| Two Ways Hath Life Posted: 11/20/2007 12:02:23 PM | Two ways hath Life. One as a stream With flowers environed quits the source, The even tenor of its course Scarce ruffled by a transient gleam, No echo marks the onward roll Of waters without plaint or sigh, That win scant heed from passers-by, But still unhasting reach the goal.
One as a torrent unconfined Breaks headlong forth with frenzied will, No agency its rage can still, No barriers curb, no forces bind. The first achieves, the second aims; One limits hath, the other none, Each day its task afresh begun-- Patience, Ambition, are their names.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Alfred De Musser~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |

| Two Ways Hath Life Posted: 11/20/2007 5:29:23 PM | Twisting in the winds of indecision trying hard to weather this storm knowing in my heart there lies the answer I just have to let it be born
Looking back behind often blinds us to what exists here today As friendship gives birth to tomorrow and we take each new step come what may
I look deep within for the answer but maybe I should look to you for there in your eyes is my reflection hidden in oceans of blue
My dear friend...thank you for your kind words... I have been experiencing my own battle with indecision as of late. Perhaps this is why I was so drawn to your thread today. They say three times a charm...3rd visit today,perhaps clarity will soon be mine.

| Two Ways Hath Life Posted: 11/21/2007 5:52:23 AM | Good morning all....rainy day here in Ontario...yet still construction goes on next door, as my neighbour's who lost their home to a fire this year begin to rebuild. My house it shakes and rattles, but it is nice to know that this family again will have a home to raise their three small boys.
34 days till Christmas....Wabbit is about half way done the gift buying process...and then all that wrapping! 21 days till Wabbit takes flight....three more weeks my love, then to you I come again ...can't wait!
Queen Squirrel...a very fine write you leave for us , one that speaks of great wisdom and one I have read over and over. For to have patience is one I struggle with daily, waiting to be with the one you love can be agonizing to say the least. Thank you.
AV...I had a feeling that something was up with you, overjoyed am I that you feel that this is a place where you can seek comfort or better yet ANSWERS to a dilemma you face in your own life. I had you on my mind last night, and I do hope that this following poem may aid you in your decisions as I will bare myself to you in hopes of doing this.
I look deep within for the answer but maybe I should look to you for there in your eyes is my reflection hidden in oceans of blue
Those blue eyes just might be where answers you are seeking are plain to see trust their depths if they warm you with delight should you see something that chills this may be cause for flight.
Please read my next post AV...it may show you what one would do for love.....God bless my friend.

| Sacrifice... Posted: 11/21/2007 6:03:22 AM | Upon these pages many can see how a man's gentle love set my soul flying free yet as you can imagine this is not an easy road I take distance with parting is agonizing to a heart tears flow from me like a fast moving lake yet that is only the beginning of what we must endure to obtain this love we have found that we deem pure those in power hold our fate in their hands financial woes on us makes great demands lawyers must be obtained to finally set me free we must fight many battles for this love to actually be sacrifices come where many I must leave behind this claws at my heart days of tears from me you will find indecision has raged through me like a never ending storm I love this man dearly yet to go through all this many would not find to be the norm I know that many would run think this to be an unsurmountable task yet how can you hide from such abiding love forever I would be walking in life wearing a mask I have come to a decision that this man is worth fighting for to a crowd of millions I could speak how to me he has opened so many doors that he is unlike any other a man that stays strong through trials at my side from him and what he offers I simply can't hide.....
So AV I say this...
If this is something that you feel strong about in your heart if it is something you could defend that do not let it depart for only few chances are given in this life sometimes to obtain them we must endure strife yet when it is over a smile shall dawn our face for we fought that fight found in life our place...
May you find your answers soon. | |

| Sacrifice... Posted: 11/21/2007 11:09:14 AM | A New Beginning
All day long I hear construction loudly in my ear soil being turned anew new beginnings come to my view for that is how we do begin if in life we wish to win breaking ground shall invoke us with good things hard work is what this also brings so as I watch them next door create it resembles to me my own fate for if I wish for new I know exactly what I must do. | |

First Snowfall
Woke this morning what did I see soft pretty snowflakes falling so free a delight to my eyes girls come look I did say to our front window they quickly made their way a smile came across our faces as this sight we did take in my little one headed to the coat closet preparing for snow play did begin just a light snowfall not enough to build a snowman yet of this wintery stuff she seems to be a great fan as fast as it came it soon disappeared from sight melting away into the ground yet more will come this night that first snowfall is a sight to behold warms me within even if it does bring to us times of cold.... | |

