Dedicated to Kari and Paula two very important of my phoenix sisters, who both are celebrating fantastic achievements this weekend. With love and eternal thanks girls Wings of Fire, The Phoenix Dance We were once all chained to the earth here Held down with despair and mindless fear But the chains were cut and now we're free My sisters of the phoenix fly high with me We shoot into the heavens spraying fire And we can see the envy feel your desire We have been held down for far too long Now hear us sing this our phoenix song Where once the sky held darkness and sighs There's now us firing the air, shining the skies Performing aerial acrobatics weaving the light We are pure fire power, feel our awed delight See our wings of fire grow brighter, then flare This is our wonder, these our spirits we share You didn't understand our real need to soar Never will we be restrained, captives never more Our spirits soar, now higher we will fly Delighting in our aerial artistry our wings sigh We tease the sky dancing in our fearless flight Tasting the champagne air in gulps of light How we enliven and flirt with the deep sky And our wings light up the air as there we fly Here the Sisterhood of the Phoenix now rule We learnt the how of flight within pains school We know you're awed by our incandescence For too long we held back our sheer brilliance Hiding our lights away to prevent envy's pout Finally we can't deny ourselves we've let it out Flames shedding in glorious heated white fire We spiral and dance in mirth and joys' desire We the sisters of the phoenix will be ever true To our faith, loves hope and to each other too Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Marsha, with shy blush, I take your hand, and Paula's hand, and dance in a ring of delight...this is awesome young lady...you have outdone yourself! This is taking a place of honor in [guess where] my library! Hugs to you and your pen...and I SEE you shaking those tailfeathers! |

Kari love, see I can stretch when it's worthwhile, and I know you never doubt my ability. (It's me that does that,) but the effort this took was worth it. Take care love and congratulations again Majestic Puckish Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Paula love, no I'll get better, as I said the worlds my lobster now dear heart. And we are beautiful, no wonder phoenixes provoke envy, if I was tied to the ground and looked up and saw us cavorting in the sky I'd be envious too. And as for your graceful spirals love, even I feel a tad envious. But as long as you teach me that elegant back flip, I'll not repine. Take care love as always Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Out of the ashes, and up from the fire... She rises in spirit, of heart and desire... A sister called Marsha, all beauty and grace... a most needed Phoenix in Passion's own place... Well done, big sister.... Write on! -<--<--{(@ |

Sven love, they are worth the effort dear heart as are you too. And I did put a little effort into it, so I'm glad it shows. So join us love, you know shooting into the heavens is bound to be exhilarating. And the air up here tastes soooooooo good Take care love and thanks always Mushy Lil sis love, thank you so much sweetie, you knew I wouldn't be down for long I know. Take care kid Mushy Kit love, thank you truly, it's all down to a new dose of PMA, and about time i hear the world sigh. Kari and Paula, both deserved my best efforts so I decided to shake my tail feathers and get efforting. Take care love Mushy Margie love, thank you so very very much, for so many things, and for gifting me with my heart again dear heart. For before I came here, I was lost and had tucked my heart so far away because it had been broken far too many times. I didn't want to feel anymore, but if you don't feel, you miss far more than you gain. Thank you love always Take care love Mushy Kethry love, I will always have a spare hand for you dear heart, did you have to ask?? NO you're right, you didn't!! Now everyone will say I'm selfish because I only offered you my hand, don't they know I'm the wind beneath your wings. You will always fly with the sister dear heart, always! Take care love Slushy Tracie love, thank you so very very muchly, I certainly appreciate it. But it is really in honour of all the Sisterhood of the Phoenix, and we have some men members, who are honorary women. Take care as always love Mushy MM Angel in flight, what a delightful name, and I'm so pleased you could see the visual element. Thank you so very much Take care Marsha LL love, thank you so very muchly, of course we'll take you with us, the air will be alight with our brilliance, we shall live on air, and sup on nectar. So pleased you like it, I'm quite fond of this one, but then seeing as it was written for two very special people it should be extra special. Take care love Mushy < !signature--> Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 01-14-2001).] |
