One Simple Breeze A breeze passes the tips of outstretched fingers Swirling in the midst of life's invisible wand Offering soft comfort as it mindlessly lingers Capturing this embrace of our peaceful bond Gentle is the pull from heaven's quiet retreat As it settles between a tripod of hopeful gains Caressing fears that so often come to deplete The solitude found amongst the gentlest rains Soothing is this passage of horizon to thought Silent is the serenity flooding the veins of fears Whispers of gratitude are found as it is caught Resting graciously within understanding tears Moments forgotten in the shadows of yesterday Dance freely on the floor of this conscious glow Encasing the power of our love in childish play Relinquishing the holds we have come to know Rest now my love ... and allow this peace to dwell Mark Christopher I have found in you ... a reflection of me ... and a path to the peace I have sought.

Mark, there is nothing simple about this. It is beautiful. I will have to check out more of your work, but at the moment there is a storm on the way, I can feel a breeze too. I think I will have to go and enjoy that first. Andrea Summon the courage to step out of your familiar rut and suddenly many of those things which held you back will no longer have the power to do so.

A breeze passes the tips of outstretched fingers Swirling in the midst of life's invisible wand ========================================== Gentle is the pull from heaven's quiet retreat As it settles between a tripod of hopeful gains Caressing fears that so often come to deplete The solitude found amongst the gentlest rains Soothing is this passage of horizon to thought Silent is the serenity flooding the veins of fears Whispers of gratitude are found as it is caught Resting graciously within understanding tears Moments forgotten in the shadows of yesterday Dance freely on the floor of this conscious glow ======================================= Whispering winds share the secrets they hold, to be heard only by those who will listen into the fold. Quiet comfort found in an Autumn's breeze ... winds of change caress in healing appease. ~~~~~~~ (momentary inspire) Well all my mothy begging pays off when I finally get to read your heartfelt rhymes. I love the soft whispered undercurrent of contentment and comittment in this one MC. A tender write of promises kept and anticipation found. Written with your poetic gifts of cadence, imagery and romantic intend. Im thinking most any wind you ride on is one that will carry a heart home... whether youre catching the breeze...or sending it   me  this one was titled...Butterfly on an autumn breeze he said ... "dont cry" ... said "it only hurts forever ... and all we have is time." ~Tabitha's Secret~ [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 11-27-2001).] |

JM-Hey, what do you mean by the begging ... you need only ask and I will try to oblige!!! Don't ya know that by now? Thanks my dearest friend for all that you do to keep my mind occupied. You have become sort of a hobby to me ya know. Mind you, not the hobby I would have seen myself doing 2 years ago, but what the heck ... times change and so do the needs (of non-Aquarians) of others. LOL Thank you much for your kind words and always pointing the poetic aspects of my poems so that I may grow in my writing. Huge hugs!!!!Coco-And I just love the feeling I get when I see your name on one of my posts. Thank you much my dear friend for all you give and do for so many of us here. Marina-I don't know about the class but I will sure as heck take the beauty!!! Oh, is that you??? Well, I guess I better just smile and say thank you much and remind you that I do appreciate your kindness. Annie-Well of course I didn't!!! I may be getting older but the mind works quite well still. I too have missed being here. Thanks for the double visit. Marge- Osiyo!!!!!!!!! Well now my dear friend of nature and fire ... how could it not be a sweet visit when your shadow is ever present? Thank you bunches and many many hugs. ge gv yuhi |

Moments forgotten in the shadows of yesterday Dance freely on the floor of this conscious glow Encasing the power of our love in childish play Relinquishing the holds we have come to know Rest now my love ... and allow this peace to dwell Mark, no one writes them like you do. If there is indeed such a thing as poetry in motion, this is it. Loved it. On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. |

JM-I would oblige your request in an instant if not for the holiday season. I wouldn't want to spoil a good surprise ya know. Who knows, maybe you will get one in your stocking instead of a lump of coal. SEA-Now, I happen to know that you wouldn't really want it for you anyway but I do thank you for the visit much. Gentle Spirit-You do indeed always leave me with a big ego and I thank you dearly for that. Kris-Well hey there baby!!!! Ya know ... ya look as good in blue as you do in "Cardinal" red but hey, we will wait till Spring for that one again. I am glad you enjoyed it sweetie and you know of course that I will always strive to give that helpful tip whenever I can even if it does mean passing up a perfectly good breeze just so you could latch on to it. After all, love is love and even this ole cowboy can find the understanding in making sure his lady has only the best. Much love to ya sweetie and don't worry ... SOON is around the corner but never SOON enough. I love you!!! and oh yeah .....!!!! Thank you for claiming YOUR poem sweets. Just wouldn't be fair to leave it hangin' in the auction now would it? Regina-If you found only a moments tranquility in my words then I am honored. I do thank you for your kind words and visit. It means much.

Mark, well hi there, I haven't been into my haven for ages. Truth to tell I only come here when I'm dragged back, however I'm so glad I got the chance to pop in today. Wonderful to read your fabulous poem, it flows utterly beautifully. If I was guaranteed to see such beautious enscription then I'm sure I would come more often. Absolutey dazzling display of your art, well done, truly magnificent as always Marsha To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Karilea-Thank you very much. Deb-If you found it delightful then I too am delighted. Thank you much my friend. Melissa-Thank you so much and to add it to your library is an honor for me. Charisma-I am elated to see you here and you don't ever have to say oops to me....I couldn't complain either way now could I? Thank you dearly sweet one. SEA-Now I knew that. You know that you don't have to explain to me. You and I solved that along time ago just in the trust and respect columns of fun didn't we? Thanks for the return visit though. Marsha-There is always a beauty of a poem to be found in Passions 24/7 so never worry about a wasted trip here cause there won't be any. Thank you much for your kind words. |
