 ~Resurrection~ Holy Empyrean born of night ... baptized in heavenly celestial light. Forgiveness granted ... a most glorious resurrection, a new path to follow leading in God's direction. Walk on water ... pass thru doors of time ... psalms of healing rebirth ... silence requiem chimes. In a garden of Eden ... in a hidden paradise ... in cleansing ceremony, sin is offered up to forgiving sacrifice. Wrapped in robes of gold shimmering, wise men bring gifts of jewels glimmering. Wings on palms grant freedom of flight ... look towards the heavens ... witness the circling light. Rites of passage are guaranteed, atonement grants this venial heart freed. On bended knee, whispered prayers and vows, Past memories of pain ... take their final bows. Pharohs and prophets collect a visions sign ... scriptures passed down ... their message divine. This poets soul released from midnight's tomb, stationed in waiting ... protected by a blessed cocoon. An angel sings her verse of love's undying emotions, prayers are whispered ... promises of devotion. Resurrection grants this gift of healing rebirth, witness the miracle of creation ... both in heaven and on earth. Janet Marie ~in loving memory of DeVante'~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~  ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~Bridge Of Love~ Hold a memory ... touch a photograph ... this love still remains ... golden engraved epitaph. A bridge to be built ... to cross to the other side, on either shore ... an angel waits ... arms open wide. To kiss sweet fate ... to dance with destiny, On a wing and prayer ... a soul to set free. Winds of change ... sands of time, hear this prayer ... read this rhyme. I will wait forever ... here on your beaches of understand ... by the waters edge ... hand on heart ... heart in hand. Janet Marie for ~DeVante'~... as promised, with love always. ~I miss you~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~  *repost* ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~Saints and Angels~ sung by: Sara Evans From the CD: Born To Fly We're only human, baby We walk on broken ground We lose our way We come unwound We'll turn in circles, baby We're never satisfied We'll fall from grace Forget we can fly But through all the tears that we cried We'll survive Cause when we're torn apart Shattered and scarred Love has the grace to save us We're just two tarnished hearts When in each other's arms We become saints and angels. **I love your imperfections I love your everything Your broken heart, your broken wings I love you when you hold me And when you turn away I love you still and I'm not afraid Cause I know you feel the same way And you'll stay** Cause when we're torn apart Shattered and scarred Love has the grace to save us We're just two tarnished hearts When in each other's arms We become saints and angels. These feet of clay (these feet of clay) They will not stray Cause when we're torn apart Shattered and scarred Love has the grace to save us We're just two tarnished hearts When in each other's arms We become saints and angels. Saints and angels ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~  ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~Happy Easter to all my cherished friends in Poetry Land~ Some things cannot be explained by verses that rhyme, They are not measured by the commitment of time. Some emotions run too deep to be described by words, Forgiveness and understanding ... remain the most beautiful words ever heard. Janet Marie Every moment of every day youre still with me in every way Every poem and song...every rhyme and verse youre still here...like a beautiful curse [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 04-13-2001).] |

Thank you JM, for these beautiful ones. And Happy Easter to you as well. A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

It would be hard to choose which words were most touching... your superb poetry or the accompanying greetings. *S* All of them are inspired by love and penned from a heart of pure gold. *S* Resurrection offers the perfect opportunity for reflection on this Good Friday... It's beautiful. And Bridge of Love is so poignant... but holds such promise. Some loves transcend death... those are the ones we live for. Wonderful writing, sweet lady... may your Easter be blessed and bright with the joy you give us. *S* |

Jan you know that ~Resurrection~ is one of my favourites. It is great to be able to read it again. You already know my thoughts on the poem so I will simply say beautiful. I am also equally impressed by the other poem. WHen your muse shines it shines with excellence. There's a feeling of contentment Now that you are here I feel satisfied I belong |

Oh, JanetMarie~ Sometimes an earth angel touches us so brightly ... that they leave an eternal glow within our hearts .... *Hugs* to you for sharing yours. 'look towards the heavens ... witness the circling light.' Yes ... it will always circle back to rest in the heart of one who loves~ Love you for the beauty that is you. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
