Yesterday I saw you yesterday. Caught a glimpse of your face, As I watched my reflection In the ripples of a pond. I heard you yesterday. While walking through the forest, I heard your voice In the rustle of the leaves on the trees. I felt you yesterday. Felt your touch on my skin, As the warm rays of the sun Lovingly caressed it. I may not have been with you yesterday; But I saw you, heard you, felt you, As I do everyday, In all that I do. ------------------ Alis volat propriis (She flies with her own wings) |

To feel the presence of important people in our lives although they are far away and then to write about it so well in a beautiful poem, you have done both. |

Well, Ruth, as long as you didn't see his face in the pool while looking at the scum, then that's a good thing. hehe Your poem and sentiments, by the way, are beautiful. |

I've learned that it's not a good idea to read your poetry one right after the other, for some reason it brings tears to me. Tears of joy ( when you found sam) sadness (veterans day) and now I don't know why I'm crying. love your poetry...walk with your head high knowing you've made a difference in someones life. |

You paint a vivid picture. I know this feeling. I've written of it myself. The reader feels the absolute passion. Excellent piece -RS ------------------ |

I felt you in the breath of breeze upon my skin -- in the embrace of the night's loving arms who whispers dreams of you into my soul; I tasted of your kiss In drops of summer rain: the only fount to quench my thirsty heart. Sorry -- this really moved me, as you can tell. Inspiring. --Kess ------------------ You cannot choose the way of your death, but the path you choose will determine its own end. |