A Year Past...
As I sit here to think over a past amazing year memories of our times comes to me so near what extreme joy I have found with you a life I never saw living you have brought to my view picking flowers for me placing them in my hair scoping out river turtles of lizard farms you have made me aware to watching you climb upon a fake horse's back when it comes to making me smile darling of this you do not lack going to a nearby zoo seeing a new baby monkey for the first time these memories flood through me drifting am I to these moments devine we've shared so much in this past year "all is right with the world" when together we are near I look ahead into far distant skies my heart gently sighs for I know that more is yet to come a life of love and laughter is ours to see you've came into my life truly shown me how love should be so I send out a cheers darling to many more years of sharing with you know that each day for the rest of my life I will be loving you... | |

| when the words just come..... Posted: 11/23/2007 5:59:42 AM | These following lyrics have always been inspirational to me , for they speak truth about so many in this world, including myself....so I hope they do inspire another to act upon something that they may feel cannot be accomplished. I WILL sail my vessel...until the river runs dry.
You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows. And a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes. Trying to learn from what's behind you and never knowing what's in store makes each day a constant battle just to stay between the shores. And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry. Like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky. I'll never reach my destination if I never try, So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry. Too many times we stand aside and let the water slip away. To what we put off 'til tomorrow has now become today. So don't you sit upon the shore and say you're satisfied. Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tides.
-Garth Brooks, song "The River" co-written with Victoria Shaw | |

| when the words just come..... Posted: 11/23/2007 8:11:35 AM | So strange that you should mention this song...I was just listening to it the other day. For years, it has provided inspiration when I'm in need of that extra "push".
So true are the lyrics put to the most beautiful melody.
Hugs, AV | |

| when the words just come..... Posted: 11/23/2007 8:36:13 AM | We must have hope when all has faded. Live on when dreams are spent. Discover strength within us; when life is hardest yet!
Determination beckons; Eyes stay steady and true. Heart knows fate is kindest; When your future fate finds you.

| when the words just come..... Posted: 11/23/2007 11:17:50 AM | Wabbit's back...
So glad that I could find words that inspire another to reach high when we feel that mighty surge within seems as if we can almost fly
I have found it in me when I thought lost it was for sure amazing when love comes so much in life it can cure
Keep reaching for that final destination is what I say life my friends is too short we must find ways to play.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh Jules...at times your sweet, tender heart just moves me truly...thank you for that write.
etermination beckons; Eyes stay steady and true. Heart knows fate is kindest; When your future fate finds you
So true Queen Squirrel....we must keep our eyes fixed upon that prize...which thankfully is love. | |

| when the words just come..... Posted: 11/23/2007 4:29:04 PM | it's been awhile since i've been on here, but it's been awhile since the muses have visited me. i usually write to intrumentals of songs and i heard one today that pretty much made this poem write itself. i'm kinda mad cause i cut it short because a freind walked in that wanted to talk, and you can't let your guy freinds see you write this stuff.......it's ok for you guys to because you're total strangers but i lost it after that, so here it is.
She grabs my hand, we grant eachother simplicity Sweet serenity, she proceeds to say that she’s into me There’s no words, that can say what she’s been to me friends first, now she’s more than a friend to me
times running out I’m bout to hit open the road Gotta dip to my destiny But I’m hoping she will go I wanted this so long But I wanted to move slow I gotta be a man I gotta let her know…
….hey love, I’ll never have the white picket fence This worlds to small, I hope it makes sense My time in this city, is almost all spent I gotta move on, I hope you understand I didn’t mean to lead you on, or make you switch plans My palms got sweaty, so we switched hands……..
...Now I’m in her eyes, this woman shines like a deity Burning through my soul, fills the hole up completely My cup over flows, overdosed off her sweet scent Love tidal pull, she exposed all my weakness
She whispers in my ear you don’t know you do to me I’ve never had love or a man get through to me I’m so caught up, baby this is so new to me I though I knew love, but I didn’t know truthfully
When I tried to speak out I felt our lips embrace She hugged me so tight I felt our hips embrace I’m in a different world Our very own place Beyond comprehension Beyond time and space
I came to, shorty’s laying, sleep, curled up to me I’d give her the world if it was really all up to me Standing at the fork in the road of what to be……. Kiss her on the head shut my eyes and I fall asleep. | |

