O, but to touch the lofted heights upon the peak of new capped snow. To walk the glade of forest green, to share, to love another so. To hear the whispered word of song, to dance the morning into night. To trace a fountain’s shining stream against the shimmer of day’s light. To grasp the grape on winding stem and kiss the dew of dawn away. Or touch the warmth of silken brow in hopes that new found love will stay. To take the hand, the given gift in offering at a rainbow’s end. Or find the treasured golden goose as winds cause the willows to bend. To touch the stars in heaven’s bed or swing from a cold comet’s tail. As Leo roars the lion’s cry along the constellation’s trail. To dream.....and smell the freshness of a rose.. In your hair...

Barry, this is so beautiful. I love the whole poem, but this part really caught me..... To hear the whispered word of song, to dance the morning into night. To trace a fountain’s shining stream against the shimmer of day’s light. That is breath-takingly beautiful to me.  Good to see you here, too.  Hugs, Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (04-27-2003 10:54 PM).] |

You've captured the rose so beautifully. This is now my favourite of yours and I'm saving it in my library Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

Most delightful imagery here and all enchantingly connected to something so simple as the smell of the freshness of the rose. Stunning poetry. -Bob |

To touch the stars in heaven’s bed or swing from a cold comet’s tail. As Leo roars the lion’s cry along the constellation’s trail. Absolutely love these lines, a resounding "oomph" to a marvelous write! (I`m also a sucker for your classic sense of romance)  |
