We aspired,
to build a bridge
across the waters
holding out the hand
of friendship
to those who had
touched our hearts.
Perhaps we had aimed too high
we did not know
yet we launched the cry
into the wilderness
waiting for the
answering echo
of sibling minds

Across the waters came the response
we will come!
We will come!
and they did
in all their shapes
and sizes
bringing their dreams and hopes
to mingle with ours
to raise the voice of poetry
in sound and echo
that resounded around the world

The echoes fade soft in the autumn air
yet the bricks of friendship
cemented by this time together
will last forever

We aspired and in aspiring
we soared to the stars
and found a link of hands that
made the waters
redundant
and built a bridge,
that will stand forever and
never be broken.

We aspired and we aspire still,
that the flame will be carried
from generation to generation
across the bridge of time.


Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

From aspirations come reality.  This is what keeps the stars in the sky.

Thank you.

This is wonderful writing, Kethry. Yes, we aspired and we brought those aspirations to reality. Now, when I see your words on the screen, I'll see the big smile you always wear on your face, hear the written words in your voice, and watch your hands create the lines on the screen. There is no price on that...thank you, and all the rest, for being there.

Kethry~ you are one voice that I am sure speaks for  many.  I am so happy that you all came together and joined hands, and simply made it happen.  You inspire the best of the best in poetic writing and share the gathering of friendship all around.

Keth, you were the caretaker of our needs.
It was a real pleasure to have met you dearest lady.

I'm home after a tiresome trip, it feels strange not to be in Florida anymore, time passed too quickly.

Love to you and all others
This is some poem you wrote lady!!!

OhKethry~

yet the bricks of friendship
cemented by this time together
will last forever'


If no other words were written from this gathering ...
your words say it all~

You already 'know' how this would have touched me ...
YES ... these tears easily flow ...
and they are tears-of-joy at having met YOU dearest friend~

Bill and I think it would just be a splendid idea for you to come again and stay LONGER (shy little critter that you are) LOL !

This write is so lovely ... expressing thoughts that we all maintain ... but perhaps could not pen so beautifully~

Dearest Lady ... you are sooooooooooooo loved AND sooooooooooooooo lovely~
