| THE FOREST AND THE WIND
Posted: 4/14/2008 2:57:10 PM | The Valley of Love
Yes I have lain in the valleys of love
Tasted the sweetness of the fruits there of
Taken comfort in the soft creamy cape
Of skin as soft as that of floating crepe
I have slowly sipped from the cup of wine
As minds mingle and twisting bodies entwine
Both wept and sung with joy beneath the willow
Nestled in the warmth of breasts sweet pillow
I have Known love vanish into the swirling mist
The bitter loss of those tender lips I kissed
I have felt the utter wretchedness inside of me
When that sweet love, life, past into eternity
Yes I have sunken into the swamps of despair
And wrestled with my tormented soul while there
And I have felt the ravishes of being torn apart
I have felt the ice chill the very fire in my heart
Lay weeping beneath the wings of an angel
This cruel hurt and pain to numb and dispel
Only time… lost in this forest’s leafy haze
Will guide me now through this endless maze
And as I rise once more, ascend the mountain peak
Solitary, searching, I know not what it is that I seek
Opening my heart for life to enter and awake me
From this dark shadowy sleep and set me free
And I find love yet once more filling my soul
Yes I have found a new love to make me whole | |

Posted: 4/15/2008 6:14:26 AM | Good morning all,
Dog, I remember that well, lol!!!!!
Serendipity, Loved that write!!!!!
Hope all is well ya'll, It's a spirit quest day here today!!!!!
Finally we’ll hit 70
With patches of snow melting away
The water’s are flowing again
While the Zephyr whispers today
Leaves are beginning to bud out
The eagles circling over the streams
Diving straight down for fish
Breaking the through the glass like gleams
Red tail hawks are screeching for mates
The tulips are breaking the ground
The robbins are already plumped
Finally spring is in sound

Posted: 4/17/2008 11:14:30 AM | Hiya all,
Breathe in that warm breeze
Smell the pines in the air
Feel the sun on your lips
And the wind through your hair
Sit back with your feet up
Quenching thirst with that cold beer
Close your eyes and let your soul free
And embrace all the wonders you hear
Sam

Serendipity, Loved that write!!!!!
Thank you Mari_Sam I have enjoyed reading many of the writes in this forum and indeed was inspired to contribute
A Lazy Monday Afternoon
I close my eyes beneath the heat of the sun
Letting the warmth of its glow gently lull me
Feeling the touch of the breeze whisper across my body
Letting my mind empty of all needless thoughts
The only sound, that of far of rustling trees
And that of the birds song calling to their mates
Of the bee in search of pollen to present to his queen
Letting the peace drift all around me, and over me
Floating on a white cloud of peace and calm
Then memories flooded my mind of another Monday
Lying lazily in the sun beside a placid lake
With my lover by my side, gently caressing my body
Loving with open eyes and minds, sharing kisses
Filling my heart with sweet memories to carry always | |

Posted: 4/28/2008 8:25:21 AM | Morning all,
Dog, Yes indeed I was out and about in the woods!!! LOL
Ser, Love the write!!! Could feel it!!!!
Hope all is well with everyone, Things here are quiet today. My sisters cancer has now spread to her back too. She has started the radiation for that now, and yes the breast surgery has been postponed again. Good news is that the 12 tumors in her brain have shrunk 20% so far.
Storm clouds linger overhead
As a emerald hue drapes the land
New life is beginning to unfurl
Yet, bittersweet, I understand……

Posted: 5/3/2008 12:48:21 PM | Afternoon all,
Well I updated some new Photos I took at the Zoo Here. Yanno, We got snowed on last night, lol So I have to go to the Conservatory to get the flower shots right now. Global warming my A$$!!!!
Sun is out
But its deceiving
A cold chill
I’m receiving
But who cares
As long as it comes
And warmth rises
In the ending sums
Gotta run
But I’ll be back
Sometime this week
On old keys to hack…..
Hugs all
Sam

