Posted: 4/24/2008 7:21:31 AM | posted this on another thread...but made me think of you, swan! wishing you wonders!
to find it all over again, my dear
allowing to wash over my soul
not holding on with the fear
but gently letting go...
like a caterpillar that transcends
into a butterfly spreading wings
love too given with open hand
permits my soul to sing | |

| REVERSING THE SPELL
Posted: 4/27/2008 12:23:23 PM | in early dawn
lies no meaning to this
spilling out shining of day
where i stand orphaned
at the door of spring
with the new sun rising behind me,
the old moon fading transparently
on the lonely road ahead of me
words of spring, new, dawn
carry no meaning
nor bring comfort
nor sound sweet
they are mere empty shells
fragile and brittle
left over from youthful oceans
long evaporated
oh take me from this lonely road
lined with wolves that howl
where i age in a black rain of sorrow
flowing to a river of bitumen and pitch
my future lying
in this tiny boat
of words
the nacre of my soul
encrusting the prow
the last whisper of hope
billowing the sail | |

Posted: 4/27/2008 2:25:55 PM | Play in the Day Your In
Beaten down, battered, broken, afraid
Will pain go away if I'm strong?
While tears flow copiously, I have prayed
That weeping can't be wrong
Understanding, attentive, patient and real
You reach out and I'm alive
Again tears flow freely as I truly feel
Now I'm ready to survive
Breaking that veritable wall of darkness
Cautiously backing away to see
Assembling all truth I sincerely confess
In this day I can be free
Who knows the reasons? Who is to say
Why we live through what we must
It's taking each moment as gift for today
That will grow to love and trust
So now, I play in the day I'm in
Productive as I can be
Living here, Loving now, is how I win
And keep life alive for me.
~Unknown
I liked this poem I hope you do to, Swan. You know I love ya. Lucky  | |

closer you come in every days row
guiding you to your home
where the winds will be calm
after the life storm
blue the skies
puffy white clouds
sun shining!!!!
Miss'n your lovely words and You!!! | |

Posted: 4/28/2008 2:44:38 PM | some days the truth of this life rips my heart out
and stomps it
and some days the beauty within it takes my heart
to the sky for flight
sometimes I wonder if I'm a little crazy
but most days I wonder why I have
no one but you
to tell this to
and I chase the bitterness with a glass of saltwater tears
that I collected over the years
and pretend that I really mean that smile
all the while....
someone watches from afar and understands
and that's where the beauty lies
in understanding eyes
and I smile and mea | |

Posted: 4/28/2008 3:07:46 PM | I'll Be Here
I cannot ease your aching heart,
Nor take your pain away;
But let me stay and take your hand
And walk with you today.
I'll listen when you need to talk,
I'll wipe away your tears;
I'll share your worries when they come,
I'll help you face your fears.
I'm here and I will stand by you,
On each hill you have to climb;
So take my hand, let's face the world...
And live just one day at a time.
You're not alone, for I'm still here,
I'll go that extra mile;
And when your grief is easier,
I'll help you learn to smile!

Posted: 4/28/2008 3:31:31 PM | Finding the sunshine
is easier than you think,
but first, fill in the foxholes
and look skyward.
I never found my feet
to be that interesting,
but the cloud formations
have such beauty
and mystery
to their shapes.
I love painting pictures
with the clouds,
finding names for each
creation, until the sun claims
the sky once again,
taking over my artwork
and reshaping it
all over again. | |

Posted: 5/2/2008 5:36:07 AM | sweet gentle thoughts waiting here cushion the blows of life...... i am truly blessed.
once i was a dream
where all worlds
were born within me
where i wore a coat
whose hem trailed
soft swirls of hope
and my wounds were
glowing votives
within the eyes of god | |

