WINDY HILLS 25 August 2011 No harm or hate will touch your tomorrows for you and I will weave what Jig saw wilting at mind tills and paint it into Time and let it drag on forever in slow motion for darkness, the other side of light, enhances light which embraces darkness, which should be savoured like a secret and favoured place of refuge.

I started to pull out certain parts to comment on, but the whole poem is the best part. The reader is almost certainly drawn in feeling the sense of protection and freedom. Opposites being complemented by each other, although different, one without the other would be impossible – light and darkness make possible each. This is a beautiful poem, and refuge. JL  |

Diana, this is a poem I would love to hear in your voice. As was said above, all stands perfect as one poem, but then there was the wilting line, and that one kept me solid.  |

Thank you, Ida. So am I! But I am glad I do, because it brings me much joy, though many tears, but I can handle the tears most of the time because they are a form of release. Smiles! Thank you for your very kind words, Paul. Smiles. Thank you Sunshine. I don’t have the technological equipment to record the poem, but I am honoured that you would have liked to hear it in my voice. Smiles. Thank you, Margherita, for imbibing my poem so perfectly and finding it good to savour. Smiles. Owl |

"will weave what Jig saw wilting at mind tills and paint it into Time and let it drag on forever in slow motion for darkness, the other side of light, enhances light" Such beautiful lines, such positivity. fine writing. "The secret behind survival of mankind is kindness and love within our hearts" |

This needs be sent back to the top. "the other side of light, enhances light which embraces darkness, which should be savoured like a secret and favoured place of refuge." a poem within a poem. This could stand alone. Like Frost "I have been one acquainted with the night." It is a "favoured place of refuge." Come read to me some poem, |

Dear Owl-This is awesome. It's all great but it was the ending that stuck a chord in me...your delivery was powerful and as always your words have reached out and moved me...excellent poem, Owl. Love-Faith There must be a poem in here somewhere. [This message has been edited by faithmairee (09-04-2011 11:54 AM).] |

Ford, thank you for sending this to the top again. I am very honoured to be compared to Robert Frost (again), one of my favourite poets - and to see a favourite stanza from Longfellow’s “The Day Is Done” both in one response. Thank you Faith, for your warm response. Owl |
