I wrote this in honor of all the people here at Passions!  Thank-you!  I finally passed 1000 posts!

Debbie


Passionate Island

One day as I was surfing,
I was carried to a shore
Onto a lovely island
With so much to explore

At first a little timid
I hid myself from sight
And watched the natives from afar
(Afraid that they might bite!)

The great and fearless chief
As kind as he was wise
Stood guard off in the distance
With a vision in his eyes

I studied all their rituals
And learned to speak their tongue
So thirsty for the passion shared
Between the old and young.

Hungering to join them
Starving to belong
I wandered to their welcome fire
And sang their tribal song

Such emotion filled the air!  
Until the day was done
Chanting with a single voice
Thousands, though as one

And though I tend to drift away
To other foreign places
I always float back with the tide
To these familiar faces.

This island is my haven
A home without a wall
Where I can visit anytime
Encircled by them all!



“A home without a wall,
Our haven without ends,
A circle we all call
Our Family of Friends!”

STANDING OVATION!!! CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 1000 MILESTONE! I still have a way to go to get up there, I've been busy with school so I haven't gotten to do much until now! (smiles) Such a beautiful tribute to Passions, I just know Balladeer and Marge Tindal and everyone else will love it! Thank you and we all too are inspired greatly by your love and words! (smiles) You have such a beautiful heart, dear friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Congratulations on your 1000th post!! I think with each voice added to the family chorus, the Song of Passions is sweeter. And your voice can be heard among us here!!! You did a wonderful job on this - thank you!

Wow...thanks to everybody that took the time to reply to my poem!  This place truly is a passionate island and I'm so glad that I get to share it with you!
I don't know of any other such place where so many good people gather...it's truly paradise don't you think?
Thanks again for helping me celebrate my first milestone.
Keep writing!
