Closing my eyes I can feel the breeze Letting my imagination freely run As a solemn dusk sets ‘cross the peaks In the land of the midnight sun I know he’s out there somewhere Living a life as I am mine Even though many miles lie between us Our moment is just a matter of time In him I see a life gone by between trappings of here and now Dark eyes that hold a mystery That met mine in chance somehow In truth I’ve never seen these eyes They’ve intrigued me nonetheless A tender soul lies behind His every word’s sweet caress How I long to see my reflection Within the shine of his loving gaze As he looks down upon my face Tucked under his arm for all days May I never be too busy to help another's load, Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed. --Author Unknown |

A challenge well met, Satiate. Romantic and mesmerizing. I don't think love understands the limitations of miles, nor do I think you have to view one's eyes to see their soul. This is simply beautiful. Michael |

Satiate~ Glad I was cruising from the back of the 'book' forward tonight ... pleased I didn't miss this one. This is simply magical ... 'As a solemn dusk sets ‘cross the peaks In the land of the midnight sun' Doesn't get much prettier than that ! I really do like this. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Satiate, well done! You captured the longing for that special someone. I liked how you kept the poem hopeful to the end. INclan |

Ah, yes..the soul-mate out there somewhere. I really believe in that - that we all have that perfect match somewhere. Problem is, more times than not, we never find them. But they are there, nontheless. Good writing, satiate |

Mike: Thank you for the read Michael: That's quite a compliment, my friend...thank you for the challenge phrase. Ruth: Was in a sweet mood when I wrote it, thanks. INclan: Thank you much. Quite wonderful things can spring forth from hope, sometimes. 'Deer: Whaddaya mean, never find them?? I've found you haven't I??  (lol) Thank you for the read, sir Marge: Thank you, dear! Pretty sight, indeed...I've always been taken by it. [This message has been edited by Satiate (edited 04-06-2000).] |

All the great poets in Passions have read this poem and already said nice things about it. So i want you to know, they took the words right out of my mouth. dh A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |
