Quietly Heard the coming home part of my day is strictly personal the moment I bare the raiment of my outer soul and divest the coverings of strict to don the comfort of soft and gather yielding material to warm the skin and in so doing a mental seeking to comfort the inner me as well only then, after enough nutrient to feed the body, I take favored pen and stroke the feel ~balanced~ ~smooth and sleek~ it fits my hand so well and allows me to feel ~ ~ graceful ~ ~ the first time of the day that I feel like a scholarly lady of course I do not think as fast with pen as I do with keys clicking but ponder more ~ it is most rewarding because thoughts of how others would pen the next line comes to me and I visit with them momentarily here in the softness of my robed moment and visit mentally serving tea or wine, I might use crystal or plastic but no one will mind, and amid much laughter of good times yet to be shared I may even laugh out loud for a brief moment alone at this picture in my mind for there are many of you in my room just now the soft chattering of all your poetic voices cause me to relax, become the quiet soul that I really am because listening is an art and one that I might be perfect in and have perfected in as I am still the shy duck I've always been so in the comfort of my robe here in thought of all of you whom have comforted my inner me I come and write Thank You yet again, for giving me a place to place my silent voice so that I may always, quietly, be heard A brief thanks, again, first for allowing this repost. I will soon be coming up on four years here, and in that time, a thanks, for all that Passions has given to me during that time... Especially in the last three years, first by giving me the opportunity to assist as a Senior Moderator, a function that has been vastly enlightening; and then as an Administrator. For having provided in kind, a form of payment in new and lasting friends, and what more could one ask? To Ron, my humblest appreciation, for working so very hard to make Passions a Home for Poets, and Readers of Poets...no thank you is ever enough. So please accept my continued attempts at poetry by which to pluck those heartstrings you allow everyone to share. Karilea |

...alone... Isn't that the way many poets feel? Emily Dickinson was a shy person who spent her time alone. I know that I have felt alone many times... Because we as poets want to reach out and touch a heart, but we either don't know how to do it, or are to shy to reach out, or we are just too "alone" to do it! But I will continue to reach out - Shy as I am - and I am thankful for this place to share my poetry with other poets. May blessings fall upon each person here. ~El Campeador “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |

at this picture in my mind for there are many of you in my room just now Yes, oh, yes, I have felt this too! Maybe we poets have some kind of "connection" to one another. This is lovely Karilea. Your poetry brings such welcomed warmth. hugs, Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

for there are many of you in my room just now the soft chattering of all your poetic voices cause me to relax, become the quiet soul that I really am because listening is an art ========================= yes.....exactly. Perfect time for this one to shine again Poetess Sun. Please allow me to thank you for your quiet grace and also to thank Ron for his unending efforts to make these pages a home built on respect. His patience is honorable and inspiring. peace to poetry land. I refuse to accept that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism & war that the daybreak of peace can never be reality. |

Karilea, that was beautiful! It brought such a calm and peaceful feeling, reading about you coming home and getting into your comfort zone. I feel on one hand, that I have missed so much not being here from the start. But, I’m just glad I was lucky enough to find it recently. One, because like you so nicely put, it is a place where your “songs of your heart” can be heard. But, even more so, which I think you also put real well. Is the general feel of this place. So many wonderful people, all helping to inspire, and appreciate, something we all enjoy doing. Thanks Karilea, for all the light and warmth you have provided for so many... Your name, Sunshine, truly becomes you... Sincerely, Richy |

Sunshine, tears literally misted in my eyes as I read your graceful writing....there I now saved it in case I forgot to!... Reading your poetry has always filled me with a sense of awe. I truly felt I was with you as you were writing this poem which has so much meaning for me--and most assuredly for every other reader as well. P.S. You need not ever appologize for reposting a poem. It gives those of us who haven't had the opportunity of reading it, a chance to do so--and for those who may have previously read it, it allows for a doubling of their pleasure! Morning hugs, Linda |

And I see you there, Karilea...in elegance and splendor with parchment on which your pen lay ink of revelations and quiet pasts which escape most poets' minds, but you are there and then here to willingly share your heart with us so that we may be inspired by your thoughts. A great debt I owe to you. From the first time I posted my verse, you welcomed me into your circle of friends. Had you not, I may still be seeking peace and refuge from the world. Now I know where my peace lies; it lies within me. With pen in hand, I find the comfort my world does not seem to offer. Thank you, elegant friend, -Patricia |

'because thoughts of how others would pen the next line comes to me and I visit with them momentarily here in the softness of my robed moment and visit mentally serving tea or wine, I might use crystal or plastic but no one will mind, and amid much laughter of good times yet to be shared' Cream and sugar, please! Kari, you are a sweetheart. Is is storytime then???  |

Karilea, =========== I might use crystal or plastic but no one will mind, and amid much laughter of good times yet to be shared I may even laugh out loud for a brief moment =========== Well, if thank you's are in order than I owe you a BIG one! THANK YOU. For all you've done, for all you've been and for all you write. You have helped make this past year of my life bearable and I will be forever grateful. &  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
