No great books have been dedicated to us no songs have been written with us in mind yet we are the essence of every thought of love that ever was or ever will be. No author could describe what we have no lyricist could find the right words to accompany the melody of love's mystery that encapsulates us and guides us. We travel the days with the all knowing wind powerful, yet as silent as the deep of night our course charted by the force that brings two people together in perfect harmony. No one could write rhetoric to do us justice for they know not of what we know have not been where we are nor are they destined to be where we will go. This deep mysterious reality that is us belongs to us alone and cannot be told by another no poet nor lyricist knows what we know. This is us and our world, our treasured destiny. Yet somehow they manage to come close with books that will outlive time melodies that will ring throughout eternity but the essence of us is not there... it is here. |

It is your book to write, of course... and so often, far too often, so many stories, good stories, never get recorded for the sake of history... even a family's history. Thoughtful words, Marcia. "The business of the poet...is to show the sorriness underlying the grandest things and the grandeur underlying the sorriest things." Thomas Hardy |

That's the thing, then, isn't it Marcia? Odes and sonnets and great literature doesn't speak to the common lovers, and well that they should. I certainly liked how you composed this one. ~ Employ teenagers while they know everything. ~ |

quote: A beautiful and special poem. No one knows where we have come from and where we will go - and know one knows our story. May I save this? It speaks to me. Alison |
