Never Forgotten

Breathe in deep the sheltered sea
Whose mist holds mystic memory
The stars are falling one by one
Into the rays cast by the sun

To settle now with mornings dew
A memory lost that never grew
Hold them gently within your heart
Remembering love does not depart

Breathe in deep the sunrise hue
Another fine day to start anew
Step by step in forward motion
Memories kept with deep devotion

Poet friend, Robert Johnson, inspired this write. 
The first 4 lines were taken and adapted from
his words in a comment made on one of my poems.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/10/2013 8:13:00 PM hey, thanks for bringing my attention to that. I had decided to make tomcat as one word instead of two TOm cat, and in doing so, I messed up that line count (forgetting all about having to keep nine words per line). I have not even entered it in the contest yet! soon! time for me to hurry off here. Luv, Andrea Login to Reply

Cyndi Macmillan Date: 1/10/2013 11:47:00 AM Hey, I stopped in here because of your blog, and I am so glad I did! This is wonderful, fluid and classic. I loved all the elements which you've melded together. There is such a tender mix of pain and hope in this one. And I loved the alliteration... just good stuff. I am truly sorry I don't drop by more often, and I will try to do so... I am a selfish poet who loves to write and when I finally get my daughter asleep, I write write write... Hugs Cyndi PS my fave line is the second...hmmm...brb Login to Reply Debra Squyres Date: 1/10/2013 12:00:00 PM I'm so happy you did stop by !! Thank you for reading and commenting !! We all are busy and I sometimes do not get to all the pages myself. But, when I do, like you just did, I read and comment. Blessings to you and yours.

God bless. Lucilla Login to Reply Debra Squyres Date: 1/10/2013 11:37:00 AM Thank you for the returned visit and the comment. Blessing to you !! Love when others inspire a write also.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/9/2013 9:33:00 PM robert is so great at doing rhyming comments, isn't he? And just look what he inspired here in YOU!! That's what the Soup community is all about. I think you are the one whose blog I read today, right? I just don't understand how so many poets can click on a poem and not even make one little comment. I think you must be "old school" like me. I fear that we are a dying breed!!! Login to Reply Debra Squyres Date: 1/10/2013 11:39:00 AM Robert needs to take more of his comments and continue them out to form his own poems !! He is a very talented writer !! Thank you for dropping by and yes, I guess I am old school...do unto others as you'd have them do unto you. I hope we never become a dying breed my friend !!
