The Borrowing of a Muse How easily they slip from us Unguarded moments escape But that can be said of more Than a tear... ~*~ See the child linger in Thought alone Was her wedding dress So white? Was his smile ever So broad? Did they sleep well In their night? When was I Last the child? When did a touch Last leave a quake? When were words Of love Said simply for Their own sake? When did you last Seek smiles Upon the plain of a Stranger’s face? Or sip tea with Friends, Or give back to Him With grace? ~*~ How easily they slip from us Unguarded moments escape But that can be said of more Than a tear... {words on loan from Sunshine's muse} |

Elan This had such a fragile might like walking barefoot in the night I wonder if Sun would let me borrow her muse? |

Martie... The four lines are the words to use the rest shall meld with thine own muse seek thee shelter beneath her wing that we might hear thine own voice sing Sun...shares very well [This message has been edited by Elan (05-09-2002 10:22 AM).] |

Oh boy...that worked, almost like a tune-up, when did words last leave a quake? Good question for my muse to ponder, but so far, she is having a hard time even remembering back that far  Good one, and this should inspire many, if it inspired me!We should spend less time on worrying when our life is going to end and more on when it's going to start! |

Now, this is true poetry! Perhaps I need to borrow your muse?!, this is just so softly inspiring. |
