Times Shuttle Time has shook my hand indeed Along with other earthly seed And left me wrapped in fragile skin Without, as well as within And now the mirror shows a ghost An almost lifeless withered host With just a moment left of strife With ne’er a hint of afterlife. It shows the change of timely sup A worn and weathered buttercup A seed that saw the light of day That lived its day and played its play. But I think it’s for the best All in time must live and rest And give its moments life to change That now I think is not so strange. How can a better seed be made? If all in life remain the glade How can the change for good appear? With out the change of all that’s dear. We’re the beginning and the end May God have mercy on each vend. |

Time has shook my hand indeed Along with other earthly seed And left me wrapped in fragile skin Without, as well as within =============================== the frailty of this poem touches me... the wisdom of it warms me... you've planted so many seeds of poetry here...your garden is a vast meadow of life's lessons wrapped in tender rhymes. Your words will bloom over and over again, the truth and wisdom will reseed and time will be the wind that scatters them ... and we who have been lucky enough to walk your garden path...will continue to grow in your light. Thank you for that Stinkylove  And Sy-babes? Buttercups & Daffodils are perennials... they come back every year on their own    me |

JM, You have the patience of a moth with the beauty of a butterfly. That's one hell of a combination. So I tip my cup of raspberry tea and saddle Randy to go and see if I can find this aphroodite of my mind. Winkiewinkie Randy Stinky Enchantress, Good morning my buttercup I wish you the happiest of mornings. |

Your just a little more mature that's all. Some nice philosophy entwined in the reflections of this piece. Sage writing! You'll be doing this for years maybe even forever! Good write! |

Seymour darling boy, this is utterly utterly wonderful writing, and for some reason the lines running through my head are To me, fair Friend, you never can be old, For as you were when first your eye I eyed Such seems your beauty still. William Shakespeare And it’s true you know, you don’t seem a day older than the first time you entranced me with your writing. You still have the power to reach into my soul and run your hands lightly over my feelings. Stirring and breathing life into the places that few others have touched. You know I utterly utterly love this piece of your special wisdom. Thank you again for this pearl of wisdom that has dropped into my still waters and sent ripples of Ohhhhh across the surface of my soul. I’m sorry I wasn’t here this morning to fill my soul with you, I had other less interesting things I needed to do. I had some roses to plant, along with lavender and my hanging baskets and flower bags. Am I forgiven for being late? As always Mushy   Breathe through the heat of our desire |

You know I think JM put it as eloquently as I have ever heard any compliment to a poet, QUOTE JANET MARIE: [This message has been edited by Mysteria (05-26-2002 08:08 PM).] |

Seymour again this is exquisite writing you shade the seasons of your life so well. Truly superb writing IWIHWT, but since I didn’t and wouldn’t have the skill to do so I’ll keep yours to read when I need to see what real writing is all about. You know mum is right here YOU could never be old, your mind is far too alive for age to ever dim your spirit. But at my back I always hear Time’s winged chariot hurrying near And yonder all before us lie Deserts of vast eternity………. And tear our pleasures with rough strife Through the iron gates of life Thus, though we cannot make our sun Stand still. Yet we make him run Andrew Marvell (1621-1678) Your writing spans time and space your soul is still very much in the race. I really do love this poem from you, but I still say YOU are NOT old  Love and warm stuff As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |
