Connected to God, in tune with nature, heartfelt passions spoken in a line. What better place to find serenity than in the prayer of a poet online. Gathered in unity, divided in style; souls searching for perfect peace touching lives by a timely rhyme giving solace and pain’s release. Seeking an emissary to heaven’s throne? To whisper entreaties to Angel’s there; No better place to reach God’s ear than through the power of a poet’s prayer. |

wow......stunned silence, but I felt I must as how much I enjoyed this poem and how wonderfully you described the power of poetry and its place on the net....ok stunned silence again....wow Connected to God, in tune with nature, heartfelt passions spoken in a line.

Hi Poet deVine, I have to agree with Brian except add a tear for if it were not for this place of passions I would be lost with out hope or understanding for I have grown in to a women knowing fully of her direction and how to walk through this life because of my chance to express my most inner feelins here. God answered my prayers one day when I happened upon this site and my life will never be the same even if this place disapeared because I will have learned that my soul has the right to live how it wants to as long as I do not put judgement or pain on another. Thank you so much for this lovely and truthful peice. Love, Cerenity |

This will definitely become one of my favorites, Sharon. Indeed, I think I hear a certain newsletter crying out for this to be included,, so a few thousand more can be reminded of the Power of a Poet!  |

Beautiful, and so very true. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

PDV--What a treasure to have you pen what we feel. In the week that I have been here I have had my spirits and my desire lifted by all. And you of course were one of my first responses to my first post. Thanks again. [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 06-28-2000).] |
