Come share a cup of warmth with me; Let’s sup upon a memory; Of long ago, of distant day; Turn melancholy thought away; Rejuvenate the joy inside; Mine treasure by an oceanside; Swim deep beneath the crashing waves; Forsake the anchor that enslaves The heart; skim stones across a lake; Find wonder in each dancing flake That gently pirouettes to earth; Rekindle long lost youthful mirth; Sip nectar from the tender vine Drink deep the honeysuckle’s wine; Let’s reach again for stars on high Believing we can touch the sky Become as children once again Create new memories and then, Enchanted, dance within this place Forever, through all time and space; Come, let’s create a memory; Come, share this cup of warmth with me.

i love the image of the snowflake doing pirouettes.... of course i'm a little flakey myself sometimes and like to dance in the snow so... that's why that one probably hit me... lol... but, denise... this whole poem is really really beautiful!! to be as children again... yes, my friend!... do it!!! there's nothing like freeing up our hearts from the daily stresses and becoming open to new experiences... especially shared ones.. wonderful writing!  |

Is that an open invitation. Beautiful poem, I usually drink my cups of warmth alone but I bet it tastes better in the company of friends. It's in your eyes a fire that's wild and glorious Unhibited, unfinished in everything I do Let the morning rise like our hearts desire" whipping boy |

Yes! An invitation! Let's dance around in the snow at midnight, our cup of warmth topped off with a marshmallow or two, biscotti for dipping, and welcome in the New Year together!! Sounds good to me, my friends!! Denise |

What effect warmth has on people Denise !! like the way you make the cup - its your swirling together of beautiful lines that invokes hearts to draw near, and listen. When friends meet, hearts warm. A beautiful poem. Hope the New Year party was fun! Mario. |