Posted: 5/4/2008 9:44:24 AM | Good morning all,
Spring is back
Life again feels fresh once more
Leaves opening as I write
The Zephyr breathes oh so softly
Enhancing the eagles flight
Lilly shoots breaking through
A painted canvas of green
Almost a royal jade tone
To most, completely unseen
Within the company of the prodigious Oaks
Is a Willow tree flowing in the breeze
Cascading like a natural spring waterfall
A burst of golden glowing leaves
And finally the warmth of the sun
Kissing my face today
Temps close to 70
Spiritual in every way………
Sam

Posted: 5/4/2008 10:00:25 AM | And the forest floor
rose to greet me,
as I stumbled on a limb,
thankfully no ones looking,
I'll just blame it all on Him!
The crystal sun was dancing,
as I trod the trails of spring,
lovin every moment still,
of wonders seasons bring.
Hiya Mari...long time since I visited here....still lovin the writes. | |

Posted: 5/10/2008 7:37:23 AM | Good Morning all,
Mandrake, Couldn't have said it better!!!
Fishing opener today
Yet rain gets in the way
So a house full of young
With a song never sung
Movies and board games
And calling each other names
We will survive
And the fish stay alive
LMAO

I have withstood the test of time,
My many fortunes, my many tragedies,
In reflection, they are all sublime.
Why do not you see what I see?
Can it be we are from two different worlds?
Is it that in this life we yearned in our own way to be free?
In all that is good and evil, why am I still sad?
The night beckons, I see that Death is nigh,
He speaks words of comfort, words that makes one glad,
The burden of this life is lifted, I am relieved,
Death, the white cloaked angel has come for me,
Do not grieve, do not cry, be happy, I have been freed. | |

| We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
Posted: 5/16/2008 7:59:10 AM | We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each springimpassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.
With beat of systole and of diastole
One grand great life throbs through earth's giant heart,
And mighty waves of single Being roll
From nerveless germ to man, for we are part
Of every rock and bird and beast and hill,
One with the things that prey on us, and one with what we kill
One sacrament are consecrate, the earth
Not we alone hath passions hymeneal,
The yellow buttercups that shake for mirth
At daybreak know a pleasure not less real
Than we do, when in some freshblossoming wood
We draw the spring into our hearts, and feel that life is good
Is the light vanished from our golden sun,
Or is this daedalfashioned earth less fair,
That we are nature's heritors, and one
With every pulse of life that beats the air?
Rather new suns across the sky shall pass,
New splendour come unto the flower, new glory to the grass.
And we two lovers shall not sit afar,
Critics of nature, but the joyous sea
Shall be our raiment, and the bearded star
Shoot arrows at our pleasure! We shall be
Part of the mighty universal whole,
And through all Aeons mix and mingle with the Kosmic Soul!.
We shall be notes in that great Symphony
Whose cadence circles through the rhythmic spheres,
And all the live World's throbbing heart shall be
One with our heart, the stealthy creeping years
Have lost their terrors now, we shall not die,
The Universe itself shall be our Immortality!.

Posted: 5/22/2008 11:08:57 PM | shyt.. thanks pickles.. I can't recall anything since Mari retired as my secretary.
I'd have written her something.. belated?
close enough..
it's just us
Short and Sweet
spirit walks
midnight talks
country folk
holdin their own
we've both seen catfish jumping at dawn
sometimes we just smile and sometimes we eat 'em
mari walks the red road

 She drove around for hours getting me the perfect cow picture a few years ago.
Even had to talk the farmer. hahaha God, I miss the midwest.

