Light of the sun (For Karilea) Your voice has not touched me your eyes are far away in the green but I hear you from a distance bright as a lamp sharp as a point in silent tongue you reach me you awaken my eyes drowsy with dream and I watch you build castles with words like sticks and stones unblinking you are endless and gather me wide-eyed and blanketed I curl into the ease of your summer into the sunned fabric of your warmth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you Karilea for being you for being unbelievably and remarkably you. Maree |

Martie, Seymour, Cpat, Earth Angel, Wranx, and Ethel...... Thank you for stopping by, for your lovely replies and comments and especially for helping me celebrate our Precious Sunshine... Karilea. this line "build castles with words like sticks and stones" was given to me by Karilea in a conversation which I somehow got wrong. It should have been I think..."Build a castle with words from sticks and stones." Is that correct Karilea? Anyway credit goes to Karilea Thanks Sunshinygirl. Karilea...no words are needed m'friend. Hugs and love. [This message has been edited by Dark Angel (06-10-2003 05:59 PM).] |

I think we were talking about sticks and stones, how we were riddled with the normal teenage problems of kids and meanness, that sort of thing...and I think we decided that we had gone ahead and built castles with those sticks and stones we had received from childhood. Then I told you, now, there's a line you could use in a poem... and voila. You did! I'm STILL grinning... |

A beautiful poem, Maree...why doesn't that surprise me? We've all been blessed by the radiance of the Sun and you describe it better than most can... |

Darn, I thought I could keep her all to myself. What a selfish poet I am. Beautiful thoughts about beautiful lady! Patricia |

Maree, It is equally "sunny" here! An awesome tribute indeed. Well done. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

(kiss on cheek) Yay, I just love this, sweet friend, you both are special, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Maree, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |
