Reflections ~*Marge Tindal*~ You fell upon my day sunlight refracting through the trees Came in on whispered memory as soft as gentle breeze Played around the meadow as a butterfly in fluttered flight Sipping nectar from your memory relished with delight The babbling brook sparkles with reflections of a time when we were all that mattered in our unhurried rhyme Night fell - I caught it one moonbeam at a time You twinkled as the starlight dancing through my mind Remembering you and counting sheep Always forgetting the number Contemplating the coming dreams of you within my slumber If upon the dawn I awaken with thoughts of you in mind I know that they are merely reflections of thoughts you left behind *This piece was inspired by ETHome Thank you, my friend. quote: ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Dear Marge, have you thought about submitting this for the book, Marge? It's quite lovely. I like how it shows the strength of your bond with others, almost telepathically. Corinne |

Well I'm glad I inspire someone once in awhile. I feel quite complimented by the fact that you remembered that part of the verse from 'Running To Be Free' and turned the idea into a fine poetic work of your own. I love that first verse..... "You fell upon my day sunlight refracting through the trees Came in on whispered memory as soft as gentle breeze." That's what I call poetic reminiscence of the finest kind to start a poem about reflections... Take care and keep em comin.. |

ETHome~ I am so pleased that you found it so that it gives me an opportunity to tell you how much I appreciate the inspiration. Your poem 'Running To Be Free' was so lovely and that phrase kept coming back to play in my mind. I'm very glad you liked it. Thank you again - my pleasure to find that little gem and have the inspiration hit me. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marge~ Your reflections on this day are as glorious as the day itself was my friend. Way to go EThome for inspiring such wonderful poetry!!! LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
