Before me falls this crimson sunset to the earth Reached back in tantalizing pink and amber cling Into the fainting midnight blue as night gives birth To settle on of amethyst in jewels of scenic ring And lightly touched my feet to native soil In arching neck positioned in the taste of beams As lifted from the sound of plain and knoll once royal Force fed in rapture of the falls or so it seems For now contentment of the simple coming to an end In sweep of clearer paths and kindly stepped For sail my heart points North by send And ear to ear a whispered cheer be kept Copyright Kkh 1/8/03 |

For now contentment of the simple coming to an end In sweep of clearer paths and kindly stepped Loved those lines most of all! |

Kathleen, you do have a way with words, Lady. You write with such elegance and beauty. You really do paint your poetry with beautiful colors. "Love makes the world go around" |

 (big hugggssssssss) Every sunset so gorgeous like that always deeply touches my heart, even when it saddens me like this past week missing my Joanna as if her love for me is in hemorrhage and the blood is staining down the mountainside into the darkness! (sad sigh) Sorry, I've just been so overemotional lately, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Before me falls this crimson sunset to the earth Reached back in tantalizing pink and amber cling Into the fainting midnight blue as night gives birth To settle on of amethyst in jewels of scenic ring TD this is simply lovely! I enjoyed this one very much...*s* |

You have a way of drawing the reader in to your work and making them feel like they're a part of the scene. Simply excellent!  The stars will shine when I am gone, |
