October’s chill is here once more the same as every year the days become shorter and the nights become longer the snow begins to fly against shifting shades of gray as I button up my overcoat to become part of those shifts I see the children in the park running and jumping in the leaves wishing that I could be one of them again the day moves along, people come and go faces all the same names never registered they say the same thing words never heard the grayness becomes brighter (if that were possible) the night comes again much quicker as I said and when I walk home the moon now begins to greet my way, smiling in sadness October’s chill is here once more the same as every year and, as I button up my overcoat I wonder if I will ever be warm again -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 10-26-2001).] |

Sven, Oh I like this one...  "I see the children in the park running and jumping in the leaves wishing that I could be one of them again" That is my favorite part. There are sooo many times I wish I could be a kid again. *sighs* Good write.  Hugs, Tara Don't marry for money... You can borrow it cheaper!

Sven....brrrrr!! This one got me shivering. Very nice. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Yes, it is dark and cold today and that wind! Enough to blow the pumpkins down the street! Come sit by my fire and warm yourself a bit...hot chocolate with or without marshmallows? ~Warm hugs, Nancy~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Sven, I know these feelings ever so well too, and my heart goes out toy ou. (sigh) You may not be a boy now, but that child always lives deep inside of us, and as long as we follow our hearts and hold on to our innocence, we will always feel the joy like a child does, and to see beauty in all the wonderful things of the world. (big hugggsssssss) We all love you so much, sweet John, and all our hearts are always with you! (sigh) This is a sad but beautiful poem, dearest friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Sven my dear, there is something I've learned, you are NEVER too old to play in the leaves or the snow! Though it helps socially if you have a child with you!! LOL And you'll be warm again when the spring sun caresses the world yet again..... Isis |
