Is this muse of mine returning? Perhaps a little at a time. I have just been so frustrated, no words have been here to rhyme. Each day I come here to this page to see the words of friends, and in amongst the beauty here I find the words don't end. As I read I hear the poets voice as it whispers on the wind and slowly in this heart of mine I feel as though my heart may mend. Slowly a smile spreads to my lips as my eyes dance across the page and I find a certain sort of wisdom here that releases me from my cage. And in these words I "see mem'ries brushed upon the canvas of life" and though twas "just a thought that passed" her wisdom brings an ending to my strife. Sometimes "I play this back over and over again" "in my moments of sweet recall," and I read the "traces she leaves behind" as they pick me up from my fall. All of these moments that I spend reading the words of those so dear although I am not present every day be assured that in my heart I am near. I find this place to be a comfort, providing serenity and peace I wish you all the very best and may your muses never cease. I feel a stirring deep in my soul as a light begins to burn and maybe through the friendship here my muse will somehow return. (and to all of you whose lines I have borrowed, I thank you all so much. I couldn't think of a better way than to thank you by including some of your words.) Love and Peace. On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. ~Me~ [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (edited 06-23-2001).] |

I think this is a very sweet tribute to Passions. I'll second that (don't know if it's the right expression, but always wanted to say that line, you'll get the picture I think) ![]() Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |
