~*~

I am immortal.
Tho' this weary flesh be no more,
The inner me lives on.
For I am of the Eternal Light.
The flame within may brighten and dim,
But it will never die.
I come and I go,
I am and I am not.
As I have always been,
So shall I be again;
Same book, different cover,
Tho' hopefully improved
Each time the story's written.

Heh-heh-- I'm a retread, myself.....

I like the continuity here. You keep the tone just-so, all the way through, without hindering the internal movement of the poem.

Well conceived, and well written.

(smiles) And as the cover continues to change, the pages will grow in more high quality print with your sentiments and virtues etched in gold and your heart beating with a crescendo of strength! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, you always bring everyone justice with your gorgeous words, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Lovely, lovely, lovely!  

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

Cinnamon & mocha are two of my favorite flavors! I knew I liked you even before I read your phenominally sweet reply!
