Through his eye we experience
...the mysteries of love
The beauty of womanhood,
the passion of romance
the unending joy of life
with wonder, as a child
in things seen and heard
and the miracle is
through him
we become as children
filled with
passion
joy
glory
in sights unseen

Through his eye we explore a wondrous world
He leads patiently
to places we have never been
to look
to smell
to hear
his world of magick
and the wonder is
we travel
with his words
to a gentler time
a softer place
where romance blooms
in wonder.



Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant - Thoreau

Kethry, your words are the paints which colour these pages with love. This is such a wonderful amazing write from you, brilliant. And this is a fantastic portrait you have painted, and I love it as always.
Take care

Mr. Yeats' urban travels through word lend credence to the gaiety, and travails, of City Life...I always picture him on the concrete, looking West...I look East...and thoughts meet on the wind...

this is good Kethry...

ethome,
yes it's a picture of Wil and he makes it perfect.  

Marsha,
I see him painted in the sunsets.(But then I'm hallucinating  )

Sunshine, He has the most powerful whisper on the wind I've ever heard, so glad you hear it too.

Live well

you have captured Wil's poetic essence well
his poetry is very romanntic and sincere
and his style is pure class
great write Keth ...
your insight is 20/20  

I looked into the sky for my anthem
The words and music came through
But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen
Looking into you

Sven,
I think we've both been bugged.

Janet Marie,
I see and so does he.

Wilfred, my friend
if I got it right
it's cause at your end
you're pure delight
now I will send
my second sight
hope you defend
and always...write.

Live well
Kethry
