 Holly Blue's Song Rope Orion and stretch it across the Milky Way Paint fields of blossoms on the canvas of heaven Use a thousand languages to find the words to say Take a numeral in infinity and multiply it times seven  Capture a midnight tornado in the power of all it's might Visualize the world as you would see through an eagles eye Bottle the brightness from every star in this Autumn's night Take the beautiful song of unicorns and mermaids that cry Dive the depths of darkness encased in the bottomless sea Pan for gold in the streams of angelwings in threads of lace Count the needles in every haystack upon your bended knee Peer into blackholes sharing tunnels from regions in space If you were to do all of this with open eyes and tender heart If you could just imagine the touch of what all of this brings If you were to look into a butterflies soul each and every part Then you would hear the song that Holly Blue's heart sings Mark Bohannan [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 10-17-2000).] |

'Use a thousand languages to find the words to say Take a numeral in infinity and multiply it times seven' Wow! Fantastic illustrations, Mark! I love the graphics, too! sp Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'it might have been.' -John Greenleaf Whittier |

Mark, You have done it again. So much effort, even though it seems effortless for you. You are a credit to Passions. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Mark my friend, just wait until the MBOOPAS see this, I can say without fear of contradiction that they will love this one. As if it wasn't enough that you've posted beauty on the site, you cap it again and again. Utterly amazing, if I were to scour the works of every master poet, I'd still not find one with half the ability you consistently display. Awesome, it truly is. Take care Marsha [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 10-18-2000).] |

Marsha-Just who is paying you to come up with these replies cause I know it ain't me my friend. Thank you much...I don't have the proper words for you comments...Karilea-You???? Put down your pen??? I think not my friend or you will have at least one mad poet pounding on your door. Thank you dearly. Victoria-Thank you for reading not only once but twice and next time you are around the golden nugget....drop one in the slot for me. Deb-Thank you and I am glad you liked the flow in this one. serenity-Thank you my friend....especially for that wonderful hug...come back ANYTIME... Holly-No thanks needed and as you know, I only pen what is in my heart....so we all know it is true don't we? (say yes, and then just ) Thank you for inspiring this one as well as so many of my others my friend. |

Wow! You know, you read and you read and there are just so many good poems on this site, it is amazing. And then you come across something like this and you just get blown away. The images, the flow, everything about it seems so effortless, so natural. Great poem, Mark, great poem... |

Oh Mark ... I'm so behind on my reading the last few days, but as they say, better late than never! I'm so glad I did not miss this incredible piece. Absolutely stunning, in both it's presentation and style. The descriptiveness brings such beautiful visions to mind ... wonderfully picturesque! Into "my" library this goes ... Best wishes, /Kit |

Kit-my friend, you are not the only one that is behind in their replies. I have not as much time as I used to so please do not feel bad. I am honored that you would put this in your library and you not only honor me but you honor the sweetest and most caring person that I have ever known as it is truely "her" poem, not mine. I only penned what I have been blessed to see. Thank you my friend. Kethry-She is amazing for sure. Thank you much. Marcy-Thank you dearly and for you to take the time to read again is the greatest compliment a poet could get, reply or not. dgvarner-Yes, I do love my friend as she has taught me much in how special "TRUE" friendship can be and how "unconditional" it is. Thank you so very much for stopping by. |

If you were to do all of this with open eyes and tender heart If you could just imagine the touch of what all of this brings If you were to look into a butterflies soul each and every part Then you would hear the song that Holly Blue's heart sings I know this to be true! Just a beautiful write, and sorry I wasn't around to get these first round, but printed it for my book of Passions poets this time! |
