Past The Gates Of Time ~*Marge Tindal*~ Early in the morning just past the gates of time Smiles the memory of yesterday into this heart of mine Reflecting moments of splendor among the grasses green Lilac's blooming fragrance gracing the air of seem Pausing just one moment to catch the trill of wren Hurrying through the gate back to where I've been One frolic in the springtime of memories etched in stone Engraving now this moment that won't leave me alone Likened to the mighty oak on which are carved our names I stand resilient to the wind until you blow home again Returning from the sea on each new cresting wave Fathoming your love only a heartbeat away Embraced within your hug firmly now on shore Past the gates of time you're home with me once more ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Very touching. I like the way this poem expresses the ever-changing emotions and their relation to the constant, profound ones. Grant that I may not judge my niegbor until I have walked a mile in his moccasians Native American prayer |

Danny~ You may have answered your own question ... In my sleep, indeed. I have a feeling that my muse's nickname is Vivarin ! She's a slave driver for sure. Truth ... my mind writes all day and about half the night. Thank you so much for the compliment. Claire~ Thank you, my friend. I am so pleased that you enjoyed this one and saw the 'hope' in it. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

30 replies!? I just had to see what all the fuss was about. =) What can I say that hasn't already been said? I agree. "We always said it would be good to go away, someday, but if there's nothing there to make things change, if it's the same to you I'll just hang." --Matchbox20 (Hang) |
