I feel inside the tides, and pull of surge to smell the salt as the breeze will merge To walk the sands that stretch beyond leading to the stillness of low tidal pond Finding a boulder to rest in repose absorbing the thoughts and the subtle flows You are there, and then not as the feelings swirl tossed and turned, flotsam of life in abandonment whirl Closing the eyes, sparkles of light still dance reflection of love that was given by your glance A soft sigh escapes from deep within wondering if the times will be given me again For what is there, will never be gone as long as the breeze brings forth its song A haunting cry rides on that wind to ever remind of the time that was when The now or the then, or of what is to be stretching beyond the simplicity of me All I know is what I can feel when the fingertips of breeze do reveal |

For what is there, will never be gone as long as the breeze brings forth its song A haunting cry rides on that wind to ever remind of the time that was when The now or the then, or of what is to be stretching beyond the simplicity of me All I know is what I can feel when the fingertips of breeze do reveal ========================================== There you go...stiring the fire and sending a message in the smoke on a memory's breeze... Mark is always telling me to catch the breezes too... had to smile at you for this one sweet keeper... another poetic stick on the fire me thinks You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost in everything I do. |

I love your poem, although it made me a little sad as Im doing so much wondering os thens and whens myself these days. If only I could write a response with words as beautiful, so you would know I mean it. If your poem flowed any better, It would slide and run right out of my computer. Go ahead, push your luck; find out how much love the world can hold |

This has such a peaceful feeling to it, An acceptance of things as they are, without losing memories. This is the way I would like to think. Smiles.. Sandra |

...absorb thought as subtle flows... upon the day when west wind blows in the morn when song is high in the eve, when rest is nigh... absorb the love of one who came for the wind carries ever her name... You inspirational poet, you... |
