Élan Uncovered I am as bare as the beige page before me so I come unto you, entreating you Write on me, or in me, or for me As I cannot bear to be this exposed that I do not rummage around to find some sort of word That in its swathe, would explain me Might a day go by that you feel you should know me, in all simplicity I come before you Always within your reach Yet, I read you, I feel you, and by sheer delight, you uncover Élan, discovering me as if for a first time Like a new book, you feel between the pages Imagine what the book must feel with your hands stroking the silk utterance contained therein Unconditional, discriminating acceptance and perhaps, a bit of Love |

Elan, I would say you covered it very well  Imagine what the book must feel with your hands stroking the silk utterance contained therein Unconditional, discriminating acceptance and perhaps, a bit of Love Those lines in particular struck me. I HAVE experienced those feelings with a book. To refer them to a person or a soul or one's mind is exceptional...and excellent writing. I look forward to more of your thoughts on paper... |

Janet Marie, I hope to be able to entertain, enlighten, and perhaps educate, from time to time, with my writing...and I hope to please your every read...thank you! Magnus, I cannot imagine either, but I hope we will both be pleased if and when "it" hits again... Titia, thank you so much for your wonderful welcome... Martie, I will always hope for more...there is so Much to write about! SmittenKitten, I hope I can keep your interest for a long time to come...thank you for your lovely welcome... Balladeer - I have heard you are one with a discerning eye...seems to me they are not wrong...I hope I can continue to entertain your thoughts for a long time to come... Cas, thank you so very much for taking time to read! Thank you JamesMichael... DarkStranger, do you always leave snippets of new poems behind in your responses? You may want to watch for a poetic reply...thank you for the gift! Bridget, thank you for your comments, it seems to me you have a bit of storyteller within yourself, as well! Madame Chipmunk, here's hoping to many more! Thank you!... Marge, I thank you.... |

Peel moment from sunrise edging cautious discern reels within the many forks each road doth ever turn and offer up dreams hazing mist to solid in soliloquy to words flow unend see light meeting Midlands earth burning winds blazing crags flame upon the mantle heart in fireplace within without becomes as one fire and light as glimpse arrives see to through Eternitys Horizon Waiting light in truth becoming Dream transmogrified Awaiting Always [This message has been edited by EternitysHorizon (05-11-2002 04:23 AM).] |

Aha! A first poster! It's likely she doesn't know anything about me, so I will be the person she trusts the most. Now. How can I steeer her away from those scalawags 'Deer and Toe?.... Welcome to Passions, Elan. I am the Guardian at the Gate, and it is my job to make sure you are happy here. Just a few words of advice. There's two rascals in here who will write pretty things and make you feel all mushy inside. Don't trust them for even a single minute!!!! Trust only me!!! Other than that, have a good time. Heh... ol' Long John, you've outwitted those two foxes this time! |
