Now where are you, my littlest one, When your mind is frail spent and weary? Where are you, with your braided thoughts, When your eyes are brim full, and teary? In my own mind I am already there Held in sharing of beautiful moments Sitting by the lake, words written with care, Of times given, with a special friend spent. For this is the spot, the poet's spot Where our grown feelings and hearts collide... This is the place, very special place Where our poetic thoughts may abide... Joined within the spirit of friendship’s hold Poetic dreams flowing in written word Intent, we listen to the stories told, Mesmerizing lilt by sounds of life...heard. So this is where we now bind our hearts To grow in love and these common bonds For this is where lovely friendships start by blue water's edge, and a lily's pond For within my heart, I am ready, there Where water sparkles and dreams do come true In poetically treasured moments In my heart, my friend, I am there...with you... So here we are, my littlest one Tears now abate by deep water's edge Under the sultry summer’s singing sun Words of wisdom are now firmly wedged Between the air and sky and lovely dreams Where we gather to watch the stars come play I shall gaze on you as you walk moon's beam And we shall duet again, another day... |

So very very lovely a duet from two of Passion's finest lady poets. A bit of a melancholy lilt to it..yet oh so tender. ~Holding you both so very close in my heart~ ~The breeze that kissed you on the face, |

So glad to see you writing again Donna. You ladies two do each other a lovely poetic justice in this sharing of rhymes. Its been a million years since I touched you |

I was so pleased to hear Donna wanted to attempt a duet after so many weeks of recuperation time. I told her that things had to start getting better now that she was penning her thoughts again. Thank you all of reading...she has missed everyone so much! |

A very quick pop in to thank you all. Passions is a blessing to us all. I heard a new song last night by the Eagles called "theres a hole in the world tonight" The song, is beautiful. If I could have just one wish it would be that we could all share just one thought for just one moment, let it be for the hole to be gone tomorrow morning......the song is truly an amazing song, I would recomend it highly to anyone for what thats worth anyhow. lol. Be back when life is a bit easier, for now, peace to poetry land. ~D~ I must have had my momma's will |

I wanted to pop in again to thank you all. Kari.... Therapy is continuing to come along. They have "taped" my spine now and I go back to the doctors on Monday for more evaluations. It has been a long process, and the pain still is bothersome, but getting better. Thank you all for your continued support, prayers, and well thoughts. You are very appreciated. Peace to poetry land. ~D~ |

Beautiful duet, you two... “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |
