WASHING OVER ME I feel it, so soothing, so warm, tingling the sun of hope relinquished from clouds of doom of doubt of eternal gray haze I watch, wild with wonder, amazed one touch growing now, burning evaporating all damp, dank condensation of a lingering ~ past ~ How I relish it, this silken promise shining of peace, of belief the trust tomorrow yet holds the dreams of today I bask in it cherishing the new birth free from chrysalis at last in but looking on you In this, this moment I've dreamt of forever Michael Anderson [This message has been edited by Michael (edited 04-21-2000).] |

My friend, you have just written my mood, here -- thank you for improving it even more! After so much darkness in my life of late, the light is nearly blinding ...  Big silly grins ... --Me Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |

Me thinks, m'dear, that it is high time for basking in the soothing warmth of the Sun of Hope and Love. This poem is breathtaking...it speaks of rebirth and of joy, with a spring-like newness about it. It is time for forever-dreams to become reality for you, Michael. I adore it.  May I never be too busy to help another's load, Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed. --Author Unknown |

I feel it... Indeed Michael, I feel it too. How could one not with such an emotionally charged piece! Wonderful presentation, and what a way to push across those words. Wow! Jason |

Yeah. What they said. Could there be a more luminous sensation? I loved your "silken promise" line. (((you))) ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

I watch, wild with wonder, amazed one touch growing now, burning evaporating all damp, dank condensation of a lingering ~ past ~ ----------- I bask in it cherishing the new birth free from chrysalis at last in but looking on you In this, this moment I've dreamt of forever ------------- exquisite M, truly... this one glows with your light, you shine in this poem of hope and promise. oh how I love seeing you like this... warms my heart(smile) take care, jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |
