Given Christmas gifts I'm astounded and amazed No words come to mind All the things that I desire yet all I say is tanka Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

sweet! :-) turning mirrors upside down won't make dust fall off the ground, hiding wounds won't ease the pain, sleep won't make you whole again... |

love junkie, A tanka is a poem with five lines of 5,7,5, 7,7 syllables. It is usually just a thought that is completed in the last two lines. I decided that Tanka is close enough to Thank you to do a little play on words as well. It must that my brain is done in from all the celebrating. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, this is sooooooo cute, sweet friend, I know just how you feel as I wish I could make up an acceptance and thank you speech like an actor at the Academy Awards for each gift I receive but I'm just speechless, God Bless You, the single word thank you can suffice beautifully, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
