Here is where the road will end: At nights I have waited with the wall shadows Watching light slip, sink among trees weaving through fog settling slowly into the sifts of earth When the world is quiet I hear you bending tones among angels where all words of hope lie A sanctuary: lips meeting faith kneeling among Broken stones, forming prayers of peace, in hands tightly clamped together Shoulders, shrouded in veils of white laced in forms of fragile breaths inhaling the rain, exhaling darkness lifting the spirit of doves I have lived inside the vision uncoiling all threads that held the white satin dress Releasing emotions with soft reminders of how life is, how it can be-- life, has a new meaning The sky will open spilling sunrise and sunsets upon the dew of brilliant grass and winding rivers, no longer my lost soul among the flowers Here is where the path will start it may have a few bumps along the way but it leads to the journey home once again my heart anew beginnings of a brand new day Its been a long road |

Lauren, the way you weave your words, the spacing of them lending thought between the tight places I can envision you at your desk penning all of these in lovely longhand before typing them out... you are lovely, as is your poetry... bless you... |

I needed to feel these things and be reminded.  [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (06-12-2002 11:29 PM).] |

Releasing emotions with soft reminders of how life is, how it can be-- life, has a new meaning The sky will open spilling sunrise and sunsets upon the dew of brilliant grass and winding rivers, Beautiful verse Lauren. Touching write from your oh so eloquent heart pen. May the bumps in your journey be few dear girl. Hugs. I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance~~(Garth) |

I've always known that you hear that voice as well. . . and now, I have proof. . . reading this, it's just like hearing you read it out loud. . . with all the spaces and gentleness that leap from the page. . . it's amazing. . .and makes me want to read more. . . ------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

"Here is where the path will start it may have a few bumps along the way but it leads to the journey home once again my heart anew beginnings of a brand new day" (smiles) Ooohhhhhhh...I just love your style of writing, sweet friend, and I know your journey ahead will be filled with may smiles and dreams come true and you indeed may encounter potholes but none can ever take your carriage down! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lauren, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

"A sanctuary: lips meeting faith kneeling among Broken stones, forming prayers of peace, in hands tightly clamped together" I love the metaphorical spirit of these lines........Defintely from the land of silence and tranquility! Exceptional writing the entire piece! |

Taking the road that ends and letting it lead you to the road that begins will always put you on the right path. Excellent write and very good use of metaphors and verbage. I enjoyed much as I always have your works. |
