I learned to pray today Oh, not in just the usual way Not to God for my redemption But to Him for one more exemption Let me not fall in love this time Give me dispassion in my rhyme Close and lock this poet’s heart Make love stop ‘ere it would start Make me sightless to his smile Deaf to his loving words of guile Make me immune to his touch Though I need it, so very much Let me hide behind your divinity Until I am safe from love’s entreaty Secure in my solitude again |

Beautiful Sharon! Although we may dream and pray for the sanctuary and comfort of our solitude, perhaps we may miss the best opportunities? Only time and answers to prayers will tell ... lovely writing and expression in this!  Best wishes, /Kit |

I’ve a cave that’s up for sale, I’m willing to let you move in for free to get away from things for a while if you like. It’s a long way from parties and people and you’d have to put up with me dropping in from time to time but it’s yours if you want it. Thanks for the chance to read and reply Craig Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet. |

Now why would I think that a woman with as large a heart as yours would ever want that much solitude...but I do understand...O I do understand... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Poet devine, so beautiful these words, But don't ever shut out the love, just take time to find the real thing. |

Sharon... This is a brilliant and sad piece. Do what you need to do to survive.... even though I hate to see you shut your self out (if you're speaking of a RL situation). You do what Sharon needs to do....and go on from there! ~Sheri "The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first" |
