 To the Power of One To be seen as one An individual Unique in my own way, But adding to the harmony of the whole. To be loved as one Apart from all others Not for what I have done But for who I am and what I will do To live as one In my own domain Not a parasite on another Or a host smothering anyone To die as one But missed by many Leaving behind warm memories To those I have touched and have touched me |

Startime....Thank You I got a new digital camera and have really loved it. I will miss the flowers and butterflies this winter. I seem to see the world differently now through this camera. Marge...Thank you. Your comments are always treasured. Some poems seem to flow from the heart and this was one of them. Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |

" To be seen as one An individual Unique in my own way, But adding to the harmony of the whole.

I'm sitting here nearly spellbound. In fact, I am...except for my fingers moving over the keyboard. That's really all I can say right now, except that I long for the feeling in this poem. Yes, I certainly long for it. Kathleen (Kay) |

To die as one But missed by many Leaving behind warm memories To those I have touched and have touched me ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dan, these lines of course are my favourite, as I believe we all wish to be remembered fondly, by ones we have touched. Very well done! ~magical hugs, *S* Nancy Lee *S*~ "A dream is a wish your heart makes..." |

Oh gosh that is great. When you mentioned the camera I thought of you capturing a snowflake somehow on film....How magical that would be...Or a field that is filled with new fallen snow...ah, sweet man, the visions you have just given me are amazing. **big hugs** I am sure you will find the magic of winter through this new eye that captures such beauty. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Noah...Thank You. I have enjoyed reading your poems and I truly thank you for your warm comments. Kay...Thank you, I can really tell when a poem is right if I can bring a tear or make someone speachless. It is always a bonus when I can make a red haired lass speachless. Dan Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |

When I read this I couldn't help but realize that this is what all human beings want in this life. It is so simplistic a need that I find it amazing we can become so lost. I believe, sir Knight, you have isolated the true ache of all who inhabit our planet!! True artistry!! |

The photography was fantastic by the way! This poem spoke of such longing of peace, and a sense of knowing it was to come. It was truly an amazing poem, thanks Dan. ~*~ May the spirit of this season live in your heart all year through ~*~ |
