Passions' Sands of EvermoreSo many stand upon this sea awash in waves of reverie Our hands agrasp in kindred hold with nightly cries to Heaven's fold For inspiration's kiss, divine, to move the pen another time Enticing verses' vines to grow, encircling poets' ink to flow With words of wise and golden grace and spray of life upon our face We write in night to ocean's roll of love and loss and torrents' toll Of laughter, glee, and grief recalled of moments passed and sorrows stalled We share and soak in evening's tide no need to feign or tears to hide So send your voice into the sky in midnight sea of lullaby and join with souls upon the shore in Passion's sands of evermore  Claire[This message has been edited by Meadowmuse (edited 06-26-2000).] |

truely beautiful Claire Of laughter, glee, and grief recalled of moments passed and sorrows stalled We share and soak in evening's tide no need to feign or tears to hide So send your voice into the sky in midnight sea of lullaby and join with souls upon the shore in Passion's sands of evermore "I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments".

Claire, A work of wonder -- this should be the de facto anthem for our forums. Love the sea imagery. We really are unstoppable -- and maybe just a little eroding  -- like the tide.Mike |

~Claire~ No here you go again, writing yet another outstanding poem. I have never before read poems by one person that had such a fire to them, such a uniqueness and such a wisdom to them as yours always does. There are so many talented poets here and around the world, but there is just something about your style. You are a breath of fresh air! I always look for your nickname and always find beauty and universal truths. I loved the title by the way. And, Melissa stands green with envy Take care, Melissa Honeybee [This message has been edited by Melissa Honeybee (edited 06-24-2000).] |

Thank you ALL, so much. This one was such a pleasure to write, as it rather sums up how I feel about our lovely poetic haven, especially since returning from sabbatical. I didn't realize how much I would miss you all, this place, your poems...thank you, in earnest, for such heartwarming words. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Wow Claire...this is purely beautiful and filled with such glorious feeling. Passions is indeed a wonderful place and I am so glad that you have returned to us. I missed your presence greatly. So keep on writing and keep on posting! *Krista Knutson* "Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. If you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." ~James Allen~ "We've made houses for hatred...it's time we made a place where people's souls may be seen and made safe"...~Jewel~ |

I'm voting for this 'cause I don't think I did already. I think that this one and Poet deVine's "Poet's Prayer" would be great for an intro! Elizabeth I'm grabbing my hat and coat I'm leaving the cat a note Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town! |

Ooooh, how did this one slip through the net? I love it Claire It made me think... yes, Passions really is a place that lets us all immortalise our words, even those of us who would otherwise never have dreampt of showing our poetry to another living soul.Eric.

Beautiful. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |
