She glides gracefully, silently through peaceful placid waters cloaked in her finest ebony and ivory cape. Her ruby red eyes cannot disguise she is searching for her soulmate. Then hiding in anticipation, she deftly guides her lover's heart to where she waits patiently behind windswept whispering reeds, watching in sheer ecstasy as he dances and trills, flipping love notes in the air in perfect harmony. In a rhapsody of love so true he captures her heart, forevermore. And when death doth this pair separate, the surviving mate cries alone, from all others does stay apart, nevermore to seek another's heart. For that is the way of the loon, the truth revealed soulfully within that mournful tune heard in the mist of night. this is a re-write from 2001, open forum 16 [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (04-28-2003 08:58 PM).] |

The title caught me and I had to read this. Being from Alaska the Loon has always been one of my favorite birds....And yes their song is beautiful..... What a lovely tribute to such a beautiful bird!!!! Bridgette "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again. To hold someone, not for a moment but forever."

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Kacy, this is sad but beautiful, sweet friend, this reminded me of Celine Dion and "My Heart Will Go On" and how I truly believe even when a lover dies away and leaves one alone, the love is always the wind beneath the birds wings that keeps one afloat! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

Yes Kacy you gave the loon a certain magic alright and beautifully written as well. Now,if you could just come here and find this darn woodpecker on my tin chimney at 5:30 in the morning a mate, I would be forever in your debt.

LOL, Sharon, just stop feeding him so well. Are you sure you haven't spoiled him so he thinks YOU are his soulmate? Remember that fish? |
