How true it is that a handwritten letter can reveal such profound emotions, and you've put it all in this one poem. Beautiful.

Indeed we are NOT alone..it is a fact that has been established a while now..what we need to do is to accept a whole new way of thinking..according to the Maya Calender we are in the throes of collective consciousness..open your sensors..I know you'll see what I getting at..the Gallactic connection is already in action!
Exceptional write..

A Lonely Shore (Poetry) - 6/19/2008 8:21:56 AM
So profound a write, makes you think absolutely loved it. This shore we live on is not lonely at all, Inhabited by all and then some. Aliens coming in from wherever seem to want to take over our shores too. Let us pray they don't.

We don't know if life exists anywhere else out there. Maybe it does, people are always sighting weird objects and saying they have been abducted. It is a strange world and God has many secrets he has not let us know about.

Warm and rejuinating and yes there are other life forms out there in the vast universe, we just have not met up with any YET.....
Be always safe,

You are right... the cadence of this poem brings to mind Andean music... a sound all its own!

Miracle (Poetry) - 3/18/2008 10:18:02 AM
I grew up on an egg farm... when we sold all of the chickens to give up our business for a more profitable one, we had to cut the heads off the chickens for the buyers. Dirty work... bleck! We always were amazed to see the chickens run, after the deed was done...

Irises (Poetry) - 1/25/2008 7:53:29 PM
An engaging, lilting paean to one of my/our favorite spring flowers, Donald, with age rearing its continuing hold on Past. Your symbolism, sweet. Reasoning overcoming past, with love and vision, illuminates the reader. I think it's the fragileness of iris flowers, blooming from stalks of spears, kissed by early sunshine and tears of cool rains, which, um, 'refresh' us. So gorgeous, the blooms, so tough and guarding, it's form of leaves.
