+*+*+ Standing on a cliff top, Looking out to sea, A whirling wind breathes spirit In to the soul of me. With arms extending skyward, I reach for glowing moon, I'm lost in the moment And soon reel in a swoon. While swaying to and fro, His spirit name I call, Please fill me with your starlight, Lest down to depths I fall. As strength drains from my body, Listless arms slip down each side, I'm standing there, all alone, No vestige left of pride. Sullen and forgotten, I turn to make my leave, When stayed by a velvet touch On my silky sleeve. Lips of sweet cloud softness, Breathe life into soul of me, Arms of oak pull me close And set my spirit free. I reach my arms to heaven, In love's sweet afterglow, For I was shot with starlight, From my spirit lover's bow. Standing on a cliff top, Looking out to sea, A whirling wind breathes spirit, In to the soul of me. +*+*+ [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (08-23-2003 11:52 AM).] |

Patricia ---and all other readers thus far---I just made a plethora of changes to this poem and I do believe it is now much improved in flow and imagery. I preview my poems before submitting them, but there is something about seeing it on the big screen that makes me get a clearer picture! As I have said before, if anyone chooses to "keep" one of my poems, they should check back again later the next day to see if they might want to save a "new and hopefully improved" edition! Thanks Pat for your enthusiastic response! ~ May the winds of good fortune blow in yours and your family's way! EA |

I swore I had responded to this..haha methinks I'm a bit disillusional perhaps its the lack of sleep If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
