Do you come back do you come back to see if there is a thank you as you left for me the kindliest note and gentle regard do you come back to see if the card has been signed in my name or by someone other for family has joined some sisters and brothers and now we never know who might read so all notes are left with lines of God speed and good cheer is usually in great supply but when our words are really good the numbers fly and I could spend more time on my write if I thought that throughout the night you didn’t read my lines then my acknowledgment that you felt this with me and perhaps a tear was rent wouldn’t bring me back time after time… if you didn’t read these lines… but the numbers continue to rise and with ready tears in my eyes I hold my breath just a bit to see if you’ve seen it but your name does not reside among those who have read and with ready tongue have given of silent applause but if you’ve not read it then it gives me pause for I have sent to you the site of this piece I have read to you in silence the words that would ease my heart and my mind but apparently you won’t allow your heart to unwind you won’t sing your song with me and you won’t lend a hark to my thee so if you come back and just read and think know that I know when you read for in your face and in your screen I have just winked…{~,^} 10 December 2000 Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Kari, And who wouldn't come back, and return and return. Only a foolish soul, and there aren't that many certifiable people around surely. This is wonderful, and what is it doing near the bottom of the page. Well, I'm sending it back to the top. (Yes it's true I am just a little biased, but not very ) And today's lucky superlative is...... Terrific. (Congratulations Terrific, you have the pleasure of travelling all over the blue pages today ) Kari this is terrific, it really is superb, and yes I love it too. Take care kid Majestic Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

How could anyone not come back to read heartfelt words from you?? If I were blind, I could still move my fingers across the screen and know the sincerity printed there in your lines.....did I mention I like the way you write? |

Kari, This was a very personal, sincere, and moving piece of work. I felt the words...and that means it was very well-done. I can tell you are a very kind and gentle soul... Kris All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings...~William Wordsworth |

{now we'll see if anyone really read the words....} Serenity...you always have my secret smiles...tuck them away dear...they are keepers... Marsha my friend, I don't know one silly soul around here...well, maybe one...ME...LOL...thank you... SEA...don't we though...bless you... 'Deer...once, maybe twice...yes, at least that many, I believe... Kris...sometimes we have to hurt a lot before we can take it and acknowledge that we love that much better for the pain we've been through...perhaps in that we share a kindred secret... Thank you little Bonnie...I always treasure your visits... Yes Sven, you do...and I appreciate your every read...and more so, your writes... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Kari, I always check but you know that, and you are not a silly soul. And this is going back to the front. Take care Majestic Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
