~* Common Bondings~* In silence, I read the words written in the ink of pain born within a heart ~of broken~ I am moved by this gentle understanding, so universal in the sharing of poetry in motion, plucking heartstrings... In silence, she reads my words she understands my reality, my true essence, my being, the emotions that make up me; and deep within that relation there's a beauty created, a revelation, ~untouchable~ now instilling a power to touch my simple words, like pieces of stone and wood placed just so by the heart's precision, create a comfortable gathering space where we come together by the fireplace, it's where we share the vision. Within eternities grace I shall remember the verses that have lifted my soul and given me the strength to look at the coming dawn with a new view to see life through. Rose-colored glasses ~ I do not need~ for I walk with the knowledge that my vision is now clearer because I have heard the messages written in words of rhyme, and I have felt their magical touch within my heart in mystical moments woven from your life lessons into poetic gifting of wisdom that flows endlessly from your pen..... Through my simple words I reach out across the universe of living different lives and make the connection that draws us near and holds us there forever. You reach deeper touching places long forgotten awakening memories of who I was then making me grateful that I can see past the pain of what used to be. Poet, you have spoken softly with your words... and I have heard your voice. It's better than I could have planned.. it's made me who I am... {Trace Adkins} [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (12-20-2003 08:30 AM).] |

GentleSpirit and Dixie, Very creative and eloquent! I believe the world depends on our choices. Now, in this time, we are confronted with the option to destroy or create. Poets choose to create. Poetry may be saving grace! LoL & hugs, |

When the poet lifts the reader, the reader never forgets that oh so delicate touch... Well done, you two. This was not only a fine duet, but a pairing of souls... |

I must admit I was experiencing the shedding of tears before I happened upon this poem...now, ladies, I am in full blown sobbing. This is an extraordinary piece that I must keep. You reminded me of who I am...a poet, one who is still growing and reaching to become the poet she desires to be, but nevertheless a poet. And this piece...an inspiration to a poet who has not written in many weeks. I suspect the words will commence again very soon. Thank you, ladies! Into my library this goes...

Donna, it was a true gift to be able to do this with you. I'm not much for doing duets, but you inspired me. I thank you for that. To the readers we touched with this write: my heart is warm, thank you for your replies. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! |
