Listen do you hear me in the music of the song Listen are you waiting you must teach me to be strong listen to the laughter in your heartbeat I belong wait now can’t you hear me you must dance me you must stay hold me will you touch me I can feel you slip away wait now there is time yet let me love you one more day You say I am wind now I can’t hear you blow my way. |

A beautiful poem,Martie. It really touched me. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

Such pretty words to grace my screen. Thanks Martie "The storm rises up when the shadows descend every beat of my heart every day without end I will stand like a rock I will bend till I break till theres no more to give if thats what it takes I will risk everything I will fight I will bleed I will lay down my life if thats what you need every second I live thats the promise I make" I have no idea who wrote this... tell me if you know. =) |

Martie, This is wonderful! Pretty soon you'll be writing villanelles! I also loved your moon poem. It is a gem Liz |

My hearts withers within me as I read this. I have been there, but I could not find the words as you have here. Aching pain in beautiful verse, with a magnificent title. |
