Somewhere A Place

Somewhere there’s a place in time I know
Where love is pleased to live and grow
No words whispered in despite or fear
Can harm or stain the love shown here
Within the heart of love there is no wrong
There in that place love sings its song
Some when between time and space
Somewhere there is a very special place

Some when’s a time where hearts sing on
Where love and trust will n’er be gone
No question does love live there still
It shines so bright and it always will
Inside that place where love gives hope
And hands reach out to offer help to cope
Some when between the here and now
It waits for me some time somehow

Somewhere in a separate space than here
Where love stands true without shamed fear
Where hope and joy sing out their song
And hearts live free and love lasts long
There within that place my heart is free
It calls to you to share its liberty
Somewhere a place where love shines true
Some when I wait, I wait for you

Marsha

Marsha, darling girl,

Once again, you show how magnificent a poet you are! I love your poem, "Somewhere, A Place"
I cannot praise you enough

And again, Marsha, your brilliance inspires me to write again, and again:

For you, darling:

A Palace of Love's Reality

You are hereby cordially invited
To dinner in a new home in the sky
Pure love and truthfulness are knighted
And the feast lasts forever, bye and bye.

There is singing in the glow of Love's light
All truth is known; there's only simple trust
And ev'ry soul is free to love in sight
There is no shame, free choice replaces must.

Hope and joy are everywhere you see
All hands reach out in loving peace and joy
And everyone is singing in one key
As all rejoice; just ev'ry girl and boy.

So take my hand and follow God with me
He calls out, come into Love's dinner, soon
And we are invited especially
So come and dine forever; there's still room,  

In the Palace of Love's Reality.

sis,


excellent!!! this was exquisite writing
from the heart...so beautiful. i especially
enjoyed the following verse

"Some when’s a time where hearts sing on
Where love and trust will n’er be gone
No question does love live there still
It shines so bright and it always will
Inside that place where love gives hope
And hands reach out to offer help to cope
Some when between the here and now
It waits for me some time somehow"

just beautiful writing...that huge
loving heart of yours is showing
brilliantly sis of my heart. i love
you!

take care.

Marsha, There are no words so I will misquote someone else to show what this evoked in me.

Your somewhen is now
your somewhere is here
the someway to be happy
is to make others so dear.

And you have made me very happy with your write. *HuGS*
I wub you

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Beautifully written Marsha!  You've described a place and time that I'm sure many of us diligently seek. A wonderful piece, and excellent phrasing throughout.

Best wishes,

*sigh* I wish I could find this place that is somewhere too...maybe it is in our hearts and when we find love we find it...**big hugs**....I love this, Marsha....you have echoed my thoughts and feelings in this beautiful poem...

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

These are some mighty beautiful words Marsha.

There in that place love sings its song"
