A little something on a lighter note from me ~ believe it or not!  When Love Comes CallingWhen love comes calling at your heart and pauses, first, to ring Will you hasten to your threshold and allow its entering? When love comes calling at your heart how might it be received? With ease of gracious greeting or the dread of the deceived? When love comes calling at your heart what will it find inside? An open book of feelings or dark bitterness and pride? When love comes calling at your heart adorned with treasures bright Will you present your broken one despite its lack of light? When love comes calling at your heart these questions will ensue Intruding tramp or welcomed guest? The choice is up to you. |

it depends on whether or not hes a poet  very cool Claire, liked the repetative lines you ask all the right poetic questions beautiful work jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

The choices of the heart... I've made some good ones and I've made some bad ones. Sometimes ya just don't know. Not making a choice?... equals harden arteries. Enjoyed the read... nice throught process. Peace. |

This gave me much pause for thought...I know it seems simple enough, but it made me think of patterns of my own behavior...and let's just leave it at that...thank you again, claire...serenity trudges onward...lol |

Choices, yes, sometimes I wish there was no such thing........but there is and it is up to us indeed. Agree with Mark B, we can't live in regret of the one's we make.....but that is not always that easy. Beautiful peice here........ Jenn E |

Claire~ You know I'm smiling Heck, I've never bothered to close the door ... so these wonderful folks just keep wandering in and out. It gets very crowded in here at times ! Tee-Hee !

Martie, thank you. I wrote this in response to a challenge in a poetry group. I'm glad you enjoyed it, my friend. Sven, I had a feeling you were the scientific type. Thanks, dear. Liz, yes, I've spent lots of those years wishing... thanks for your sweet response. ethome, thank you for that poetic reply, and for reading my little poem. James, I thank you. Isn't it amazing how much time we spend thinking about what to do when love finds us, and then forget everything the moment it does?? Take care ~ Marge, even if you barred the door and sealed it shut, they would still find you... you're a love magnet, my dear! Thanks for reading!~ Claire< !signature--> Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau [This message has been edited by Meadowmuse (edited 08-06-2000).] |

Ah the exuberence of your poetry... in moments of decision, one forever lilts towards the favourable side be it FOR good or NOT... Claire, as much as is goes to say... loved each bit of this poem... Churn them out my friend... and let the world be your playground and let me be amongst the fervent followers reading your words.... regards, sudhir |

Sudhir, I didn't realize you'd responded to this 'til just now. So glad you enjoyed this one, and I thank you kindly for the unique and lovely way you have of letting me know. Take care, Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
