To Turn and Behold she turned about and around and glimpsed, one early morning, at the feel of a thought, and although the songbirds were welcoming the morning, Ra's rays were dancing with the dust motes, and the breeze still smelled of starshine and leftover moonlight she beheld the stranger that had been harboring this bizarre, inner period for some time, and whom had finally made a quiet entrance, this peculiar individual that seemed as unique in stature as any one seemingly female might be, if they could be unique from others' comparisons, and she turned, and faced the stranger of her inner soul, on hearing the faint sound of a lonesome thought, and in her reason she felt the warmth of the exclusive embrace which allowed as to let her discern it would be all right for all time and confidently welcomed into her heart this new friend… and felt then again as one as she acquiesced age < !signature--> Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 11-14-2000).] |

Sunshine, you are coming up with more styles than I can keep track of...and each one is better than the one before....and I have NEVER seen Ra outside of a crossword puzzle! Kidding aside, this poem is very special  |

Sunshine, Nice writing and interesting concept. It is through self acceptance that we are able to achieve inner peace and happiness. Well said. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Kari, wonderful, utterly amazing poem, I really love this one Kari. Your work is so awesome it just keeps getting better and better. (I'm not one to stiffle poetic inspiration, but can't you slow down just a little. I'm running out of superlatives with you.)And then what will I do, I'll have to find some more I suppose. Can't quite see myself doing that scene from Aladdin, where the wicked Ebernaza, goes round giving new lamps for old. Only in my case it would be, new superlatives for old. (Oy! psst, got any old praise going, I can give you 4 wonderfuls for that missus) Sorry I'm in a frivalous mood, it's one of those days.  Take care Majestic Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Karilea~ Much reflection here - 'and she turned, and faced the stranger of her inner soul, on hearing the faint sound of a lonesome thought,' Hey ... I got one of those too or is that two ? Sometimes I think you're at the boutique trying on different styles - this one becomes you ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
