Do you hear the heartbeat? White feather the poems are calling Do you feel friendship's heat? White feather the poems are calling Do you sense the sadness, White feather the poems are calling An absence of all gladness? White feather the poems are calling Do you feel the pull and tug, White feather the poems are calling Surrounded by the warmest hug? White feather the poems are calling Do you miss the repartee? White feather the poems are calling Do you need the insanity? White feather the poems are calling The poems are calling loud and long Come back soon and bring your song Why do yesterdays remain and todays pass by ...unnoticed? Rex E. Alford |

SEA, it's for Marge, who has temporarily left and as she has the Cherokee use name of White Feather I thought I could build on that. Obviously misguided on my part. Be well Kethry Why do yesterdays remain and todays pass by ...unnoticed? Rex E. Alford |

Wonderful poem and plea for one that means so much to us all. When I saw the title I was drawn as I knew it was for Marge and I have one with the same title back in open 9. I am sure she will return as soon as she is done pouting and she will love to see that she is missed. YEAH, as if she didn't know already. |

Kethry White Feather is very happy that you have paid her a fine tribute and you couldn'thave written it for a better poetic Jewell than White Feather...I think you are to be commended for your wonderful thoughts and work!! |

Sunshine, thanks for stopping by and spreading your rays of happiness Charisma, thanks but this was more a pleasure than a job Mark, I know ethome, thanks for the kind words Marsha, I was aiming for Mushy. How'd I do? Marge thank you so much for hearing the drums and... and... and for being you. Come back soon. *HuGS* Kethry Why do yesterdays remain and todays pass by ...unnoticed? Rex E. Alford |

Kethry- i'm so happy to have found this.. what a wonderful penning for a very special lady... she certainly is missed, and i'm sure, when she is ready, our White Feather will gently float in on a breeze.. wonderfully rhythmic write. -vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes |

Kethry, yours is far better than mere 'Mushy' Oh! no this is far superior. I really do love this one love, it's soooooo you. Take care Slushy Mushy Now what would you do if I started putting down all of my names. (No it's far too confusing ) Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Mark, Well I think she's pretty special too. The first poem I ever read here was one of Marge's. It touched me in ways I can't even begin to describe. Thanks for the bump. Coco, Thanks for the comment on the explanation if it helped then it's good. Thanks also for the unique comment (did you mean weird)*laughs* I like your style too gurl.

Kethry~ As we gather together to celebrate the rites of the Thanksgiving holiday - I will think of you and be thankful for your friendship. May the Great Spirit bless and keep you. May you greet the sunshine with a smile. May you know that these moccasined feet walk with you in friendship. I thank you for this lovely gift and will share it with my family.
