 ~ Birthmark ~ All of a sailing night dusted cobwebs with an eerie-gray starry confetti A shoebox-size baby was born that eve in glistening nocturne sheen All thru the night of lambs it bleated to be set free Dreaming of being gingerly shawl-wrapped while its skin turned pallid to wooly pink All thru the night it bit at the chains a mothers resolve crumbling as music curved cloaking the room in lifeglow brocades Born soft-eyed like a doe divulging secrets with no-one but passing its dimpled birthmark legacy to everyone who believed ~ ~ ~ [This message has been edited by ShadowRider (04-04-2002 09:20 PM).] |

ThisDiamond shines with a sweet accolade that cannot be repaid by a mere thank you. My work pales in the light of your work, TD! Thankx so! Martie: that was sweet of you! Much obliged for the atta-boy! Not all birthmarks are visible ~wink~ some are mmmmmm...experienced Nancy: like a knock on the door from a beloved neighbor with a warm cup of coffee, i welcome your words. You were born 'kindhearted'. sigh Where is the belief in innocence anymore, and does it still leave a 'birthmark' on us? Thankx y'all! theShadowRider |

Jeff darling boy this is awesome, truly exceptional writing. So amazing that you convey such grace and style with a seemingly simple word or two. You have such an outstanding gift to write. You do know I really LOVE this don’t you? I thought you would pick up the subtle and delicate nuances of my rapture. This is sooooooooo typically you, the loving and always inspiring gift that is Jeff personified Fabulous writing darling heart utterly utterly fabulous  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy   To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Wow, I'm impressed! I was intrigued to read because I read the title 'birthmark' and I happen to have an "L" shaped one on my left temple....but anyways, I read and I loved this! You have a gift for using words in a subtle way and creating beautiful poetry. I'll be sure to stop around and read more of your stuff.  *Krista Knutson* |
