The Searcher Smiles, winks A hint of touch A hint.. Just a hint Diversions … Detours… Detours… But always, the race. The dawn… Too often Too often My exit, too often the dawn. You.. Love Her… them, Sweet… so sweet Now, now … gone. Focus, blurred Moment’s… just moments Swift, so swift… Brightness, just fades… And love? sought… not found For this… for I The searcher Tireless… and bound.

There is Light and Flight at the end of the tunnel. We're just not sure where that end is... The Searcher must forge on to find it.... ~Sheri "The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those who got there first" [This message has been edited by Irie (07-08-2002 04:36 PM).] |

Parker, I like this! A hint of question behind each word, a repeat, rethink, of something just within one's grasp, only to find the fog... I like this Very Much! |

Diversions Detours Detours But always, the race. The dawn To often To often My exit, too often the dawn. ============================= And love? sought not found For this for I The searcher Tireless and bound. ============================= Still searching.... what? you lost the map to the arch?  P-man the longing and sincerety of this is as lovely as the phrasing and the creative poetic form... This is a bittersweet beauty. So good to see thy muse returns ... So...know any new detours  would pedestals fall under the idea of diversions? LOL Now for me some words come easy |

Its good to see your work here again. Enjoyed this because it seemed to grasp in desperation. Hope I didn't read it wrong. I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement. |

Sheri, thank you... I shall always forge on. Sunshine, thanks it always seems to just be beyond that grasp. But I do love to grasp. Janet, yes whenever I get lost I just look for a big landmark of some arch. What a detour it may be. Temptress, thank you... my muse has been quiet for too long.. I guess its just looking for that first Kiss again. the_loner_23, thank you for responding. Seymour, not sure what your meaning. But I hope I'm not dropping any unwanted presents. Noah, as always thank you. devina, thank you... i'll have to peek in on you and see what wenching activities your up to. All bad no doubt. Parker |

Hi Parker...so good to see you! You know this felt so full of movement that I wanted to tell you to stop...let love find you. I understand the search though, you wrote it well. |

As long as you are bound to that search then you will find it's rewards when the time is right. Very beautiful illustration of the longing in this creation of yours. Your format was very much enjoyed and the way you structured it to read as a self pondering was a treat divine. Excellent to read you again. btw ... (Don't let the glare of sun from the arch lead you down any paths filled with "BUG LIGHTS!) LOL |

Each line of this piece reflects well the longing and sense that there is someone out there just made for you. Those with the sincerest of hearts will always find what they're looking for ... the search is one of the hardest things, but the end reward is definitely worth the wait. Thanks for sharing this one. ~What is cherished most is what must be the hardest fought for.~ |

parker..this is different..for you.. i like it.. ----------------------------------- search... seek well today... for some tomorrow holds a promise of reward... what reward remains to be seen... what is it you seek-- exactly? dont expect it; that what you seek will come in a package you'll not be looking for... your rewards will be a surprise... open your mind--stay focused but leave your pictures at bay... desire for love with flaws (for even love has flaws) and you may find your true perfection.... -dgv dunno..just an impromptu...lol love is around the corner my friend...it always is..just waiting for the right moment to touch you... lv,g "dont cry because its over, smile because it happened...!" -unknown [This message has been edited by dgvarner (09-23-2002 01:25 AM).] |

thank you sweets.. I stole that style from you. I love your response poem.... I don't want to wait anymore I might miss someone "they say love comes to those who wait... ometimes love goes from those who hesitate..." a very smart poet wrote that. Parker |
