Bring to me my cherished love that tasted moment once again. A time before the brazen robin flew against the chilling Autumn winds. When paupers walked the muddy way and cattle lay before the moon. When waters climbed rock strewn falls and maidens whispered soon dear...soon When laughter plunged to the end where children found a brief respite. And branches swayed and slowly bent while wolves drove onward to the fight.. And when the candle does then die before the wick does sadly fall a robin will steadily fly as far away the loons now call. |

Magnus~ How absolutely poignant your thoughts soothe the page~ Always, always, you reach out to touch~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Thank you for "bring(ing) to me my cherished" loons! Your poetry is always top notch, but your loon poems are even "topperest" notch! Loved this. Who wouldn't/couldn't? - Owl |

You hint at days gone by and days to come in your own sentimental way, and all seems so right in the world when I read you. Thank you for this, it's really nice! |

This feels sad, to me it makes me think of my lost love. It has a soothing sound though. Beautiful images. |

I enjoyed the portrait you painted of a place that's gone or never was but should have been. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

When waters climbed rock strewn falls and maidens whispered soon dear...soon I agree with Earth Angel... to read your words is to become immersed in them... and such a delightful dip it is! *S* Wonderful write! |

Magnus darling man this was spectacular. YOU are always an expert with words and this is truly beautiful. Loved it utterly. I don't get the chance to get in here anywhere near as often as I want to. I am supposed to be writing three different essays, a presentation for the Union and an accessibility report; instead I am sipping the delicate wine of your words. Actually I believe it is better for me than Ted Hughes, but then I’m not a fan of Ted Hughes and I am definitely a fan of yours. Love and warm mushy stuff As always Mushy Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

To see so many thoughtful remarks...brings me to tears of mixed emotions... You all are always in my heart even as times tug at me and make the simple act of writing a chore. I love you guys, you are great... you truly are!! ALL OF YOU |
