"Continuity of Man"

bury me not among the stone groves
enlightened memory of those crooked streams
Altered thus, by the passage of time
Hollow it is, that box of souls.
Bring unto Earth, the scattered ash
of fond lifetimes.
and dazzling tomorrow's
that mortal eyes cannot easily see.
Seek ye an infinite peace in the
inextinguishable sun spirit
remain awash in glorious past
Bathe in the glow of Now
Be cleansed by hopeful tides ofTo Be's
Ah,
a river changes course once more


(C) 2002 Picasso Lyrics

Jeff my dear friend there is always in your words something special, a message that a soul needs, a touch of wisdom or a guiding light. In this you’ve combined all of those. The message to enjoy each day, the thought of making sure you wring the essence from each second and the light that guides you to the way is awesome. Do you have any idea how special and brilliant your writing is? Mum is never wrong she said that if I read your work I would learn and I have I’ve learnt so much. I know I’ll never be the calibre or writer you are but I can read and wish certainly.  

Excellent writing I love this

Love and warm stuff
As always
Krissy

And while thy willing soul transpiers
at every pore with instant fires

(smiles) Yes, the river always changes course and I believe with all my heart there is still hope to alter the destruction most men cause, we just all need to face Him or what we believe in somehow and look back on our past mistakes and harmonize to one another if we will have any chance in keeping love alive! (big hugggssssss) This is powerful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jeff, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Hey KrissyGal!  How's that summer break goin'?  Notice, how i am avoiding
mentioning the severe blush to my toesies from your splendidly kind words?
In answer to writing:  i have but one answer to that.  When i was younger, i
read all the classics, one at a time, fascinated by the styles of the authors,
the imaginative phrasing, the syncopation of lyrical thought.  It is now just
second nature to think like that, i suppose.  Old school, perhaps, but with
a Mod twist at times!  That would be my recommendation for you, Sweet Krissy.
Read the best literature you can lay your angel hands on, and it will rub off
on your writing.  BTW....that was some poem by Emma, huh?  *wink*

Find peace in all you do
and truth will seek you as a friend.

Noah, exactly to the point, your strutured mind is!
Wonderful analysis, Buddy!
We have so many good qualities that overshadowed
by need and greed, when they should be overwhelmed
by love and peace.

Be well, Amigo!  and thank you!

I love the way you cache these phrases and truths, Jeff...
Now is this you...or Picasso?
Either way...thanks for sharing it.

Jeff darling heart this is simply exquisite, I love it when your words flow with the power and the depth that only you can put into them. Mmmmm this is plain amazing writing simply awesome.

Your ability to write of the tragedy of mans unwillingness to cease and live each day is so wonderful. The way you gently stroke the message into the soul of the reader truly is a gift and I thank you for the gift you have given me. I love this utterly utterly utterly. Exquisite writing

You are one of the best there is, and this is so incredibly good. I look for your writing not just because it is good writing but it is always full of meaning, always relevant. Thank you my sweet friend for penning such a wonderful poem I love it utterly utterly utterly.

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire
