scribe of life
stir us into your story
tend to our soul
describe destiny,
obscurity into rest

see in fond rose
style of olde
tint so red
restful dry eye

flyer on deft sun
listen for dust
tour under soft soil
frost or tinder
tide
isle
fury

ode is tired
cry
truly
tune

dry eyes

---------------------------------------------------------------
Note: The title words within refers to the fact that all of the words of this poem can be found in the letters of "butterflies don't cry".  Thank you.

Holly sings when poet rings
her rhyme
with time
and thought
and tender care...

To Holly!

Thank you for including me in your gallery
Sven I don't deserve such a beautiful
tribute but thank you from the bottom of my
heart~
I truly don't feel worthy of any of
the kind remarks here but am touched by the
display of friendship in your replies and
hearts.  Many thanks to all of you~

Sven~
What talent you display -
in displaying the talents of others.

*Yeah ... she's okay - as butterflies go ! *wink*

On wings of fragility, the strength of her words
give her the ability to soar.

Muchly loved and admired.

I'm impressed, this is great Sven.
The fact that you used her name and penned a piece from it is awesome.
Well done Sir!

Sven: a perfect tribute to Holly, she does deserve it.  And Sven, you are truly talented and very caring to have written so many poems for others!    Maybe we should all write a poem just for you!  But, then again, words are not enough to show you how much we love ya!

Take care,
Melissa

Beautifully written and no better butterfly to write of than our own little butterfly that spreads so much joy and happiness in our lives within the blue pages.  It must have taken some time for you to come up with words and put them together without using a single letter not found in "butterflies_dont_cry" and that shows your dedication to making your poems honoring the poets here special.  Well done again sir.

This one is impressive.  I know it was a challenge, but you have done an excellent job with it.

I mananged to find about 20 or so pages of real words. . . but then had to work them togehter into something that made sense. . . and here it is. . . thank you. . .

LW, thanks. . . glad that you liked it. . . it was indeed a challenge. . . but once I had the idea. . . it wouldn't go away!!

*amy's note--
i've noticed a lot of pain & hurt in
our "family" here as late. i am so glad
we all can share our feelings in depth
and express ourselves to one another.
here is just a lil something for every-
one here. take care.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

some things happen in life
and we have no idea why
why the winds are forever changing
and time just passes by

but all happens for a reason
God does indeed have a plan
and everything that happens
fate and destiny do have a hand

unbearable pain sometimes occurs
and it leaves us alone in tears
the inevitable persona of "death"
forever leaving us with our fears

but sometimes good in life happens
and miracles occur and come true
and it's those times that we must hold onto
allowing the grace of light through

life is a ever changing cycle
sometimes just don't make no sense at all
seems no matter how hard we try
we're always hitting another wall

but then when you least expect it
destiny steps in, and the bad is turned around
she never makes much noise
comes and goes without making a sound

but always know this one thing
you can forever bet it's true
miracles and dreams do occur
how do i know? because i see them in every single one of you...

love you all much!
~amy~
