For my friend Chrissie.

I'm out of touch and out of time
In a world that moves too fast
No way to reach or make you mine
No way to make this passion last

A period piece that doesn't fit
A step behind is what I am
My pace too slow to match my wit
I'm out of hope and out of plan

I'm out of mind and out of heart
The black of night holds to me still
No way to learn no way to start
No way to rise above the hill

A misfit child with two left feet
No way to learn the dance of care
I'm out of touch and out of heat
My sight shut down to trove of share

I'm out of space and out of strength
No heart to finish what's begun
No will to run the fullest length
No soul to see the shining sun

I'm out of touch and out of reach
Too small too late is what I give
No way to learn or even teach
Yet day by day I breathe to live

See me cry and see me bleed
As out of time I reach for you
Don't let me to dark concede
Your holding on can see me through

Don't let me just fade away
Keep me here and make me real
wrap me tight through this dark day
If you hold on I'll live and feel

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown

How often I have felt like this
a cheek bereft of blow of kiss
a hand alone without a shake
an earth without a feel of quake

but when I sit down to write
about this feeling, late at night
a gentle presence makes it known
that I am surely not alone

and then the words turn to wine
and in flow of every line
I find a reason to give cheer
by wishing well to all my dears...

Kethry...how often you've touched me...how many times I hope I've touched you in kind...this is very good and portrays the need of a person so very well...thank you!

Ah Kethry ... it feels as if you've reached into my mind today. A wonderfully emotive piece, very much enjoyed the depth within.

Best wishes,

Keth darling sister of heart and keeper of dreams truth, you know exactly what I’m going to say about this it’s spectacular. TRULY PERFECTION, your friend Chrissie will be delighted. I love it love it love it there’s too many perfect lines to chose just one, but I especially love those last four verses they are amazingly good

Take my hand and walk with me
Through time’s incandescent sea
We’ll walk together side by side
No need for you to ever hide

Hold fast to faith I’ll anchor you
In the seas of lies a ship of true
Don’t hesitate to reach out
I’ll always hear your shout

The hands of time will pass us by
Together we’ll walk you and I
Storm tossed in truth well maybe
Still you are a part of me

In time and out of it here we are
United whether near or far
In spite of lies always true
I’ll be there for you

Marsha

As always darling heart I wub you

Love and warm stuff
As always

not really wanting to be flippant, but in the beginning of this I'm thinking, "Better not go to the Olympics" then you hit the last portion and it got really powerful, bringing all the emotion all together in one great punch of yearning and pain. Well done!!!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,

I've felt this way from time to time, but could never begin to pen these feelings as eloquently as you just have. This is a keeper!

Kethp my favourite aunt I wub you Kethp Mum’s trying to bribe me with hot chocolate to get off here and I will after I’ve replied to this but I’ll be back. I’m not going home yet.

This is such a haunting and beautifully written piece. It is of course nothing less than I would expect from someone who walks with beauty and converses with grace. No I don’t mean my mum, she’s not grace that’s the most inappropriate name Minnie, my nickname for my Nana, could have chosen You are a very very good writer

I wub you Kethp Big grin
