As We Shed The Night ~*Marge Tindal*~ From the shadows of dream you smile with delight leaving me alone as morning sheds the comfort of night Yet you cling to the very fabric of me stirring the day with sweet memory ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marge, you managed to say so much in so few words. Beautiful work, my friend. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

Marge, magical and beautiful. wonderful verse. ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. manic street preachers "Culture Alienation Borebom and Despair" "I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing" -faster MSP "And you see, I kind of shiver to conformity Did you see, the way I cower to authority, you see And my life, it's a series of compromises anyway It's a sham, and I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see" six by Paul Draper. ----- |

Ah, Marge. You make me wish I could sleep at night like the rest of the world. To wrap up in your favorite blanket and drift effortlessly off to sleep. Oh, what a wonderful feeling that must be. Thanks for a lovely read.  "That man has shown himself great who has never grieved in evil days and never bewailed his destiny." --Seneca |

Kit~ Yeah, I think I kinda knew you'd like this one. Thank you. LoveBug~ Thank you, hon. Serenity~ Thank you, sweet child. I am 'daytime' challenged with intense nocturnal tendencies. Karilea~ Oh, what a nifty thought. Thank you, my friend. Corinne~ Thanks, my friend. Sudhir~ Sometimes brevity says it all. But, not always ... I don't know that it's 'learned' ... just happens. Lil' Lizzie~ I hope it 'inspires' you to pen another beauty. Brian~ Pleased to know you enjoyed. Elizabeth~ They are ... and I thank you. TennesseeAngel~ To awaken from the dream ... and carry the thoughts through the day .... is such a treasure. LoneWolf~ Thank you ... I like to begin the day with a lovely thought ... it refreshes my mind. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
