Arrive safely
where ever
when ever
burrow into
your place
devoid of light
wrapped in your
own arms

enjoy

Once there,
find no threats
or enticements
yearning & fear
are mere things
of the past
surrounding you
is everything
familliar
you are safe

I am not...

(sigh) I think we can all relate to this so much, sweet friend, I have been living with much fear and nervousness right now to try and make this happiness I have last and I would do anything to have it forever! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is very beautiful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tiersdin, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

You wouldn't happen to have a map, would you?

Noah & Margie, thank you for your kind comments. It is interesting to see how another understands my words. You have helped me look at it from two different perspectives other than my own.

Duncan, a map you say? *chuckles* If you can read hearts, then surely you'll find your way there...

*smiles*

A compassionate farewell, of sorts.
In a cave, with your back to the wall, does have its security, cold though it may be.
I like the way you've done this and finished it with so much said, and yet unsaid, in three words.

Christopher, I think that you have come quite close in your interpretation of my poem. I've read much of your work and I like the way you think. Your comments are appreciated, Thank you!

S Arthur Grey, I couldn't agree more. Thank you...

Sven, Some of us prefer to sit at the side of the pool and watch the crystal clear water. But, I, my friend, am a mermaid...
