bottom of the story, you don't have it all. ************************* The Mystical Grove L.K. Parks ************************ The Mystical Grove As we walk along the woodland glade, we chance upon what nature's made. As the sun beat down i look in to your eyes to see the wonder as you see A ring of trees in a misty haze, wonders never cease to amaze. that we stand here today. it feels like yesterday that we were talking about what it would be like to see and now as we stand here looking at the Leaves fluttering on a windy day, with love and faith and what God will bring come what may. As I say your name and you look at me and see the sun light shining down from the sky you say my name in a whisper hoping this is not a dream. As we focus upon the path, we realize we're not alone. With colors unseen and movement unknown, you slip your arm around me as we walk on. The Spirits of creation, spirits of earth, warmth and friendliness, a little mirth. Spirits of the ancient wood empower the mind, with all that is good. Peaceful thoughts are all around, as we're stood there on the ground. As you bend down and kiss me on the lips to take my breath away. As you bend down to one knee and ask me Nat will you be my wife? And as I say yes with tears of joy in my eyes. I love you Nick. Hopes for the future set the tone, everybody part of it no one alone. Sunlight breaks through on the furthest stone as we walk on though the grove to enjoy nature's gift as the shaft of light makes a kiss, as we feel uncontaminated bliss. Connecting with the cosmos, feeling as one, a new journey has just begun. and I truly believe when all is said and done with love and faith anything can be done. The End "You will live longer than in your wildest dreams. You will watch life begin, and end, and begin anew. I taught Nero the tune, and together we watched Rome burn. I rode with Charlemagne, and taught Genghis Khan lessons of war. All of these opportunities I have given to you. A life never threatened by age or disease. You are a blessed man, Nicholas...."   -LaCroix ------------------------ Yahoo!
