If You Are Lonely

If you are lonely watch the birds In their freedom of flight-- Feel the warmth of the sun Kiss your cheeks and smile Visit the shore and listen to The waves sing sweet songs Close your eyes and smell the Fragrant flowers of spring Transport yourself through Time’s great abyss In memories of streams that Flow with a youthful glow. . . Dive in pools of aqua waters Through your mind’s eye Delight in the breezes playful Mood as the trees sway in tune Listen to the purr of a Contented cat in your lap Write a letter to yourself And promise to answer. . . Better yet write a poem, One that will linger long In someone’s lonely mind.

This is like opening up the pages of a writers' diary and staring in silence at the page. It is a solid expression of intermost thoughts, not jumbled or artifical, but grounded and real. Aloha, yourself. So, you are in the land of the new native government and formerly policed by Jack Lord? I have always wanted to visit there-especially Diamondhead and Pearl Harbor. That must be beautiful. Regards, Gerard and thank you, Miss Connie.

This reminds me of that other one i loved so much of yours from a month or two ago. I like best when you write these kinds of poems. I think I better fav this one too!! by the way, the only limerick I can use for a contest is the alien one. I'll just keep posting old limericks until ST. Paddy's day! Luv, Andrea
