When first I Came When I first came upon you I was clothed in night I was lonely I was desolate I couldn’t see the light The stars didn’t know me, for me they didn’t shine I’d lost my way and hope, I was so very far from fine I came upon you on my way it was quite by chance You smiled, beckoning me to join in poetic dance My first steps here were awkward I was so unsure All I knew was that here I found my missing core My spirit unfurled like a rose just starting to bloom My life was a tapestry taking its shape on the loom Your poetic words gave me the stitches of my heart I think that right here was where I began to start My poetic ramblings you read and didn’t turn away Just for that I’d be thanking you forever and a day I wouldn’t say my writings are beautiful but it’ll do As long as I can stay here for all eternity with you You are the reason to my rhyme don’t you now see That here in this haven my refuge I found beauty I’ve likened you to wines to flowers and other things You Passionate Poets are the reason my soul sings I can’t explain the magic that calls forth my heart My friends and my family here I will never be apart You given me so much you’ve restored my lost soul I thank you Passions Poets for making me whole Marsha -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Magic Never did believe in magic It wasn't for the likes of me Cheap tricks with smoke and mirrors Speedy hand deceives the eye No such thing as magic Sadly, I breathe a sigh Could there be a little magic Whispered in the words of song Running through my life I stumble You took my hand and helped me rise Could there be a little magic Shining softly in your eyes Maybe I believe in magic Could it be there for me Painting my heart and life with rainbows Spining starlight through my dreams Maybe there's some special magic Maybe it's not only dreams Truly I believe in magic Nerver saw it there before Can't imagine life and love without it Magic, magic everywhere Yes there's really magic It fills me spills me everywhere Beverley Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 03-02-2001).] |

Mushy, We're so glad you came you've made a sort of fame your path here has been cleft with laughter if you left, no happy ever after I loved your phoenix rising and your bid to push horizons admired the way you smiled through pain and always ounced, came back again I've enjoyed your poetic musings and you're challenges some of which were bruising Let's raise our glass and give a hand for Beverly, Marsha, Mushy, Puck, Dear Heart, Grace, and the rest has reached 3000 CONGRATULATIONS DEAR ONE! KNOW YOU ARE LOVED!Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |
