(The scene:
    A large, grassy field with a pond to one side.  Tall mountains are in
the background.  It is morning and traces of the sun are just beginning to
be seen.  In the middle of the field a clump of large rocks lay against each
other.  On the top of one, a lone figure can be seen.  At a closer look, it's
the Shadowette....maskless.  The birds are twittering around proclaiming the
morning and she smiles.  She is sitting with her hands locked below her knees. 
A light breeze is blowing...she lifts her head and feels it blowing her hair
and cape.  She closes her eyes and the sounds of the chirping birds and the
breeze dies out and she hears a song............) 

BURNING

When I look at you
I melt like a candle,
You light a fire in me.
What am I to do?
I just hope I can handle
The heat and the smoke blinding me.

This feeling, this fire,
This burning desire,
Is raging its way through my soul.
And if you feel the same
Help me fan the flames
'Till we're burning out of control.

Burning to know you,
Burning to show you,
That I felt this way from the start.
Burning with passion,
I do hope its lasting
And it's burning a hole in my heart.

You kindle in me
A warm glowing feeling,
A spark and a flicker of hope.
It's more then a game
And like moths to a flame,
We're drawn to its warmth and its glow.

These embers of love
Are fueled by the notion
This could be an eternal flame. 
Consumed by the blaze,
I fear it's too late
'Cause this torch that I hold bears your name.

Oh, and I'm burning to know you,
Burning to hold you,
It's grown to a flame from a spark.
Burning with passion,
I do hope it's lasting
And it's burning a hole in my heart.

Oooh, I'm burning with passion
I do hope it's lasting........

..I've had so many dreams fall apart...

And it's burning a hole in my heart...

I'm burning.....
oooh, I'm burning
Oooo...I'm burning....


                        -Written by Dolly Parton


Would, that I could, say that I wrote this.....
But I didn't, so I can't and I won't.

So has anyone ever felt this way?????  Because I sure have!!
And every time I hear this song, it reminds me.........*ho hum* *sigh* 

(A sad, heart-wrenching sigh can be heard as the Shadowette opens her eyes.
 The breeze seems to have died down and the sun is rising higher.  She jumps
 off the rock and grabs her mask......Slowly, she walks off, swinging it in 
 her hand....There is no laughter in her heart today....) :-(
