Far beyond the blue of eye, beyond the cloud laden sky. Into the twilight of crescent. The scent of home wafting the pines and hills. Where robins nest and doves coo. Where eagles fly the blue of day. Where waters flow against a duned shore of crystal sand...where deer and antelope play... Where is home to a traveling soul? When love is left the corner behind in smiling tears of quivering lip goodbyes and longing farewells. And next time is but tomorrow's dream... Where brave hearts paint the crimson hue upon the steps of life's trials... Rest the wearied soul upon the meadow green. Sip the nectar of life’s breeze. Dine the heaven’s fare. Dream... First star till morning.. Hear the Loon? |

thank you - I needed this Where brave hearts paint the crimson hue upon the steps of life's trials... Rest the wearied soul upon the meadow green. Sip the nectar of life’s breeze. Dine the heaven’s fare. Dream... as I go to seek this dream of solace . . . all that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream . . . |

 (sigh) The soil is all too familiar, yet no one constantly is watering and sowing the wild oats to this inevitable blessing that can be tapping at ones shoulders unexpectedly! (big hugggsssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is a very motivating write, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

Nice to meet you, Barry. This was the first poem I read in this forum. It pulled me in, spirit first. I felt my body and mind relax as all of my senses became involved in the peaceful scene you created here. Melissa |
