For a moment

might one take but a moment brief
to think of one, and bring relief
worrisome matters, they should fade
when cast upon, by eyes of jade

to think of one, to bring a smile
worrisome matters, then gone awhile
when cast upon, by eyes of blue
this is then what you can do

worrisome matters, tears to hide
when cast upon, by eyes of brown
this is then what goes around
when a circle is formed oh so wide

when cast upon, by eyes of the world
this is then what shall be, that sails unfurled
when a circle of hands reach out for you
and lift you up, these moments through

so for a moment, for a moment brief
breathe a soft sigh of relief
so that worrisome matters may fall behind
when caught up in the circle of humankind

that care for one another

This is beautiful...there are just not words
to describe how this touched my heart...you
seem to do that alot lately... and yes
this sums of the family of Passions
perfectly and goodness knows if anyone could
do that it would be you!  Excellent weaving~


The best and most beautiful things
in the world cannot be seen or even touched

Karilea~

Your eyes shine with compassion.
They twinkle with merriment.
The eyes of an angel,
surely Heaven-sent.

Leave it to you, it's not the hue
of your eyes that set you apart
It's the glow - of Sunshine's bestow
that pours forth from your heart.

Love you~

So eloquently said, Sunshine.  The bond we share here shall never be broken.  Well done.

Sunshine-Very lovely poem, even though my eyes are green, I think they would blend in with the rest of the world quite nicely.

There is just no hiding your compassion and caring nature, Karilea. There is no doubt you would never hesitate to be a friend to anyone in need and anyone would have to be crazy to not be there for you. This poem...and you...are beautiful things.

For A Moment
Touches All Things
And In That DefiningWant
Answers Pass By Waving Flags

Enunciating What Becomes Light
Or Denied The Always Bannered Query
To Line The Thoughts Hearts Pathway
With Every Notion Inspired Not Acquired

Write well, shine upon, All That Is
For All That See They Cannot
Blindness Man is lifted Immediate
Unceremoniously We Simply SEE

Well struck are your words
Chisel to the stone
Carve On
Carve On


The Song That Is Soul
It Reaches Defiant
Giving It In And Given
Calling All Souls Rise

Kari love, where was this hiding, I know it wasn't hiding, I was. But I'm out of hiding and this is indeed wonderful love, as always, and you know I'm always there with my little flag.
Take care
