Nest Of Love I come to you, like a injured bird on flightless wings; drawn to the safety of your healing arms and soothing voice. Broken and scarred, I find my solace there in your arms and you hold me, scared and trembling, close to you. Softly you whisper words of encouragement, words of love. In a heartbeat, I lose myself in you, and the healing begins. You shelter me, but do not cage me; let me try my wings, knowing all along, that I may spread those wings and fly away. All the while hoping, that the love you've showed will bring me safely back to your nest. < !signature--> Have you ever noticed That the words... "Goodbye" "I'm sorry" "I love you" Are so easy to pronounce ...Yet so hard to say ~Javan [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 02-23-2000).] |

Ruth, I am new to passions but have spent the last week reading some of the poems at this forum. There is some awesome talent here, and you for sure are a true poet! Loved the meaning and message of this poem...also loved the format and flow of it. Amy |

Ruth~ So very beguiling. The softness of the wounded bird, the gentleness of the healing, the confidence in the flight, the return to nest. Lovely, lovely. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Ruth when it comes to things of the heart, I don't think anyone could put it better than you! <*\\\>< There's only two ways you can go... One way you can save your riches, And the other will save your soul. Rich Mullins |

Beautiful thoughts hoot owl. I have often thought that even though one hurts us another will come into our lives to help us heal. It could be a new friend or lover. James |
