Veins, not of gold simply old lined hands touching keys gently after a long day, wanting to feel real, believing tomorrow is still a golden opportunity, hidden under the pixie dust on a closed window open it up please, swallow the night within rainbowed beams of light, casting shadows on tomorrow’s dreams over vain hands that seek to hold fond memories, to fill up tomorrow's plate ~yesterday~ I vainly spent time thinking time might be re-lived. Veins, not of gold simply old lined hands vainly holding onto time. |

I'm not sure how to quote so please give me some grace if I do it wrong. I loved this part of your poem: START QUOTE: open it up please, swallow the night within rainbowed beams of light, casting shadows on tomorrow’s dreams over vain hands that seek to hold fond memories, to fill up tomorrow's plate END QUOTE: I got goosebumps as I read this and realised that the mor I wait until tomorrow to make my dreams come true, they never will. Thanks for writing this, I really got a lot out of it and I really appreciate it. I think that the best poetry is the kind that wraps itself around your heart and prys inside to find your inner turmoil to help bring forward things that are really important. |

use the brackets to start and end a quote, Kellie quote: LOL, it sure looks silly without anything in there between those brackets anyway, thanks for highlighting the part you related to best ~don't wait until tomorrow to live today~ |

On the standard PC keyboard, look at the "P" key. The [brackets] are on the bottom of the key to the right of the "P." Type in the left bracket [ then the word quote, then the right bracket]. To end the quote, use the brackets [] and in the middle, type /quote. YES! you got it! |

To make response, I must have the back of my hands up. This is one time That not knowing how to type Comes in handy, Looking down is positive. There they are, brought to my attention By this prose...blue ridges On a sun-browned plain; -ducts that carry blood, And Oxygen to the brain; Thus allowing clear thought. Like "believing tomorrow is still a golden opportunity, hidden under the pixie dust on a closed window" The words of this poem open up "a closed window" The one you speak of.... Without those veins This day after yesterday Would hold no memories at all, Let alone fond ones. Remember past time, is conjured By memory...and without the "pipes", That carry blood to the brain, That magic would not work. Holding on to time and experiences Can be a problem But in your case, Kac, I don't think so... Perhaps you need to sit in Saturn's bower for a bit. Go there, remembering that a touch of melancholy Can be good for the soul. Love this poem....It touched a special spot on my spirit. Sorry for the ramble.... --------------ice/ford ><> |

Time is all we really have... right NOW. More and more I can relate to such a ponder. -MVS You CAN make a difference, but first you should learn how: http://educate-yourself.org/intro.shtml |

Dixie maybe a bit melencholic, but fortunately that mood doesn't stick to me ice...what a thoughtful reply. I always appreciate your sensitive comments. At first, I thought you wrote 'Satan's bower,' and that gave me quite a grin.  hello Mark, thanks for the timely visit! |

The lines may not be gold, but what those hands can do on a keyboard surely is! Seize the day! ~ and may pixie dust sprinkle your days of morrow!  A wonderful write!  Linda |
