I have already capsized . . . this ship, sinking into the emerald sea salt savored bliss Shall I swim towards the shore daring the waves to dance? Or float forevermore upon happenstance? The maelstrom churning tides turning time back and forth tossing me about A hurricane to the sea circle of commonality rising rising currents seize this ship . . . and I sink drifting down down down to sweet release |

 (smiles) Oh Sue, this reminded me so much of that new Dido song "White Flag" which I love so much: "I will go down with this ship, And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door, I'm in love, and will always be..." (sigh) This is just beautiful, sweet friend, I love the sweet confluence of these drifting words, yay, God Bless You, I just love your imagery, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth I can see the sun set and I perceive ***Live*** [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (09-05-2003 01:42 PM).] |

...In the arms of an angel Fly away from here From this dark cold hotel room And the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage Of your silent reverie You're in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort there...  If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

"maelstrom"??? "happenstance"??? "commonality"?? Did you get hit with a dictionary?? Seriously, Sue, this is yet another fine example otf your great ability to put words together. This is thoroughly enjoyed We are all equal but we’re individually different |

Another good poem from your pen, Sue... “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 |

There was a song when I was younger called, "The Sea Of Love", and it is only too bad you can't sing this as the idea, words, and feelings in this poem are beautiful. Just beautiful! |

Smiling at you, with your new picture, and this delightful read. I do believe those littlewings are WATER WINGS, Sue.  Very nice ebb and flow in this write. And some nice $50 words (maelstrom)! |

And it's been said that "love" makes for awful poetry... Could this be the exeption, or have "they" never felt? Susie? Isle of view in this Ed [This message has been edited by wranx (09-07-2003 02:05 PM).] |

Well, I'm not sure what happened here. I read this earlier, and thought I had replied, but..not seeing my name, so here I go again... I just love this, Sue...it's beautiful in so many ways. Smiling at you, once again...*smile* I'm just so happy for you... Hugs to you, lady... If you judge people, you have no time to love them. |
