As I Gather In tonight I shall gather in my thoughts gather in my love gather in my lot I shall gather in my soul take control and like a crystal bowl shall hold all and shine as I gather in all memories all lost histories long kept stories I shall gather in to trust without fuss all I must for this is my foundation as I am part of a creation No, I did not ask for this existence but revel in its insistence that I am here for the here and now and in that somehow I shall leave a mark before I park it all away I shall gather in should just one look back from the beyond and know I was on this earth should just one look back when I am gone and judge me worthy of my birth perhaps they too shall gather me in yes, I have sinned and I have repented and unrelenting I forgive for I could not live in stricter course for the remorse would do me in please do not think me absurd if I seem a little unsure for I am not, no, not really; I just think that to not forgive would not fit me, really… as I am more live and let live… so as I gather in my thoughts over what was wrought in the past years and century know that I share now my gifts somehow and that I wish you, surely, to gather in the love of you to carry you through this life do gather in all that you are because you too were born under a star and it is what you do and how it's done that will brighten your days under the morning sun so gather it in and make it fine and know that you are in these thoughts of mine. 12.30.00 Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

very wise and true words, sunshine. Everything we do, have done and feel makes up what we are....the good and the bad. Many times we tend to ignore the bad or mistakes made but, in reality, everything that we have touched or has touched us is the fabric of our essence...it's not only what our actions have been but how we have reacted to them and used them to make ourselves stronger....and, if somehow we can serve as a good example to someone through our actions and our show of forgiveness of others, our time on this earth has been justified. Jeez, you got me waxing philosophically here, Sunshine.....well, call it wool-gathering  |

Marge, yes.... Cat...I just told my mate I was "not good enough" and here you go, trying to prove otherwise...what a wonderful thing for you to say, to one who is not yet sure... 'Deer...what can I say...first you offer "cotton" and then you offer "wool"...I think I will wrap myself in both and stay warm all of this cold, snowy winter, and smile...thank you Sir...wax all you want, the candles will glow... |

I'd like to gather you in and give ya a big kiss! But then that husband would hunting me forever......but maybe the stress would be worth it just thinking about it all in perspective. This is fabulous stuff! Karilea you certainly have this wonderful inner soul that pours out in your words and phrases. I agree with your thoughts and the reflections here and I for one am very appreciative of the wonderful gift of consciousness that the grand creator has bestowed upon me...for with it I can share with all of the poets here the beautiful language of poetry....thanks for these thoughts......have a great new year..ethome |

Happy New Year K. jm Some people find subtlety in strangers if you find anything~let me in Your eyes~you see everything my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know |