Posted: 5/2/2008 3:16:11 PM | smiles heard
two souls singing together
orbiting the same hope
we are wild enchantment!
thanks ash, you , as always, are too too kind
Oh yes!
Be brave my heart
as I enter quietly
the wide continent of old age
that land not kind to woman
its dark edges dimpling darkly
around my fear as I run quicker now
trying to outpace the shadows
ready to wither me
anchor me to hopelessness.
Already I feel defeated
mired in fusty late fifties
fear's dimensions bolstered
by the debris of a lifetime of defeats
sharpening the edges of singular,
the enormity of what time thieves
crescendoing, echoing endlessly
inside my resistant soul.
You there! Yes You! Fisherman!
Are you sure
you cannot
reel me in?
I do not need forever
I just need NOW
and a pair of tweezers
for the chin hairs. | |

Posted: 5/2/2008 9:21:40 PM | okaaaaaaaaay.................soooooooooooo...........this may be a little "red" of me.....but "my give a damn's busted".........
this ain't my business
and this ain't my thread
but that IS a dear friend
to which you've been lead
by some strange way
what it is, I care not
but howzabout you take your anger elsewhere
like somewhere you can rot....
ain't no "fruits" in your spirit
except the ones that are already rotten
when the sands of the hourglass have stopped
you will easily be forgotten | |

Posted: 5/2/2008 9:32:08 PM | I second that emotion!^^^^
speak no evil:
poison daggers
poison tongues
burn souls
but never spirits
what does the mirror see?
on a scale of 1 -10?
did you say 5?
think again!
negative breeds negative,
it's only home
the pits of hades!
Poof!
be gone! | |

Posted: 5/3/2008 10:28:40 AM | AHHHHHHH, dissing in iambic pentameter...how refreshing!!!!! It's hard to see your point of view micro... oops, sorry, macro, because it is so far up your assssss, and such head location is a wonderful asset to have I would think because then you can chew your food twice and sit on a carton of icecream and tell what flavor it is. Actually I am not wiccan, I lean more toward buddhism, because it is enlightening to affirm reincarnation as a reality because nobody can be as stupid as you in one lifetime. We Buddhists also practice a lot of mind over matter.....and sweetheart I don't mind because you don't matter....so if I could just quote Thomas Sayers Ellis here????

Posted: 5/3/2008 10:36:54 AM | | Those that live in glass houses need not throw rocks. Making up for what you don't have by intimidation isn't working for me...cease the rudenss. I always heard if you couldn't say something nice to another, still your tongue. Apparently your keyboard and mouth are interchangable? What of religion? Yours? Hers? Mine? There are many voices, many outlooks, much hatred (obviously) and fear for things unknown. Broaden your horizons & open your eyes. Instead of alienating, there could be potential to create a bridge of friendship and learn something from another. I'm sorry for your loss and proud to call Swan my friend. | |

Posted: 5/3/2008 11:54:15 AM | | juju, mandrake and ash, thank you so much for your litter patrol, but we have already wasted 3 seconds on this piece of garbage, which is far far too much and not worth our precious time. What is extremely sad about this person is that we all lament in our soul the prejudices which halocausted his people, but he is mired in it himself and a sad sad acolyte of the doctrine of intolerance and hate which attempted to annihilate his race. | |

Posted: 5/3/2008 1:16:14 PM | Better late than never, I think "swans" dine upon worms, don't they?.......lol
Blessed in a souls touch
nourishing the soil in which the worms eat
regurgitating
ciphering
leaving VALUABLE fertilizer
for the rest of the garden to feed upon!!
Love Ya Dear!! | |

Posted: 5/3/2008 2:30:57 PM | no
let's not eat his poison
let's not feed on his garbage
and grow in hatred
coming down down down
to the darkness
we are light circling outward
stars creating new life
and the living air
in which to forgive
the clouded minds
with flame throwers for tongues.
we rise from their flames
the smudged ash of them
anger so ready to be angry
the wounds they do not want to heal
are their cancers uncurable | |

Posted: 5/11/2008 8:45:42 AM | after 19 hours of labor
all of life came surging toward me
gathering to a tight knot in my throat
a choking
then a collapse
the nurse laughing
"he won't break! hold him firmer!"
already i was a bad mother
shamed i held him tighter
for in the looseness of youth
all change and impermanence
what knew i of this forever hold
this eternity scrunched, red faced, fragile
this tidal flowing forever
holding not only life
but this immense love
my life now was wrapped in | |
