The Secret There is a secret that stands before my face It is as old as I and never moved its place. And I have searched the fringes of my mind And to myself, have really not been kind. I looked within the stars and looked within my dwell I looked within my heaven and looked within my hell For I thought the answer impossible to me And only come about, a time I would not be. It is invisible I must admit that much Although it is available to our very touch And is a subject endless and endless in discuss But stays within our life time and in our omnibus It is an angel’s arrow in hot pursuit of love It is a snow-white dove or touching velvet glove. It is a faith so strong that nothing can go wrong It is a soul that meets a soul and grows into a song. It is the poetry I write, the wind to make me sail It is the weight of love that balances the scale. |

It makes perfect sense to me What has often been said, That secrets can, be kept by three It two of the three are dead. Your poetry is better and better as time goes on....(just wait till ya get old like me and see what kind of poetry ya write!)....Can ya keep a secret?

It is invisible I must admit that much Although it is available to our very touch And is a subject endless and endless in discuss But stays within our life time and in our omnibus ===================================== It is the poetry I write, the wind to make me sail It is the weight of love that balances the scale. ==================================== I hope I can say this the way my mothy mind intend..... Part of what has always attracted me to your poetry is your vulnerable angst laced with a subtle sigh of regret for what you learned the hard way or the things you wish you could do again in hindsight..but then you always wrap the regret in your wisdom and lessons learned and your acceptance for what is just meant to be...change what you can...accept with class what you cant.... this write is a perfect example of that. We then learn from your grace... see how it all works out!!!  yeah....you balance our scales  *winkiewinkie*   |

She nailed it! Janet Marie I mean, you DO balance your own scales, and that is what I have been trying to figure out about you all this time, that is it! Not only in your poetry but your life. NOW I am really going to listen to you, as there may be hope for me yet LOL, who knows. This was one of my favorites, and I must read this one often. |

Sudhir, And a thank you too, a friend. Toe, Don't chase your youth and don't have a sweet tooth. And you will be fine. Sunshine, Only if you are in the middle with me. Enchantress, You have always been my favorite. JM, I hope I can say this the way I intend. You are a miracle of my alloted time. Lyra, Touching you is my pleasure. Sharon, If there is no hope for you than there is no hope for anyone. Noah, Thank you for the bravo. Krissy, That is the secret. |

Seymour darling heart and painter of wisdom’s beauty once more your writing is simply stunning. Your ability to paint the picture with words dipped in poet’s translucent thought is so beautifully displayed here. Always you uncover the thought, and shading it in the perfect hue you frame it and then hang it high for us all to see. In the who of you I see Wisdom that reflects what will be In life’s knowledge you’ve walked far And you know all of what you are Looking in the soul of this I’m reading the intended kiss The touch of truth that fills me With your hope and your poetry On your journey into sighs Lift my soul into your dream’s skies Let me listen to your soul Learn what it is that made you whole Touch the thought as it forms there Believe in trust and learn to share Truly superb writing, you know that daily your writing fills me with awe, always your writing is awesome, and this is utterly utterly perfect. I’ve been really busy the last few weeks but I try to pop in here to visit you, you are always worth the effort. Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Most of us have wisdom in some form or kind But we look back or ahead and somehow stay blind To what's right in our face, if we'd only see... Which is why we love Sy's superb poetry... For fine rhyme and soft cadence are only the start... Seymour gives lessons straight from the heart. *S* I know I've said it before... but I keep thinking I've surely read your best work... and then you slip another star into the lineup. *S* This is wonderful... and slipping into my library. *S* |

It is not your poems that touch me so It is not your wisdom that you show It is not the silly things you write It is but your heart, your soul, your guiding light.... Your gift is no secret SY...WE have known it all along.... |

Okay, it's my turn to proclaim IWIHWT!!!! I'm also gonna jump on the Sy bandwagon and say that this is an epopee! Sy, I can say without a question of a doubt, that this is by far your best poem. I always find such grace, introspection, truth and wisdom in your poetry. It's no secret, that you're one heck of a gifted poet  It's a keeper~ Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... it is a song that rises from a bleeding wound...or a smiling mouth" ~Kahlil Gibran~ [This message has been edited by Honeybee (08-21-2002 11:33 PM).] |
