When I expose my feelings something inside of me tells me I won't be the same I read the morning news I get the longing blues too many thoughts I can't explain. Give me good news where can it take me what can it do for me to make me a man? The worst won't break me but never escape me the rest can heal me and I can heal the rest. When I see a moonbeam above a silent stream like a vision in the night I see the wisdom I the see everything I see the only peace in sight. It's there I get thinking what makes it all so bold when you're looking through the gift of life those precious times glow Lord I'd just like to know where I'm going by good-bye. Give me good news where can it take me what can it do for me to make me a man? The worst won't break me but never escape me the rest can heal me and I can heal the rest. And if I stayed there I'd never get anywhere but I can come back in time. It's in that moonbeam it's in that silent stream it's in the reason there's a why. |

Ethome--You must be changing all the time, because you sure do know how to write those feelings...you sing the longing blues so well and I loved the last stanza! |

Your first two lines set the tone for this piece so well. Very rhythmic, reflective. You write this way so well, ethome. Rainydays |

Ethome~ Beautiful write And if I stayed there I'd never get anywhere but I can come back in time. It's in that moonbeam it's in that silent stream it's in the reason there's a why. ...simply outstanding Tracie~ Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |

When I see a moonbeam above a silent stream like a vision in the night I see the wisdom I the see everything I see the only peace in sight. It's there I get thinking what makes it all so bold when you're looking through the gift of life those precious times glow Lord I'd just like to know where I'm going by good-bye. Give me good news where can it take me what can it do for me to make me a man? The worst won't break me but never escape me the rest can heal me and I can heal the rest. And if I stayed there I'd never get anywhere but I can come back in time. It's in that moonbeam it's in that silent stream it's in the reason there's a why. =============== Oh E-babes...Im changing your name to VantheMan ... this is SOOOO COOOOOOOL you rock and roll and soothe me soul I do so adore your cadence. =========== Theres a reason and why ... for all that passes us by Should we go or stay in the end ... will it all matter anyway I stopped asking why long ago one look in your eyes told me all I need to know take a chance and lets dance on that silent moonbeam for just one night ... Ill be the Queen of Your Slipstream.  Queen of the Slipstream Van Morrison You're the Queen of the slipstream With eyes that shine You have crossed many waters to be here You have drank of the fountain of innocence And experienced the long cold wintry years. There's a dream where the contents are visible Where the poetic champions compose Will you breathe not a word of this secrecy, and Will you still be my special rose? Bridge Goin' away far across the sea But I'll be back for you Tell you everything I know Baby everything is true Will the blush still remain On your cheeks my love In the light always seen In your head? Gold and sliver they placed At your feet my dear But I know you chose me. Instead Goin' away... etc. You're the Queen of the slipstream I love you so You have crossed many waters to be here And you drink at the fountains of innocence And experienced, you know very well |

Ethome...how you've grown! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Ethome...this is remarkable. Definitely written in a style I really respond to... 'It's there I get thinking what makes it all so bold when you're looking through the gift of life those precious times glow Lord I'd just like to know where I'm going by good-bye.' Your whole poem has a feel to it...a casuality, yet lurking underneath is this sheer depth which makes the thoughts that much more striking. I appreciate it. Good good job.

"The worst won't break me but never escape me the rest can heal me and I can heal the rest." ethome, I don't think i'll ever forget these lines. This poem is magnificent all the way through. Nicely done. Poeminister "...no single sound too rude Upon thy slumber shall intrude, Our thoughts, our souls- O God above! In every deed shall mingle, love." --EA |
