A Childs past It happened a hundred years ago She took my hand in loves cargo Enveloped me in memories lace And float me through this eerie place. A one-room house, with roof of straw She’s there a child forevermore With three cots and a fire pit. With her sister and a mothers wit. And when she moved from out this stall Her shadow raced along a wall where A chignon priest with raven hair Gave candy to this sweet child fair. And my eyes went to wells of wet As she recite this childhood let I stroked the wrinkles on her hand And kissed her, said I understand Though empathy can feels in Braille Only love can touch her trail. |

Seymour darling heart and writer of the promise that is held within the breezes sigh, so often your writing touches the truth and clothes the mystery of life in words that reveal them for all to see. In this beautiful rhyme of life you have dressed the thoughts of soul in garments of glowing light. You’ve breathed your life into them and the poem lives and breathes in the readers soul. How you do what you do so well and apparently effortlessly I do not know, what I do know is if there ever came a day where your words didn’t affect me I would know I no longer lived. This is beautiful and lyrical, as always perfect do I love it of course I do it is utterly utterly utterly perfect In your writing I see a soul’s release Which floats the stream of life in peace The touch of you in such thoughtful care The knowledge that you know and share Within your writing I feel the calm Of a life touched with delights balm Washed in light of your poetic dream My soul is refreshed by the stream And I lifted through a cloud of doubt Find in your poem the way out All this is created by your write The way of truth and soul’s delight If not for your writing I would be Lost to light and uncertainty Wonderful writing darling heart absolutely wonderful Not long now, and then I'm on my way, see you soon 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 [This message has been edited by Marsha (09-14-2002 09:04 PM).] |
