To write humility within Carrying the burden of life given by two hands as two become one... Sharing the pain, frustration and fears of the toils and turmoil within... Asking only to be received, respected and given equality.. Yet, the currents of mighty rivers course the steep banks beneath the walls....roaring in a chocolate flow Mixing madly with tears of rain which fall pure as crystal. Falling onto the sands of one self. Onto the sands of all... Can one find love within this turbulence flowing, deafening, maddening? Will shouted words be heard? Trust given....echoing... Unheard by ears.. Never returned until love is given unselfishly, freely without a price...yet only requiring commitment. If only two paths, similar... could be walked till the open glade surrounds in peace. As flowers bloom and leaves twirl endlessly to the ground...love can be found...growing amongst guardian sentinels reaching silently into the blue of day and stars of night.... Knowing what is....is And what might... can be...if two are one in mind and heart together.. |

Barry Many searching questions and I think you have answered. "love is given unselfishly, freely without a price" This kind of unconditional love doesn't happen often, but I think if it does, it is foerever, even during turbulance. |

Magnus darling heart HOW glad I am to see a poem by you, and this is something that is truly utterly utterly utterly special. How well you write in both rhyme and free verse, and how much I wish I could write like this. Really magnificent writing darling boy, I’ve missed your writing so much, if, when I come back to the US I shall make sure I have internet access whenever I need it. This really is exquisite writing and of course you know I utterly utterly utterly love it darling heart it is fabulous   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Magnus, It sounds like loving to me. At least once in a lifetime, if we are blessed. But often it takes the maturity spoken of here, before it happens. I enjoyed this greatly. Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Hello Barry Your words touched my heart as they so often do and I am so glad I found this exquisite piece of your heart. I hope all is well with you. My heart has been heavy of late in the aftermath of the Bali tragedy and many of my words have been filled with sorrow. Thank you for lifting me out of the sadness through your beautiful words. Take care.......Sue I am in motion |

Knowing what is....is And what might... can be...if two are one in mind and heart together.."  (big huggsssssss) Oh Barry, the possibilities are endless and your wonderful words shine with that central truth, sweet friend, God Bless You, this is excellent, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Now I know what has been missing in my life as of lately!--You and your words--whether they be of love, humor, horror... the list goes on! "Sharing the pain, frustration and fears of the toils and turmoils within... Asking only to be received, respected and given equality..." ...that is not too much to ask of another who claims to love you So much truth in your words. Linda |
