In Silent Siege ~*Marge Tindal*~ In the defamation of friend's name silence from you spoke the same When others set the pyre afire you quietly watched calumnious lick of flame Siege of tongue, for shame, for shame that they would dare traduce this name Friend of yours, one was indeed your silence served to serve no need In the stir of embers cold rake the friendship of your soul Friendships burned in silent flame bear the scars that long remain Who will be there by your name when next the slurring tongues take aim in desecration of your name ? ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

your wisdom is showing, Marge... Silence is not always golden. Sometimes the things we don't say are more destructive than the things we do..you point that out very well... I will always stand up for you, Marge  |

JanetMarie~ Thanks for your comments. One would never have to doubt your loyalty to friends. Balladeer~ And likewise, you know for sure ! *Hug* Serenity~ LOL ! There IS a life outside these walls. I just took pause to reflect on what true loyalty to friendship should mean to us all. Not a silent partner would I ever be. Going out to pick wildflowers now !  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Very much a thought to ponder. Makes one want to take inventory of actions and friends to see if any guilt lies there within. |

Joyce~ That's the truth ! Thank you for your comments. SunnyOne~ Thank you so much. You'd think that true friends wouldn't have to be reminded, huh ? Karilea~ No particular why or who~ Just thoughts from the heart of friendship. AmuseMi~ Thanks for the read and reply. When any friend is being torn asunder - TRUE friends do not feast at the carnage in silence. *Just my thoughts, friends.  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

someone once asked me if writing without the rhyme was harder, without a doubt it is much easier. I wish I could write in the fashion that you do, with the elegance that you do. Lovely piece... May your dreams always dance to the rhythm of a lover's heartbeat... |

As great as your poem is, your response "When any friend is being torn asunder TRUE friends do not feast at the carnage in silence" is even more powerful... Such beliefs make you the friend you are... which is one to treasure. *S* Well done! |

SuthernGal~ You are the bestest at finding those little gems tucked in the replies. Yes ... I've NEVER been that starved. May it always be .... I sense that there are many who do recognize and respect the loyalty of TRUE friendships. And the others don't really matter anyway. Thank you, hon. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
