They did hear the sound of lark Eyes did turn where long was dark A shade of movement in the night Then strike of flint was in the sight First a glow then a flame For once again it was the same Circle formed as sticks were laid Silence reign in the wooded glade It has been long in time, came hesitant word Since fire has flared and you were heard Only a smile broke line of face As more sticks were laid, with slow pace What is Time of which you speak For in the infinite you should seek Make not haste of this surround But count the grains of the very ground We are of all that we have been And will go once more with new begin For time is nothing but what we find And yet again, what is left behind Memories take you wherever you go And the days are fresh and never slow Time is only where you want to be From mountain top to rolling sea Now I leave you with a thought Waste not the times your mind has brought For the soul does wear many faces With footsteps leading to faraway places Forget the bad so to remember the good Seek the Time when you smell the wood But for now I will sleep For the way has been long, the rivers deep As they looked his eyes did close His mind did take where he had chose Somewhere in Time where he did belong As the lark did call in far off song |

We are of all that we have been And will go once more with new begin For time is nothing but what we find And yet again, what is left behind ========================== wish you could see the smile your rhymes divine put on me mothy face. How perfect and just is this write from you...defines all that you hold true and pass on to us in your wisdom and grace. You build the fire...the moths will come superb write of rite poet L... so cool to feel your breeze today. I refuse to accept that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism & war that the daybreak of peace can never be reality. |

Logan "Now I leave you with a thought Waste not the times your mind has brought For the soul does wear many faces With footsteps leading to faraway places" It is always good to see you here, my friend! |

"Time is only where you want to be From mountain top to rolling sea" Another one for me to keep, and re-read, from a mountain top or near the sea. |

"As they looked his eyes did close His mind did take where he had chose Somewhere in Time where he did belong As the lark did call in far off song" Yes dear Logan...Somewhere in Time... and this is where the lump came to my throat. You have been gone far too long..far too long. This is a treasure, for more reasons than I care to share here. ~soft smiles through misty eyes & tender hugs, Leighgirl~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Forget the bad so to remember the good Well said....an excellent sentiment and a worthy poem. To which I'd add, ...remember the bad, so to find the joy within the good..... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

Missing you, "that place", and your work. I hope things are going well with you. Any questions about who this is..just e-mail someone you watch over. Beautifully said. Love is patient, indeed. It endures the distance when it seems we cannot endure it ourselves. |
