Up there in the night sky where stars and spirits play the eyes of one afraid look down to earth dismayed for once a happy scene twists now with human greed in a restless spiral towards the end of peace. Incredulous the clouds that thick yet open paths and pull from the shadows the good intent of heart forming so a shuttle for the exchange of fate and granting karma points for love instead of hate. Like daffodils in spring one by one popping up, like the rose of winter, a yellow buttercup, and no one can foretell the time of such event or plan a dinner feast for what is heaven sent. The come and go of love is like that up above, it flies most everywhere like a fine feathered dove but no guided missile it veers off to the side for time frames of the sky are not the same as mine. Up there the eyes of love cry tears for mother earth down here I cry for love until its grand rebirth but all the tears that flow moisten whatever grows and direct the future from only what we know. I see the shape of love fly past my open heart like shadows disappear in daylight from the dark but it’s in the knowing that I bow down to pray for missiles to fly straight to their intended prey! Helen / 11 July 2005 And off she goes a-humming, da-da, da-dee, da-dum, a wanderer forever underneath the sun … until whenever/if she remembers love! Pipsters - you're a great bunch! Thanks to all who have read me but it's time to veer off to the side and plan new strategies, new outlooks, new conclusions - none of which, I guess, are likely to be right. Such is life! |

Thank you all so much. Just a lot of "stuff" going on at the moment and, Martie, somehow you know it's to do with keeping the spirit alive. I will survive, I will remember love, and I will be back again! Oh, and it's great knowing that the blue pages will be here when that time comes. |

Maureen and Lee - thanks so much. Oh, the "wisdom" if that be what it is taps and taps continuously (can't sleep because of it) but it needs now to be wisely directed ... and I've no idea where that can be so I grit my teeth and remain in the shadows. Whew! And doesn't that sound dramatic? Just cutting the line from brain/heart/soul to fingers for a while - in order to survive. |

It's easier if you pull away a little at a time...spending less time on here..but allowing some just for the enjoyment and friendships...not letting it consume hugs again Helen You are a very fine poet M |
