Tender Render
~*Marge Tindal*~

The tender render from your pen
picked me up and took me in
clamoring the recesses of your mind
that I could only hope to find

Within your quill
I feel the thrill
of life colored with your ink
Take me on to life beyond
living on your brink

Drop me on the shoreline
of your castle's built so fine
Let me feel the ocean's roar
tide surging from you forevermore

Lift me to the mountain crest
view sunlight setting in the West
Melting snow on covered hills
unfurl now the daffodils

Spreading chestnut branches wide
shading all you feel inside
Rest with me in hammock made
between the branches of her shade

To the rill of valleys wide
babbling brook of your inside
Enjoin me in the searching foray
of knowing just what you will say

Etched with ink upon my heart
scenes you've stroked will not depart
You have writ upon my soul
tender render of your unfold

Share with me your joy so tender
painted with your indelible render

The render of your special pen
gives honor both to men & women.
Your castles bright and full of much love
kissing us with sunshine from skies above.
Upon your tidal waves we surf your precious words
and hear your rhymes sing to us like some chirping birds.
you walk us down your sandy shoreline with confidence and strength
as each sand speck is a moment of beauty  in your life written for us in length.

She makes us cry with heart felt pasts,
While laughter makes our hearts all dance.
Brightening a cloud filled day,
While tears ofpain show us the way.

To this and thine we all find true,
A poet just as good as you.

Isn't that just what 'home' is all about.
Sharing and caring ... our words ... our hearts.

Okay, girl .... just for you.  

Found within the tunnel ride

riding on words of poet borne.

There are new people I will know.
I know this to be true
But they will never spark the glow
I get from knowing you.

There are new pathways I will tread
Not knowing where they lead
And I may profit or, instead,
May fail to succeed.

But there's one thing I know for sure
That when I reach the end
There's nothing that I can't endure
Because you are my friend.

Your words are like my greatest friends
That lift me when I'm down.
So many times my smile depends
On whether you're around.

You thank us all for being here?
Marge, you must be unsound!
The heart don't thank the skeleton
For hauling it around.

You are the heart and spirit of
The beauty that you see.
You fill our minds with hope and love
And calm serenity.

I know my world has been enriched
Each time that you appear
And, though it's just a little niche,
Thanks, Marge, for being here

Oh, sweet, sweet Balladeer~

Now you made this little heart cry.
You have to know
that I love your friendship so much.  

You've been more than a friend.

The challenge of inspiration
to this heart of poetry.
More than anyone else
you've inspired the best from me.
You've encourage me to 'reach in'
and in doing so ... reach out,
so others can begin to see
what this lady is about.
For all the love you've shared
written on my heart,
thank you, my personal 'skeleton'
for hauling around my heart.
Love you

Thank you and thank you.

This piece means a lot to me simply because it reflects my feelings about having such talented and caring people that have inspired me and lifted me to new heights.
I've learned so much here and thank everyone for their beautiful poetry.
Wanted to tell everyone that you never know how you will inspire someone and how it will be appreciated.
Much love to you also, my friend.
