~Little Miracles~ Sitting in a sunbeam on the cool kitchen floor, watching the sunset thru the open back door. Soft breezes come in thru the tattered screen, God's artistry paints the sky in a violet washed scene. The stereo jams ... my body takes in the deep base, the sunlight warms and tans my tear streaked face. Within this fragile moment ... I discover the place, you exist in me. The gift of this miracle ... for once, I am content to simply ... just be. If I hold my breath ... can I make time mercifully stand still ... Should I never move ... can I stop the arrival of until... Janet Marie *for my partner in rhyme thank you for the inspiration, always. The stars shine so bright, now's the time I close my eyes - soft wind touch my face, Cool sand upon the place where I once kissed you And held you close. Now I will reach for the stars... Because Oh my love, that's where you are... Though the storms of black night rage on I still see your face I still feel your lips on mine And though my heart feels all alone without you I still hear you sing to me I still hear your voice on the sea... vertical horizon |

-Janet This was so beautiful and peaceful! It brought a tear to my eye. I think we rush around in life so much that sometimes we lose sight of the "little miracles". Thanks so much for the reminder. As always I stand in awe of you and your wonderul work. Love ya, AMY  ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

Hmmm... I read your peom this morning on another message board and I liked it a lot... but I'm just now making the connection that for the first time in a year or so I'm sitting in the house with all the windows open letting a cool breeze blow through. Hmm... subconcious mind must have liked it too... anyways. Cool poem.< !signature--> "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) [This message has been edited by WhiteNite (edited 04-09-2000).] |

Oh, this is so poignant! I wasn't surprised to find a few tears trailing down my face as I read. The anticipation is wonderful isn't it? Treasure these moments always! It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |
