Ever since our “becoming” I’ve said the same things in as many ways as I could And what happens now that I’ve run out of words? When I’ve said all I can with the tools I’ve been given? Do I, then engineer an alternate alphabet? Populated with letters made from stronger stuff Consonants… Forged in the fires of resolve and carved from the Earths’ own marble Lending them the spine and weight to bear my thoughts And vowels… Formed from tempestuous winds and Springs’ swollen torrents giving them the power they require But, even using this elemental new alphabet to spell the same tired words would be scant improvement A new language is needed One, where the words themselves are distillations of emotion “Longing” could be portrayed as miles lived and years traveled “Desire” would course with the same seething blood that drives it And yet There would still be no pictograph Or string of characters that could Contain “This” "In looking Northward, I see a light" [This message has been edited by wranx (10-01-2003 02:21 AM).] |

"“Longing” could be portrayed as miles lived and years traveled “Desire” would course with the same seething blood that drives it And yet There would still be no pictograph Or string of characters that could Contain “This”" Oh my, Ed... I absolutely adore this...it's gorgeous... If I didn't know better, I'd think you were a man in love...grin. You two are priceless...I love ya both...  When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. -Jimi Hendrix [This message has been edited by vlraynes (10-01-2003 02:37 AM).] |

 (big hugggsssssss) "This" can never be summarized and every time one stresses to do so, one never does "this" any justice as opposed to "that", where it then becomes valid to renounce the characters! (sigh) This is marvelous, sweet friend, I absolutely love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Wranx, 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 |

“Longing” could be portrayed as miles lived and years traveled yes, my friend, you are so correct, but then comes a time, when you make things happen, for yourself, forgetting the desire, but fulfilling the power of allowing, and being so transfigured by love....freshened and happy within for her, for yourself, for where you've gone, and what you both can accomplish, even if not together, you were given something very valuable to grow on...allow it to freshen and baptize your soul heart and mind. Loveing her so very much that you would allow her happiness, whihc in turn will compliment your life, sending you a shower of profit someday. A tremendous write, very well done |

I often wonder what soul, far past the midnight hour bemused such conception as the written word Forged to be spoken as if it could actually convey breath exchanged from mouth to neck and lung to life They sit around me in droves like a marketplace of emotion such creations books and yet, I have no use for them anymore They once held meaning flipping through pages of pronunciation and definition Now they read as a foreign language I often wonder if this same soul the moon a constant companion knew the meaning of feel It transcends common thought and abounds with grace everything which I am and hope to be for you and I eternally I have lost sight I do believe to the language itself and now have found within you an undiscovered train of speech I cannot write nor speak it but as sure as my blood flows like a raging river and my lungs fill with breath I feel you, my love And that, indeed is a treasure in itself Eddie, you have graced me once again with your words . . . felt unspoken, resounding within my soul . . . which has become your own For this, I thank you and can only say what seems so hollow in this mad quest for logic (which is mute) that I love you and between us we know exactly what that means Good Morning baby What a beautiful sunrise I have shining upon me Susie xxoo [This message has been edited by littlewing (10-01-2003 08:30 AM).] |

I could scarcely breathe reading your words of love, Dear Wranx! You are a master poet and I love that mind of yours! And BTW, Susan must post her poetic reply! It is definitely one of her best! It is stellar! It seems to me that love has made you both shine even more brightly!  Love to two beautiful souls, Linda |

Like you could ever run out of words! Dear brother of mine, your facial expressions always says it all. And Little Wing should post that last writing to you. It was magnificent. |
