~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Three-word vocabulary, no wonder I can’t write. Only three words exist within my narrow sight. I feel them in the morning and whisper them at night, Long to hear those words from You and let You hold me tight. Quite a contradiction -- to feel so full and yet, I’m empty of the words to tell the feelings You beget. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ [This message has been edited by iliana (03-22-2006 12:26 AM).] |

Jo - No one is ever empty of the words but just too scared to let them out. Maybe life is too short to keep them bottled up. Children never do that and "unless one becomes as a little child ..." Still, you express the dilemma of humankind and I'm reminded of this - "Of your unspoken word you are master. Your spoken word is master of you".  Helen |

Thank you, Hope, for the post. You are a master of expressing your feelings, so I am flattered! Helen, my friend, at the moment, the words I'd like to write are floating around outside of me....someday, someday. Thanks. ....jo |

Jo, You said it good! So many have that problem. It doesn't mean the words arn't in another's heart, just that they hold them too close to give freely. best,martyjo |

Hi Jo Such a lovely, thoughtful poem. "It is huge in its silence, then roars like a storm and rains new meanings, the fine art of unwinding languages, uttered in wavelengths without even saying a word." (from one of mine in duet with Maree) |

 (smiles) Oh Jo, I know just how you feel, as though I dream of my dream girl every night and I love her more than anything in the world, every single word is meiotic of my love for her! (sigh) I find that to be absolutely OK though, because love truly is immeasurable and it's the way we say those three words that can really inspire beautiful new melodies and harmonies! (sigh) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jo, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |

G'day Jo. You'll have to pardon the ignorance of an old bushie but are those three words, "Tuckers on love!" No, perhaps not ... you dumb old bushie the dear girl was being romantic ... expressing delightful thoughts ... wake up to yourself! Oh! Sorry Jo. We Aussie blokes seem to be always in trouble for not whispering them.  The Grey |

You said it all even without those three words. I found myself at a loss to comment adequately... and just sighed. Me, too... ~ Karen |
