SEA! How wonderful that you did this for our Moth Queen! For our new members, I hope that they take advantage of our Smart Search and go through the archives to see just what this Queen of the Moths can do, and how she sets the candles to burning...singing wings all the way! Congratulations, Janet Marie, on your very swift three years here! Here's to 30 more! |

Susan, now I know that this means much to her and I thank you for those wonderful words to my bestest buddy. You are a dear one. Janet .... Garden of My Heart No longer is there a thorn ... in the garden of my heart No longer is there drought... forming a layer of crust No longer are there weeds... smothering my love's desire For within your friendship... I have found the promising trust Your sweetness and tenderness have pruned with such care Your gentle caring and nurturing cried an abundance of life-giving tears Your laughter and your smiles disposing of all my broken dreams Through your loving sincerity I have released all my fears Forever there will always be gentle breezes of kisses for you Forever there will always be perfumes of memories lofted in the air Forever there will always be new blossoms of love waiting for you As we tend to the garden of our hearts in this love we will forever share Mark Bohannan Well this seems to be the perfect time to remind you of this simple fact. Since the time I have been here in passions, you have become the best friend anyone could hope to ever have. Since the time of this piece being written, you and I have covered more ground than some do in a lifetime and I want to say thank you for every second. It seems fitting that this piece remind me our first real visit together being the fact that the botanical gardens of St. Louis will never be the same again Of course no garden would be complete without a butterfly or two and not discounting the butterfly house but, I think you far outway the beauty that any of them could ever hope to have on their wings. I have watched you grow in poetry, in life, as a person, and more so as a trusted and cherished friend and I have witnessed you turning in your moth wings for those lovely butterfly wings you now adorn. Funny how each step you take in life brings more color to them and yours my dearest friend get brighter every day. Now of course we couldn't forget that beach either now could we? Would you believe that I have not seen a Monarch on the beach since you left? Hmmmmmmmm, wonder why that is rofl? (shhhh....must be that Aquarian thing ... ya think?) Well check your mail box later my dearest butterfly as there is yet more snow on those beaches we walked together and it seems fitting that a blanket of purity be on them today as there is no better way to celebrate the wonderful things you have added to my life. You know I love you my friend.....from the depths of my heart and soul......you have seem it all and taken the time to know me better than I imagined letting anyone get to know me. Now don't give away those secrets in the book okay? You wanted something and you keep asking so here is a little taste for you .... hope it satisfies for now. I awoke to the whisperings of midnight stretchings only to find that those shimmerings we call stars are flecks of silver adorning her celestrial strands ... On this night she must be brushing her curls in anticipation as I now stand ~here~ in the midst of silver showers refecting off the glimmerings of Luna's light as each fleck of silver winks at me as they cascade around these sands that so warmly embrace the footprints you and I gifted to the curls of Neptune. Anticipation in the pending moments yet to be spent as these shores moan softly from your absence and the reflections you alone cast across the ripples of these waters. Each wave carrys your name and every breeze kissing these beaches still holds the perfume of your smile. I close my eyes and I feel your essence, your heart, and your soul deep within these chambered songs I carry with me. Each lyric one of growth and quiet comfort and each one written to a tune of etheral friendships left to be nurtured at the hands of "His" loving grace.

Susan, Awesome! How totally sweet of you to do this for JM and to remind the rest of us to participate in this wonderful event. JanetMarie, You have blessed my life in such a deep way. Rich are the gifts you offer and precious are they to my heart. Always will I love and respect who you are and how much you have come to mean to me. Don't ever go away, okay? If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Well needless to say the moth is in tears... or as Dunc says..."soggy moth" *L* You guys make me mothy heart smile and humble me, truly. It seems too much to be thanked for loving to read your poetry...and its I who am grateful for the inspiration and generousity of spirit that we share here each day. When I found this place, I was so lost and lonely and the poetry and the bonds that grew out of our sharing has been such a healing factor in my life. We get to know each other thru our words without judgement based on what we look like, or our status. I am better for having been touched by all of you. Thank you seems to little to say for that gift. Mark, the words thank you will not begin to touch what my heart feels at this moment...if tears count for anything...you're a rich man right now. And because you know me so well, you already know what your words of friendship and the poems mean to me. "Garden" has been engraved on my heart since Open 9 when you gifted it to me. Since then what we have built across time and distance has become so much a part of me that I cant ever imagine not having you in my life. Who knew 3 years ago that a promise kept between 2 friends would change the way I look at everything. Thank you for the new poem...I am beyond words for how the beauty of yours touched me. I have missed reading your magical poetry almost as much as I miss spending time with you and the ocean. Thank you MC ... you just met me halfway and took it to a new level.. yeah...must be that Aquarian thing. I love you my friend...beyond words and poetry. Thank you for being a moths best friend.  I was reborn on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay |
