Silver Threads Once upon a midnights bed I watched the brightest moonlight thread. Weave across my blankets pour A silver thread in search of more It crept across the bumps and dips Caught me at my finger tips And when it touched it felt like jell And I was caught in moonlights spell It willowed me as if in dream And out the window I did stream A finite on the meadows ground With twilight magic dancing round Where shadows swayed in weightless Vail And silver leaves on wind set sail It damp my pillow wet with leak. As tears of brine flowed down my cheek And butterflies flew round my head Till I did join this joy in wed |

Youve penned a masterpice to print out and put with the picture above....its one of my most fave pics I found on the internet...its also my screen saver and I have a poster of it..now I have a poem to put with it that matches its wonderlust. *winkiewinkie* mothyme "It's not about having what you want ... |

Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Seymour darling boy, you are an enchanter of the moonbeams trace, and keeper of the nights magic this is utterly perfect the simplicity the elegance and the grace this is written with is perfectly delicious, and I love it utterly but you knew that didn’t you. Wonderful writing as always. This has lines that are spun with dreams light into a cloth of wonder, it lays over the soul like a gown of delight. A wonderful truly exceptional piece of writing. Yes I love it, I love it utterly utterly. Didn’t you like the little poem I scribbled for you? I thought it might flutter you into nights delight, I suppose I’ll just have to see if I can spin another but I haven’t got your skill darling boy But at least I tried to do you justice love. Your writing however is perfect and this is utterly utterly elegant and spun light Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Seymour darling boy now who flatters whom, calling me Marge is flattery indeed. If I could write like her I would be in heaven. However that’s not going to happen so I’ll continue to read you and her and hope I acquire some skill by a form of osmosis. I really did love this one Seymour darling boy it is special Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Seymour hi there, don’t worry about calling mum Margie she would have been honoured. Flattery indeed, mum can’t write even half so well This is wonderful writing, I love the words in this they are excellent. Sorry I’ve not been in here for a little while I’ve had some very odd shift times. However I’ve had mum print out your daily delights and so I have had your wonderful work to hand. It’s good for mum to work so don’t feel sorry for her she and Krissy should suffer a little They after all are off to the U.S. those of us who are the workers have to stay behind. I hope you all have a great time, and that you miss me terribly. Emma Eternity, stands laughing at old time |

Oh my! I do believe this one is now my absolute favorite, but it also reminded me of a friend of mine for some reason, so it became extra special. As a matter of fact it not only reminded me of Willow but also you and Isabel, so I will send a big hug your way for this lovely poem. There is nothing means more to me than |
