Reasons Why Lest it be said in playful jest that tis true openly they shall test As one will say nay and the other will say not as they play With tunes gold in windows shut blaring silence fills the room out of todays rut Tempt not song nor sun in sky shall it be said for all one's true reasons why Mark Bohannan |

Methinks sometimes the sun just shines and never stops to think of why, methinks that we should do the same and play, like drops of sun-kisssed rain... and if methinks too much 'tis true... I'll stay inside. Remembering you. (now everybody, go pick apples...) |

Drawn out from the silence, a thousand words said, door locked tight, upon my bed, I hear it.. and understand. I do like it. |

I know about blaring silences. I'm not sure I understand this, but I like it. |

there are oft reasons why we need the silence that surrounds us, a time for joy and peace to inspire us, a time for sunlight and stars to delight us, a time for happiness and a smile to come our way, SO here's a hug back to you for all the times you've made that smile come to my face. I loved this poem it really has a little of us all in it. |

JM-Rejoice in the sunshine from pulled back drapes and know that it is all good in the light of living. Thank you so much my endearing friend. Now where the heck is your damn pass? serenity- Me thinks you think that play is shine and therefore warmth in the sun shall rest upon the dew of each morn in temptuous song rejoicing in the growth of mutual friends basking upon tans of tomorrows promises. Thank you my "OFFICIAL" friend. I knew you would see the apples needing to picked. Karilea-Life in itself is fun as long as there are stars to be kissed in tomorrows noon. Thank you so much for understanding this one. Martie-The window is open. Didn't you feel the breeze come in? hugs my friend seraphin-Out of the bed and into the sun with you. There are apples to be picked. Now go on get with it. Thank you and maybe you do. reject-nothing rejected here and you will if you don't yet. Thanks so much Rosebud1229-As long as your silence is NEVER quiet then you know you are still breathing. Thank you my friend. |

MarkB~ Me ? I'd throw open the window and SING ! Time to take that nature walk ... Reach out and touch someone who needs to hear your song ! Loving you with apple-cheeked smiles ~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Mark, now how did I miss this gem, it's going to work, now why does it have to interfere with what I really would prefer to do. This is a true beauty, it's those sunbeams that do it everytime, they give such a golden glow. Actually they just make your poems shine extra brightly, so instead of just shining they now eclipse. Beauty in poetic form, I love this! Take care Marsha (and watch where you walk, if you look down you'll see me kneeling at the feet of the master) |

I see two people just going through the motions, because they've been together for so long, all familiarities(spelled right?) known, on each others nerve, because like it or not, they only have each other. I think I said a mouthful. ok shut the window, I'll be quiet. Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox |

I read and reread and I guess being new I am not quite sure what was meant but reading the responses I loved this of yours to Karilea "Life in itself is fun as long as there are stars to be kissed in tomorrows noon." and I am going to borrow that idea inspired by you Mark it is just wonderful!! ~Wynter Bliss "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

'With tunes gold in windows shut blaring silence fills the room out of todays rut' Don't think I've seen this one before, but, a great one again, nonetheless, my Friend. sp Do not go where the path may lead, but instead, go where there is no path and leave a trail. - Ralph Waldo Emerson |
