You display the things that you want me to see while speaking of a lovers melody, and hold me captive under your wings, without allowing me to fly Protecting me but yet, not willing to try or perhaps it's your way of keeping whats real hidden from my eyes. The feast is on the tables been set so keep carving layers you haven't devoured me yet. The greatest beauty on earth, is found in the hearts of those who love.... |

So many children think that, especially as they are guided to achievement by parents not ability or in reverse that have ability but a parent has decided they are only good for breeding and living off a man. To have ability, be given the chance to demonstrate must be one of the nicest things there is. Excellent words. Dave |

Donna - your poetry carries such power - such poignancy - truly a pen with some muscle yet still dripping eloquence Susan If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |

Donna, simply superb. Sad, how they sometimes cannot let the bird fly, even for a second...in fear of it nevr returning. When love is there...the dove always comes back to the nest... |

as the others say yes it is powerful and all should be able to fly independently to reach ones purpose ones destiny instead of codependent to ease ones fear of being alone or not needed not allowing real love to grow and spread it wings and fly or having the ability to do and be ones self or knowing the ability to be proud of giving love and growth and encouriging flight of independece knowing love always comes back thanks and hugs |
