From The First You beckon me, I willingly follow, over rocky barrier, ‘cross sleepy hollow, along the river’s stream, by the water’s fall, through the sun’s shine, just to heed the call… and were you then, or are you now, a piped piper of this dream, this most intangible stretch of gossamer’s thread and melodious sound with which so tightly you bind ‘round my heart, keeping me close, and I snuggle into your heart, safe, warm, home… ah comfort, come thus it is found then here, right here in this, the spirit of you, your essence encircling me in garland of gold as if from the first day the earth saw light and amazed, when the light saw us and were you then, or are you now, a piped piper of this dream, this most intangible stretch of gossamer’s thread and melodious sound with which so tightly you bind ‘round my heart, keeping me close, and I snuggle into your heart, safe, warm, home… I shan’t ask the question for the truth lies here, in your eyes, in this kiss in this bliss on this plane to which I shall come again, and again and were you then, or are you now, a piped piper of this dream, this most intangible stretch of gossamer’s thread and melodious sound with which so tightly you bind ‘round my heart, keeping me close, and I snuggle into your heart, safe, warm, home… Yes… Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?...KRJ |

Karilea, come over here, I can't reach to throw the flowers to you. This is so beautiful, so warm and, I just love it. So love, I'll send the truck round with the bouquets then, okay. Just don't you go smiling at the driver, because he's a bit of a lad.  (or so I'm told!)Take care Marsha |

as we all know, home is where your heart is and from your beautiful poem, home in your case must be a most wonderous place. Superb writing. |

Dear Sunshine, (I wanted to paste-lost it) This is beautiful. Everyone needs a place of which you speak..a plane to... drink and find peace. Our lives are so hetic today that sometimes we must stop, find that place and drink of the living water. Loved this, so well written and left for the readers mind to gather in. You do this better than anyone I know. Marcy |

Vandana...thank you much... Marcy...you are a breath of fresh air, always! Thank you for believing in what I pen...even on days that I don't have anything to say, reading your responses always fills me with hope... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

I really liked the way this was done. I love to read something that is original and this is. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |
