~No Matter How The Dark The Night~ < !signature-->Though winds of change may blow ... and carry you from the light, though troubled times may befall ... and take you from my loving arms so tight. though tears of sorrow may rain down ... and dark clouds take away your sight, you need only to reach out and find me here ... no matter how dark the night. Let my love make your strong ... let me take all that is wrong and make it right, let my love be your clarity ... make your truths read like black and white. Let me be the wind beneath your wings ... be the moment when you take flight, let my love be the light that guides you home ... no matter how dark the night. May I be your inspiration ... be the reasons that you write ... to be your cadence and rhyme ... your poetic words to recite. All that your heart desires ... allow your anticipation to excite, let your quiet comfort be found in me ... no matter how dark the night. For no matter how lost you feel ... my love can be a beacon shining bright, find your own reflection in my eyes ... then see your self thru my insight. Let my love carry you home ... be when your spirit and soul reunite, Find your way back to you ... thru me ... no matter how dark the night. No matter how dark the night ... Janet Marie  Sprayed across my heart and hers Danced butterflies in the wild This angel, this woman , who loves me with the innocence of a child. ~DeVante~ [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 11-30-2000).] |

No matter how dark the night, I know that this cowboy for sure could find your beacon of light in even the thickest of fog and clouded skies. JM my friend, this is so beautiful and knowing your heart the way that I do, well, it is suffice to say that I have no doubt that just thought of you would and could and DOES inspire nothing but sincere calm and peace in all you touch. Truely a lovely write my friend and believe me, I know and you know that I know. Hugs to you baby. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

'May I be your inspiration ... be the reasons that you write ... to be your cadence and rhyme ... your poetic words to recite. All that your heart desires ... allow your anticipation to excite, let your quiet comfort be found in me ... no matter how dark the night.' These have to be some of the most beautiful lines I have read lately! Excellent writing, JM! Gorgeous pic, too! sp  'cause I am hanging on every word you say, and, even if you don't want to speak tonight, that's alright, alright with me... |

I always find my way back to me through you .. you're a poetic sweetheart in the world of rhythum and rhyme... you're the relief I feel when I'm losing my mind.... but most of all your the special expression that helps me unwind..... and the words just flow out of space into time........ I'm so glad to have you as a special poet friend....especially in the darkest of nights. Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at the door with a thousand million questions about hate and death and war when we stop and look around us there is nothing that we need in a world of persecution that is churning in its greed. it's not the way that you say it when you do those things to me it's more the way that you mean it when you you tell me what will be and when you stop and think about it you won't believe it's true that all the love that you've been giving has all been meant for you. I'm looking for someone to change my life I'm looking for a miracle in my life and if you could only see what it's done to me to lose the love I knew to say that we were through. between the silence of the mountains and the crashing of the sea there lies a land I once lived in and she's waiting there for me. but in the grey of the morning my mind becomes confused between the dead and the sleeping and the road that I must choose. I'm looking for someone to change my life I'm looking for a miracle in my life and if you could only see what it's done to me to lose the love I knew and safely lead me to the land that I once knew and as we grow old the secrets of our soul. It's not the way that you say it when you do those things to me it's more the way you really mean it when you tell me what will be..... why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at the door with a thousand million questions about hate and death and war when we stop and look around us there is nothing that we need in a world of persecution that is burning in its greed Justin Hayward (Moody Blues) |

Janet MArie, there could not be a night dark enough to withstand the shining look of love on your face. I envy whatever man that sees it. Your poetry is so filled with good feeling and promise that you are fast closing in on Spam as life's greatest earthly creation.....no easy task  |

JM, when you write like this, I do not ponder long on what it is you WILL do with your life...I know that you will succeed at every thing you touch... truly a fine piece... and emotionally inspirational...

These wishes are special Unselfish, no greed Just a plea to fulfill Someone's every need. Unconditional love - A desire to give The best that you are As long as you live. Your desired reward His happiness - This poem has touched me I freely confess. |

JM, Just came back for another look, it's as good this time around, but led me down a different path so here my leaking muse. JFY. What's the point of sunrise it only gives off light we also need the shadows and depth of darkest night we need them both, for balance to bind our hearts aright what's the point of daylight without the endless night. What's the point of sunshine without the wash of rain how can we expect to grow without the sting of pain how can we learn to soar, unless we've loved in vain what's the point of windglow without our wing's bane Write on,belong Keth Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there.
