In Your Poetic Mind

0 posted 2002-08-12 12:29 PM


For Richard, My Brother   Time is now our Friend

River of time

   Reflections
there was no rain,
         tears
there was no dawn,
         dusk
a reunion of survival --
    autumns,  now of
colorful leaves  

      {and I cried for you}

You fell so fast from   grace
  your innocent   smile
hiding tears of fear

Ropes   both ends pulled
clowns fell   somewhat    forgotten
in my lonely years
of missing    

      {and I dared to plead       time was haunting}

down among the ground,
I wept   my feelings deep  --

Honor,  bravery --
my brother remains,
you will show me
courage and strength
hope --
   bold as the rainbow,
   beautiful butterfly,
   raven in midnights    passing

We shall grow,
walk the beach
   surrender   to the dark--
new mountains we’ll build

I am the future
   together we will stand
begin   again  

with love

~~~~~~~~~

Thank you Sunshine, for the inspiration of your "How I know him"

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Lauren, this is majestic, I love it, this gave me the vision of a fallen angel at first scarred with innocent tears of loves loss then how the angel rises like a phoenix and embraces loves glow once more with hope! (kiss on cheek) This is breathtaking, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lauren, thank you for sharing!



May love and light alwyas shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I always love reading your works as you always leave some of the most striking free-verse there is in here and you also give us a new look at things from as aspect of one that truely cares about the people and the things around her.  In other words ... we learn and I for one appreciate that.

Lauren,
I think that your feelings
no matter how they are expressed
are always 'deep'.  You are deep
of heart and soul, this piece
shows how caring that heart
and soul is.  Well done lady..

somebody tell me, please help me....
understand.......(as sung by Trace Adkins)

the love for him and the compassion for his losses rise above your own pain and losses...
and speak volumes to the dedication and the ties that bind that no one can take away.
Beautiful write of heart Poetess L

If all the tear drops went to heaven
And if all the pain was confined ...
Would I be your salvation
could I make your spirit shine.

Love is a battle all will fight, win, and loose.  A never ending circle till the cirlce comes to an end and we no longer must fight.  Then and only then will love be true

Yes I know
he will recall
many memories to
share in place
of silence for over 30
years

I too adore your heart

Did you really mean
to make me tear up?

I am sorry I did not see this
until just today, or I would
have said then
what I am saying now...

thank you...

We shall grow,
walk the beach
   surrender   to the dark--
new mountains we’ll build

I am the future

begin   again  


I am so happy for you, Lauren...
Its wonderful that you found your siblings again...
I wonder if any of them write poetry?
