'Twas But A Whisper ~*Marge Tindal*~ 'Twas but a whisper this death after life Silence lends no voice to breath in deny~ Life's challenge thus met laid down with a sigh 'Twas but a whisper of soft-said goodbye~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge... This is another masterpiece from you. When reading the second stanza I could picture a wise old person bidding their final farewell in a whisper to loved one's after having achieved all their goals in life, happy and content to pass on to the final resting place on the other side of the river of life...

Marge ~~ This touched my heart and soul with a whisper of love from you. This is how death should be spoken; soft and gently as we pass to another place and time. Just magnificent...Hugs, Marti |

*Friends~ I know not from where it came nor to whom it is meant to wing~ That it touched each of you with feeling, tells me that it was meant to be here~ ... the woods gave up another whisper~ Thank you all~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

it may have been a whisper this breath of last goodbye but I'm sure the angels heard it with wing tips lifted high it may have been a whisper the final calling out but for all the power this held it could have been a shout. Achingly beautiful Marge. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

PoetFriends~ Again I take pause to thank you all~ Kethry~ That may be the most beautiful poetic reply I've ever received~ You know ... you zeroed in on a thought that has hovered with me all day ..... life shouts us ... and we are blessed with the spotlight Then death takes us quietly backstage for the final curtain call~ What you wrote is just beautiful~ And I so graciously thank you, my friend~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

BettyLou~ Thank you for letting me know~ I'm off to the Pub to take a little read of some of the work there~ I'm so far behind .... due to still doing the therapy thing on my injury and have a new battery of doctors and hopefully 'relief' measures to contend with next week~ Keep me in your prayers~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ *Hugs* ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Margie darling heart sister YOU really do write the most captivatingly beautiful whispers of heart. This is I think so peaceful so soothing, we know that life clamours in our ears, and to feel the peace of OUR LORD descend in the quite moment of our passing must be so beautiful. This absolutely perfect poem simply passes that beauty to those who are left behind, when it comes to our time, we may be ready and we may not, but I believe that once we pass into his hands we discover that is where we were always meant to be. Rather like coming home. Only HE knows when that time should be, and we should, I believe, squeeze every drop of living out of the time we are blessed with, neither hurry to meet our time nor try to hold it back, but live to the full, and then cede to HIS will. Truly exquisite writing darling heart there is within your soul so much beauty and so much life that I shouldn’t be surprised at how it spills out to grace the pages with it’s wisdom. But somehow I always am, because it exceeds my expectations always. Truly wonderful writing. And yes darling heart again I’ve done it my reply is longer than the poem, but as always I had nothing to say and have now said it  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |
