Come sit beside me and tell me your dream For I am a mother and not what I seem My essence is felt in the wind, rain and sun My whispering, comforts, when day is done. Come feel my presence it's never too much I can be gentle a zephyr's soft touch A whisper of frost is all that I show a promise of brightness, a hint of first snow. I am the sky and touch of earth when you fly I'll keep you grounded when dreams have passed by My spirit whistles through water so deep And in the moonlight I'll touch you in sleep I am the spring the promise of green In trees all surrounding a new life is seen my scent from each flower and grasses so tall can capture this moment and glory in fall I am the promise of all that you miss The renewing of spring in nature's first kiss The opening of flowers that reach up to try The sunlight and shadow that dapple the sky Renewing in power from things you can see is what I can grant you, if you come to me So come take a moment and tell me your dream I'll hold you gently ere you sink in the stream of life……… Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Mark & Marie will both be tickled pink you wrote this.. I'll tell him later tonite ... your gift for cadence is on display here girlie. Love the empowerment found in nature theme of this ...as well as the imagery. Very well done Poetess Keth  he said ... "dont cry" ... |

Keth darling sister of my soul and reflector of my star I suppose you think that's cool, waltzing off with the prize before I've even taken in the challenge? Hmmmmmmm? Oh hilarious darling girl.  Well good grief, I haven't even got the horse to the starting gate and you are romping home.   So daring girl what am I to do, I can see you've gone and won now. Sooooo maybe I'll sulk, noooooooo I think not, green doesn't suit me and besides it's so unattractive.  And I need all the attractiveness I can get. besides you know that these words were mine, you just purloined them when I wasn't looking So I don't need to do the challenge, it's clear that this is already mine. You simply put the wrong name on it. (Margie girl I appeal to your sense of fair play, this is definitely mine Darling girl you know me if I can't win one way I'll cheat. Wonderfully well written, but then it would be since it's mine. bounce:     Love and warm stuff as always Slushy  :celebrate  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 12-02-2001).] |

Ok Keth...Im back....sorry I took so long LOL Lastnight when I was on phone with Mark, I couldnt get on-line to read it to him... anyway.... Marks off line again for awhile traveling for his work... so he asked me to tell you how cool this poem is... he loved the comparisons to Natures many gifts of spirit and strength and the tie in with mother-nature and even motherhood. also the imagery and of course the cadence which is a treat to read aloud for me so once again I say...well done poetess Kethry... and now I got a cowboy backing me up LOL  (and an Aquarian) SOOOO I must be right |

Thanks, everyone Marge, I didn't mean to incorporate the two themes but you know what it's like...give a girl an idea... Nan when am I going to read your work, so cool that the gang is crossing the floor. JM, that you like the cadence is amazing because you have such perfect rhythm. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
