~*~ I'm going to spend the summer on my own in a town faraway by the sea by the beautiful sea. I will look for you on the horizon, recalling the way you tuned up my smile and kept it working for me. Cutting the wires and the ties but never the strings holding my heart together. Words fail me, but I wanted you to know, they bring such comfort to my soul and I will keep them safely, where they shall always remain. Oh girl friend, there is a history here so dear to me; forthcoming with the stories, and the heart aches of our lives. Serendipity, is such a sweet memory, and forever will be. Then there was you, putting up with my dirty pool and your gentle ways of understanding of my moves and missed shots, calling my bluff on cue, and so many smiles. I am not writing this in order because frienship's don't work that way but how I recall these days and the gifts I've received in abundance that enables me to move on. Like a gold mine, I feel so very lucky, I can count them on one hand. And then came you, you know who you are, the one who signifies the passing of an olive branch that means the most to me. The reaping and the weeping, bonding our friendship, and the treasure I found in you. Once upon a time, I had a secret love who moved in and out of the shadows camouflaging the sun and moon, strayng across the darkest sky keeping me covered and warm. And always I will remember, when the summer storms my way and the leaves fall from the trees when the rain pours down the pane and spring time blooms again. Each of you were, and are so much more than enough and the difference a day made in my life, accepting me unconditionally. I do thank you for the good times, for they are, in no uncertain terms, the times I'll cherish most of all. ~*~ |

Truly beautiful Lori, you're a treasure. Maree  The clouds never expect it when it rains, but the sea, changes colour, but the sea, does not change. |

Lori, brought a tear to my eye Remember this.... 4/04/2000 ( took me awhile to find it..couldn't remember what names we wrote it under back then) Casting the Brilliance Moon shadows flickering long into night As her brilliance illuminates land and Sea Reflections, the rippling, the tides on the rise The pulling sensation of she. In the darkness of night, opals shimmer and shine Alluring, enticing desire Of the lovers who walk, hand in hand by the Sea As they warm to the night's Moonlight fire. A touch of romancing, the Moon and the Sea Affects all embracing their view As the dark of the night meets the light of the morn The memories are made, shared by two. Riding the waves, 'til they've crested and calmed Until hour when sunlight shall rise You beckon to me with the dampness, the dew With an awakening look in your eyes. We walk the edges, search out, finding coves As the waves lap and reach out to play Feel the gentle of breezes creating a kiss 'Neath the moon that is hidden away. From the ocean cove, by the pale of moon Sighing sounds whisper of blush Trembling voices, in chilled evening air Heard over the lapping waves' rush. As the sun begins setting, our passions fulfilled Creating the hues crimson red All will witness the Moon, and the glow of the Sea As they cast off their brilliance they shed. Moonchild & Sea 4*4*2000 |

"Once upon a time, I had a secret love who moved in and out of the shadows camouflaging the sun and moon, strayng across the darkest sky keeping me covered and warm." ~ I absolutely adore this stanza!!! A highly "poetical" write, Dear Bluesy One! Love & Light, Linda |

This....hard to answer....so I will only say it's beautiful, and you will be missed not just for your poetry but also for yourself. ....and that I hope there's a computer in that little town 3,208 miles away, so you won't be completely gone from here, merely distant. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Bluesy, I've enjoyed our time together on the web. Enjoy the little town. We'll miss ya and hope to hear from you when you're able to write. I hope you keep a poetry journal while you're there! (I think it is the personal contacts on the internet that keep me writing, surely not my discipline!) I hope you keep writing... You're really a neat person! Sadie |

"And always I will remember, when the summer storms my way and the leaves fall from the trees when the rain pours down the pane and spring time blooms again." Don't forget the trenchcoat Bluesy...  |
