From my archives, one I wrote in 1999 that rings so true today, though at the time it was written, was merely a dream...  The glory of love is to set us free Its warm light shines from Crystal sea. It is comfort given in soft and gentle breezes The power of love sets free, unfreezes Soon hearts melt, spring bursts forth Within the heart that once knew no worth Caterpillars emerge as beautiful butterflies As true love spreads it wings towards the skies No longer in silent darkness, damp and cold But into glorious light, where love reigns bold The glory of my love is to set you free To warm your soul it emanates from me Melting your heart with comforting breezes It's power to defeat the gloom that freezes. In radiant splendor spring bursts forth Enrapturing our hearts that once felt no worth Miracles fluttering together as butterflies Love's faith (flight) soaring aloft beyond blue skies Away from the darkness of cocooned cold Up into the shining light where love reigns bold. Together now, to sing, dance, and laugh at last Forgetting all that lay behind, the heartache of the past. Together now, to share, explore, and discover A whole new world of happily ever after Two lost souls once frayed and abandoned Found each other and in true friendship bonded Two lost, lonely souls as colliding shooting stars Now cosmically linked--forever is eternally ours! |

Dulcie my dear friend oh my this is utterly utterly wonderful, your pen is perfectly poetical. I love I love it utterly utterly And this is so spectacular, gently softly reverential. The questing thought of love is exquisitely written darling heart, absolutely exquisite. Sometimes you drop pearls of wisdom into quiet pools of wonder, and the ripples across that silent pool of thought reach out to another soul, this is such a time. Utterly breathtakingly perfect. Thank you for this beauteous gift You know I love this don’t you? Of course you do. Absolutely perfect writing   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

 YAY!!! Awwwwwwww, I love this, sweet friend, we are all caterpillars and may we metaphorosize happily into butterflies in love and rise to the springs in our hearts with a symphony of joy to last forever! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I can't get enough of this wonderful poem! It just makes me want to write beautiful poetry even more, you have inspired me! Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky. |

I really liked the way you paralleled your first two stanzas and then tied it off at the end. Well done. Nan |

Absolutely beautiful, Dulcinea. Sometimes dreams do come true. My favorite: "The power of love sets free, unfreezes Soon hearts melt, spring bursts forth" YES! |
