Walking the sands of time, mountains yet still to climb. Rearing up the pathways go winding high and winding low. Peaks of accomplishments, then back down. into valleys of despair profound. Footsteps are not able to stop, even when reaching the peaceful top. Though trying to stop and rest awhile, they continually lead on another mile. Portals beckon, some wide, some thin, when passing though time over again. As the wolf that glides in the night to some is presented a distant fright. Others who know, and have a feel, know the wolf is not to harm and very real. Stopping to listen, then moving on, a lonely cry sounds, singing his song. Sometimes weary, sometimes sad, yet always trying to feel glad. Reaching deep as continue to trod, walking along many a rod. Where does it end, this road I keep, maybe never for what I seek. |

Ah, the road shall never end my gentle friend. For it continues from one life into the next, forever evolving. The wolf seeks just as we do. Always searching for peace and purpose in life. I really like this one.  All writing comes |

Oh, Guardian~ It is not the toil not the miles But the gentleness of your smile That keeps you steady on your goal Finding hearts making them whole In giving smiles you are aware They are returned for you to wear Steady onward the course is steep But you've many more hearts to keep Tending fires enlightening souls You've much further yet to go Rest a while then steady your way You've touched another heart this day Smile your *gentle smile* for you are loved so much The fire glows brighter with your caring touch Much love and understanding~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

The thoughtful, generous replies are as good as the poem itself. The spiral is indeed there, and the way is up. The many portals will open, and the Wolf is but a messenger. It is up to us to stop and listen. I do like all of the analogies. Thank you for this, Sir! |

The birth of today washes my spirit clean As yesterday's oblivion is now visibly seen Tomorrow's peace flows in thundering falls Through treasures of nature as she calls ***************************************** Hope you don't mind but that is how this one struck me and sometimes I just sort of go off on a twist. This was a very wonderful read as all I have read of yours are but more than that I truely enjoy the expression of thought and vision in your works. Well done and of course the flow of the entire piece was superb. |

This is at least my third time around, and I'm running out of thoughts for your work. I can sit here and be amazed at your depth and thoughts in what you write. Thats all I can do, Sweet One. Sorry I haven't been around as much. I'm reading though.  |

This was a really good read with some wonderfully deep thoughts. The following lines have a bit of redundancy in them though, the word 'know' in such close proximity seems to weaken the piece, I think. Just a little tweaking here, would help a lot, don't you think? |