| when the words just come..... Posted: 11/23/2007 6:00:48 PM | Welcome istayflylikeykk, nice write.
Never be afraid To speak your mind You can be manly Yet be kind
I am quite macho I'm brave and I'm strong Denying my feelings Well, that's just plain wrong
Be secure in yourself Speak loud and clear Shout from the roof tops Let everyone hear | |
|
| when the words just come..... Posted: 11/23/2007 8:16:39 PM | | it's not that i'm afraid to speak my mind to my boys. it's just kind of a personal side to me that i wouldn't really wanna share with them i'm just saving it for the next lucky girl. i don't mind sharing with you guys cause it's not like you guys know me. thanks though. | |

| when the words just come..... Posted: 11/24/2007 2:00:01 PM | Time passes so slowly a constant aching in my heart torture is it truly to be apart when will this aching end will it ever go away today loneliness engulfs me so low today.. | |

| when the words just come..... Posted: 11/27/2007 7:12:52 PM | For Wabbit and Hunter....Natalie Merchant....Motherland! hugs jules
Where in the hell can you go Far from the things that you know Far from the sprawl of concrete that keeps crawling its way About 1,000 miles a day
Take one last look behind Commit this to memory and mind Don't miss this wasteland, this terrible place When you leave Keep your heart off your sleeve.
Motherland cradle me Close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep Keep me safe, lie with me Stay beside me don't go Don't you go
Oh, my five & dime queen Tell me what have you seen The lust and the avarice The bottomless, cavernous greed Is that what you see?
Oh Motherland cradle me Close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep Keep me safe, lie with me, stay beside me don't go.
It's your happiness I want most of all And for that I'd do anything at all Oh mercy me! If you want the best of it Or the most of all If there's anything I can do at all.
Now come on shot gun bride What makes me envy your life? Faceless, nameless, innocent, blameless and free What's that like to be?
Oh Motherland Cradle me Close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep Keep me safe, lie with me Stay beside me don't go Don't go, don't go
Motherland Cradle me Close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep Keep me safe, lie with me Stay beside me don't go Don't go, don't go

| when the words just come..... Posted: 11/28/2007 9:31:21 AM | Nice to see you in Squirrel, I have never heard this song before but this verse caught my eye:
It's your happiness I want most of all And for that I'd do anything at all Oh mercy me! If you want the best of it Or the most of all If there's anything I can do at all.
All I Want
So true that to bring another happiness is what we want most of all yet a struggling inability to achieve this makes us rise then fall
Helpless I feel at times from this distance so far away to make my love shown to this man I love each day
To see his smile look into his eyes that captivate me so bring him great happiness let to him my love flow
Yet here I sit not knowing where to turn this need in me to be with him causes my soul to burn
I falter at times wondering how this will come to be so much upheavel in emotions we experience when each other we do not physically see
Holding on each day trying to keep this together with all my might yet I must confess that happiness will only come when again he is in my sight.... | |

| when the words just come..... Posted: 11/28/2007 10:12:11 AM | With Christmas fast approaching us, I thought I would post the lyrics to my favourite Christmas Carol, and would ask others to as well.....may the hope that comes from the holiday season be with all of you always.
Oh Holy Night
O' Holy night, the stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear Savior's birth Long lay the world In sin and error pining 'Til He appeared and the soul felt His worth
The thrill of hope, The weary world rejoices For yonder brings a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees Oh, hear the angel's voices O' night divine O' night when Christ was born O' night divine O' night, O' night divine
O' Holy night, the stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear Savior's birth Oh... Long lay the world In sin and error pining 'Til He appeared and the soul felt His worth
The thrill of hope, The weary world rejoices For yonder brings a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees Oh, hear the angel's voices O' night divine O' night when Christ was born O' night divine O' night, O' night di...divine

Christmas Countdown
Counting down till Christmas twenty seven days to wait Wabbit's all done her shopping didn't want to be late
Wrapping now I must do make them all pretty to view can't wait till Christmas morn where smiles for sure shall be born
As my children run to our tree paper will be flying so free hoping that they like what Santa did bring that throughout my home elation will ring. | |
|
| when the words just come..... Posted: 11/29/2007 5:57:49 AM | Soon Together Again
I mark each day off on my calendar anticipating my day to take flight there now are only thirteen days to wait till Wabbit will again have Hunter in sight
To a Christmas party we will go a birthday celebration for two as long as we are together I truly care not what we do
Yet with these holidays fastly approaching my wish is to go out with you and find cheer celebrate all that we have found together in this amazing past year
So know my darling our wait now will not be long my plane will be landing on your southern soil again within our hearts will sing a sweet love song.. | |
|
| when the words just come..... Posted: 11/29/2007 6:08:27 AM | A Christmas Prayer
Loving Father, help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the wise men.
Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting. Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.
May the Christmas morning make us happy to be Thy children, and the Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus’ sake. Amen.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) | |
