I used to think it would be nice to hear from you just once or twice-- a day-to keep my blues away, My dream? I dreamt it anyway. And then I thought it would be sweet to hear from you just once a week... how seldom does the soul find speak? I learned to write in shades of blue. And now you speak within the tide, once, for every full moon's cry - your words, a hand upon mine now as if we'd made some silent vow. A message in a bottle, drifts, and fingers yearn your fingertips. And next? Is -total silence due. Gray days shade the sunstreamed hue, each thing I am become again? Is just because you were my friend. Every word I write is yours. You gave me keys to cellblock's doors. |

a day-to keep my blues away, My dream? I dreamt it anyway. =================== how seldom does the soul find speak? I learned to write in shades of blue. And now you speak within the tide, once, for every full moon's cry - your words, a hand upon mine now as if we'd made some silent vow. A message in a bottle, drifts, and fingers yearn your fingertips. And next? Is -total silence due. Gray days shade the sunstreamed hue, each thing I am become again? ================ Every word I write is yours. ================ so very few bleed so poetically perfect so very few have rhyme divine flowing thru their veins... so very few .... write with grace like you do ... and Im so grateful I get to read these gifts from you hugs baby .... (Me thinks we need a get out of jail free card for a long weekend of *winkiewinkie*) Some find subtlety in strangers some find subtlety alone Your eyes,you see everything my eyes,I see its all together now and I know. ~candlebox~ |

I guess this touched me somplace where everybody else might relate with.You see i have been behind those doors waiting 4 those words,somtimes they may never come so you kind of learn to become one person without help from others.Sometimes you must save yourself.you made me think with this one.Thanks very good. |

Awesome, and why is it that the best of things seem to fade away like that? This was truly felt deeply. Sandra |

I read this through several times... so many wonderful lines... the demise of frequency and its effects are described so well... Beautiful! |

This is excpression in a moving flow. but the words...MUST be yours..given as a gift, yes, but oh, our words, are so special, I enjoyed this one. Kathleen Blake "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

"I learned to write in shades of blue"...I remember and old black lady that used to sit at the foot of Canal staring out at the river and sing bluesie songs, sometimes nothing more than humming - for herself I always thought, since it wasn't very loud and she had no instruments of any kind - but when I read that line she immediately leapt to mind. Thanks, had forgotten her...and I really shouldn't. Really need to add her to Boyhood Tales. jwesley [This message has been edited by jwesley (edited 03-12-2001).] |

everyone can relate I believe..I wait patiently, one day sometimes becomes two and sometimes longer..and yet when the time lengthens so do those strings to my heart..they just pull a little harder trying to rein in the words... ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

jb....thank you again my sister! I'm trying to read and reply more, but I keep getting that dratted boot! Grrr....but thank you, and hugs! Bernie...yanno? I've been thinking that maybe I shouldn't spend so much time wishing...sometimes it's more fulfilling to just let things go, and then sit back with a bowl of popcorn and watch! Being happy anyway just may be the best revenge!jwesley...what a great memory! you DO need to capture that--do you also recall Ruthie the Duck Lady? She is now in a nursing home, in case you do know who I'm talking about. I just love new orleans, only in new orleans would they consider erecting a statue to a local eccentric character as she! (Yes, they are talking about it, complete with duck!) wynter...it's spryngtime and this little bird wants to learn to fly...lol...thank you for reading, I'll have to e ya until I get my pc mess sorted out. I'm okay, and I hope you are well too. Thank you! Love to all. |