Posted: 5/28/2008 6:06:31 AM | Morning all,
Thank you so much for the Birthday Wishes Ya'll!!!!
Sorry I've been missing for a bit. I had Surgery again, but am slowly recovering!!
My sisters cancer has moved into her back now, and the brain tumors are growing.
My mother who is a breast cancer survivor, is awaitng another biopsy result on her breast bone. My other sister goes in on Wed. for a double biopsy. So it will be hit or miss when I can be on.
When the moon is falling
And the sun can't shine
I gotta remember
All that is mine
Time is a word
With more meaning than thought
Amazing how much shorter
than I once was taught.....
Love ya'll
Sam

Posted: 5/30/2008 2:30:13 AM | Okay.. you'd better not read this
don't want you popping a stitch
because, I just dropped in to make you laugh
maybe lie about my largest bass
I was sittin on the shore minding my own business
smelling like a brewery
it's nightime, I remind you
had the catfish bell on the end of the pole
drinkin my beer and swattin skeeters
contemplating playing with my peter
when the catfish bell starts a ringin
I went into a panic
well, a slow panic
I ain't exactly manic
southern thing
anyway..
I got to the canal before the pole went into the water
stuck my pant leg in cause I walked through the fire
and then I set the hook
wtf?
This ain't gonna be a catfish
I could tell by the way it was pullin
it started runnin and I started tightenin the clutch
three prongs on that hook and I tied the knot myself
I held on for dear life when he pulled me in
and I'll be damned if that largemouth didn't take me water ski'n
I held on
was twice upside down
drug me through a dam
and then back up again
I don't recall who got worn out first
me or that fourty pound largemouth
but, we ended up fighting it out in a tidal pool
I removed his hook, he split, and all was cool

Her regal embrace brings my essence to ecstasy,
Her eyes tantalize my soul,
The presence of her body intoxicates me.
But does she know I exist?
How am I to prove my undying loyalty and affection?
Will she give me that chance to do so?
I am that flower in solitude in a big forest,
No one can see me, but if she opens her eyes, here I am,
Is it my fate to remain unseen for all eternity?
I ask the world, do you see me?
If so, please, take me out of my agony of forbidden love,
Tell her, I am here. . . . | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 3:52:24 PM | Dang girlfriend.....you must have been top of the list when God was handing out assignments!
I do hope that the news was all good
A woman with burdens
but a back so straight
the load she carries
would make a grown man faint
she inspires us on our journey
embraces the light
her courage sustains us
in our daily fight
Hugzzz babes

Trust and Deliverance
31 May 2008
Happiness was to feel love,
a desire more than most
An envelopment of truth,
a heart made to feel pure and kind
To wash away the bitter taste,
and smile, in a rightful manner
Just to know and love,
where being loved brought grace
A gratitude of dilemma,
beauty and true faith
The trust and deliverance,
freedom to think and prosper
Take heart for whatever
has broken your heart
Will heal once happiness
does in forgiveness return

Posted: 6/5/2008 3:08:56 PM | Evening all,
Well besides the storms on us right now, My Mother's cancer is back. My 2nd sister now has breast cancer. And the tumers in my 1st sisters brain are growing larger.
Needless to say, I spent the day at the ER yesterday to find out I have an Ulcer! Who'da thought???
I can pray for a rain bow
I can wish for Cure
To grant all my family
Their health to be pure
I go in August
For gene testing
To see if we carry it in our heritage
No time for resting
Sam

Posted: 6/5/2008 9:39:14 PM | | we will send positive energy and prayers that you carry a protective haplotype/phenotype that actually offers protection from cancer...I know that will be a relief to everyone and I know it doesn't change all the pain and stress you feel for all the other members of your family. | |

Lightning flashes
Thunder vibrating the earth
Moister engulfing each breath
Cosmic tears, changing worth
Blossom petals flowing
Within the Zephyrs Breeze
Cascading in the dark
A waterfall of leaves
Streams forming in the streets
Overflowing drains
The world being flooded
By steady down pouring rains…….

Posted: 6/6/2008 12:58:02 PM | good to hear your smile
we always do when we speak to each other
sooner or later
we can find something to laugh about even talking bridges under the water
Mari's gonna become a water taxi driver
if I ever finish this dam.n boat for her
lol and tell those ass holes to make you something decent to eat
something that your ulcer can handle, yet requires teeth
chicken fried steak with taters and gravy would be sweet
your ass is gonna get fat
you know that?
and you'll get hemorrhoids too with your luck
moo to you  | |
