I stumbled on this place one day where the sun never sets, nor, does it ever rise unless you want it too, I guess It’s open 24 hours, but then, time really doesn’t exist there, only memories, waiting, for their chance, to be born. It’s a place in a meadow, where you can, drink in the sky, and swim on the backs of hills of whiskey, as people sip lattes, and cappuccinos, in their mind, foraging through the broken shards, of lessons learned and, almost, forgotten promises It’s half way between where you are right now and, where you sometimes want to be It’s where only, the fingers do the talking, and, where tender embraces, hold you close after journeys end through space It’s the haven that loneliness never did find It’s the place where you go to, right after the grind It’s the tavern of secrets That everyone, keeps It’s the hostel of humor where, no body sleeps It’s the place where the people who care for you weep It’s the people youlove, that you seldom, will meet It’s where souls come to gather from all corners of who knows where, and then sometimes leave, to, who knows why. Through the big gaping hole, in the ripped heart of departure in the sky It’s where so much sharing is common, and yet Certain things really are, just better off, kept It’s where, you are lifted each time that you fall It’s where the beginners are taught how to, crawl It’s the last of the stand, it’s the door that didn’t knock It’s the wish that came true It’s the dream, all alone It’s where tears, never dry, and laughter is a song And where smiles, dear, smiles fall like miracles yes they do. It’s the place of my heroes It’s the place of my friends It’s the place of my spirit It’s the blood, of my, Worth It’s the Passions in Poetry on the corner of Poet and Friends and, it’s on our very own planet we like to call, Virtual Earth Freedom of expression is our, write. |

Yo Richy, I like this loads. It moves along very well. For some reason, I wanted to make that “off” in the line: “are, just better of,” but hey, what do I know? Bobby |

Oh! And you are a wonderful presence here, dear Richy. It's quite captivating and put together in a unique way, that makes me want to read it again ... You really have caught all the nuances of this very special place. Virtual, but reflecting true life so very intensely. Great job! Love, Margherita  |
