I've lived a thousand lifetimes, Twix the covers bound and tied. I've journeyed through the ages, On wild horses I did ride. I've climbed a top Mt. Everest, And sailed the seven seas. I've watched a thousand babies born, Swung silent through the trees. I've crawled in mud with weapons armed, And stood upon the stage. I was a fairy princess once, Each lept off every page. I've fell in love and died in vain, For things that I believed. I've even been to Egypt, For a treasure to retrieve. I've lived a thousand lifetimes, Twix the covers bound and tied. If you don't believe me, Open up and step inside. Ruth: The title of your latest poem inspired this. I know this poem has nothing to do with the one you wrote but the title spoke to me. Thankyou my friend.  |

Marilyn~ Isn't inspiration wonderfully welcomed? This is quite nicely done. Your 'years' are displayed convincingly. Very pleasurable read, Marilyn. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marylin, This is absolutely beautiful. Isn't it wonderful when merely a title can inspire us? All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |

Marg...a little inspiration is more then I have had in forever. Ruth's title just caught me and the words flowed. Sharon....If I ever need an escape I either read or write. In both cases I am transported to another time and place. Reading is such a wonderful thing!  Jeffrey....Thankyou for your words.  It is wonderful when inspiration comes and Ruth has always been a source for me. Mike..you rascle you. *giggle* I knew I would receive that kind of response from you. lol. My only question is....Am I alone between those covers? lol |
