… and she comes as one in loss words skipping like a brain in synapse d distress so close and yet so far she is distressed, and I assure her, wait not for widowing if she should only wear her words, only wear her words, she would be clothed in eternity… |

An interesting thought, though more dour that that work you do to which I have become accustomed. Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

An interesting thought, Lady In White... Before my first husband's death, 3 yrs ago...I hadn't written in years. After he died, all of these new poetic thoughts came into my mind and I just knew that he wanted me to start writing again... and here I am!!!!!! There appears to be a relaionship between widowhood and poetry.....unfortunately. BTW...I really enjoyed your poem.  ~ chipmunk hugsLyra |

I’m afraid I don’t understand this, jellybeans? Is this a nickname for someone, or another poet here? But I do like the last part, words are clothing. P. |

the title drew me in as I'd just finished lunch, sounded like a sweet treat for finishing of course, you, like the doctor are trying to keep me away from too much sugar I enjoyed the read, very much, nevertheless. I too like the thought of being clothed in words. We really are clothed by that which we speak, aren't we. Sheesh! I went out to read more and saw jellybeans' poem about widowhood. Now I understand the title, at least. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, I'll seek the lighthouse evermore. [This message has been edited by VAS (08-05-2002 03:42 PM).] |

  (big hugggssssss) This is such a heartfelt dedication, sweet friend, my heart goes out to her too but I know soon she will find all the words she desires and as always she will continue to write with a smile on her face! (sigh) This is powerful, 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 have been between 'out' and 'swamped' all week..and if it hadn't been for an angel who sent me a link I wouldn't have had time to find this... lady...this is so sweet...I am without words...uh oh...does that mean I am unclothed...*smile*...this spawns so many thoughts...now to attempt to put them into words...no wonder we feel 'naked' when our muse grows silent... this is beautiful...thank you so much a poet could not ask for more than to be clothed in eternity...thank you again |

This is so special to me... for I love both the one thinking and the one thought of. *S* And to think... she truly doesn't realize how powerful her pen is... or how permanent its impact. *S* Beautiful work, Lady! |
