Conscious of Benefit Received I walked through rooms my thoughts slumping then must back go for the thing warm hand forgotten a tireless trek gives this takes that a trail of leaves from the front door the carpets crease is my foots floor Come see come saw the wild wind echo out the drip down day is cold from window and I am half unglued in needs repair could jump on the lively pile from the hamper there But wait I recall the blessing of some odd flight that called my name from sleep half through the night and woke me to turn with fear to comfort give to feel the breathing warm within this place I live The light has flayed the thief that stole my sleep with turn on of the sky now gray and filling with a storm that’s busting to make river from steep hilling I’m glad I have a night time friend and heater’s blast of warmth and also that I have the care to take of someone that I love |

Simply lovely, Martie. "I’m glad I have a night time friend and heater’s blast of warmth and also that I have the care to take of someone that I love" I think a lot of us miss taking care of someone that we love in a world where people seem to like being alone and unhindered by ... emotion. |

In member'd walk of your traverse I seal the sounds of love, rehearsed, feal'd love gone round some bend this heart would give back all amend comfort's fold would this my arm shield you, and him, from all that'd harm yet know I and you, 'tis not our fate to weighlay that by which we're spate... but prayer is as prayer does prayer knows the all that was... prayer keeps some beholden... prayers keep all as golden... I hang my head, for I've had yours... I gave you mine in all, assured... I cannot keep from what will be... but know you have the heart of me.... with all of mine, sissie, I give to you... love, Karilea |

I generally like the sadder, darker ones... but I love loving a grateful one. Reminds me that there is still beauty in love, and that some poets, better than I, can still write of it in amazing ways.  'Always, Alyssa He was a man of sorrows |

Thief....that word brought me back to church. This morning, the minister said "If someone steals something from you, give it to them as a gift. If you do, then no one can ever rob you." I think that would be a good way to live. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Your words sometimes have a way of leaving me lacking for some of my own... So, I'll just say that I was here...and read |

Oh I love what Ed said to you Martie, as that is it! Sometimes after reading you I simply sit here and think, "Now what on earth can I possibly say to that?" My creative mind always comes up with the same thing every time, "Damn she's good!"  |

An awakening midst a sleepwalk. Automatic and mundane actions made less tedious by an awareness of priorities and inhalation of an always fresh dose of love. Enjoyed |
