~ By Sue ~ The stars were clear to see, when I lived out in the country But not here in the city, they seem to hide from me Now, I step outside my door, I do not see them anymore All the things I did adore, are not there like before Then there are my feathered friends, I left back there on that land My llama had eaten from my hand, she had become my friend It doesn't seem fair I had to leave, all the things I had recieved I hung on to my belief, that I could take them all with me Now I sit here in my house, after moving further south About them I know nothing about, I had to leave them with my spouse Who will be there to give them food, he doesn't care the way I do Even though I have a life brand new, happy days are so few The country I had learned to love, I could see the stars above Now life seems to be too rough, but it will just make me tough 1-29-03 |

I guess it has to make you tough, but the missing just aches in this. More power to you for going with your heart. I enjoyed your poem very much Sue! |

I can hear the longing clear as a bell. The stars may be dimmer from missing you too. Nicely expressed~ Tari  |

Where did you move? I lived in a small town most of my life and although there were beautiful nights there...i still like the city. Of course I can be out of it in about 5 minutes ....and see everything I need to see. I do kind of miss the animals though *S* Enjoyed your write ~Salty In the Midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you. |

 (big hugggsssssssss) Oh Sue, I understand just how you feel, sweet friend, I don't like the city that much and wish to live where the stars are bright as I love spending time in the country! (kiss on cheek) This is right at home, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
