We see them popping up on random streets in a neighbourly outreach kind of way. We don't know who to thank since no one steps up to claim the credit but it's the community as a whole who benefits in many wondrous ways. The suburbs are delighted to champion these ecofriendly gifts of sharing ~ not only charming but welcomed pointers that goodwill and...

The Last Exchange
While the sun was slipping away You left me With a gifted moment A moment that lessened fears Yet hastened tears A moment that spoke to me Yet set you free A moment that caressed my heart Yet put apart A moment that fostered giving Yet nurtured living A moment that clarified a decision Yet cleared my vision While the sun was slipping away You left me With a gifted...

Premium Member Duplicitous Exchange
One day, a trout approached a fly, and, giving her a hungry eye, said, "I just came to take a look", but I must tell you, with a sigh, that, sadly, some fishes baldly lie, and this one caught a treble hook. ...

Foreign Exchange
I planned futures with you, but your happiness came first. When anger calls, you shut off I must stay composed, must communicate, must hold it all together. Smile. Talk nice. The bare minimum is not enough. Imagine giving your life to someone who would build with you, then leave when joy runs dry. Words once meant something. Vows weren’t meant to break. I could climb mountains, cross oceans, fly the...

Just how many babies Are swapped at birth With a look alike other That other being Some demon or some Illegal Alien exchange program Being covertly done Right under our very noses In broad daylight In maternity wards worldwide I should know Being born with bi-fid thumbs And six toes on each foot Yet, it...

Premium Member Crow Quarrel - A Human Exchange
Two angry crows Perched high in a tree Covered in snow Dancing the breeze Broken branches sway And decrepit leaves Fall A moment in time Without resolve Leaning in to see A quarrel of greed A nut, perhaps a seed Stolen in need Three angry crows Perched high in a tree I glanced for a moment Laughed And walked away Reaching the house The arguing fades Perhaps, a meeting of the minds But, who's to...

exchange ExcellencE exquisitely
Ex is gone I am glad I moved on I am not sad Ex is gone I am content I moved on No resentment Feeling excellent Feeling exquisite Exchanging smiles For many miles For many miles For many, many miles We were rivers apart When you stole my heart You tore me truly apart but not this time… but not this time… but not this time… Sometimes, I wish I was no more Sometimes, I wish...

FAIR EXCHANGE
FAIR EXCHANGE Truth for a truth, it’s fair exchange Cashless transactions may seem strange In the open air, and no booth It’s fair exchange, truth for a truth Not quite barter, even trading In unknown waters you’re wading Not taught in your Alma Mater Even trading, not quite barter Just swapping stuff, no currency The practice is getting stronger Parties think trust may be enough No currency,...

If I should Exchange My Soul
If I should exchange my soul, would you be with me before I grow old? If I should exchange my soul would you accompany me to Mount Fuji to see the ecstatic talked about scenery? If I should exchange my soul would you fly with me around the world? If I should exchange my soul would...

Premium Member Void of polarity exchange -ITQ
Melding with sunset’s fading light Before the day turned into night Magnetism rose, heightened delight I drew in God’s grace, byte by byte The happenstance was simply this From head to toe, I felt pure bliss Caress of Divine Mother’s kiss Rapture leaving nothing amiss Void of polarity exchange Oft gives birth to soul stirrings strange Enhancing vibrational range Signalling it’s time for a...

Premium Member Attraction
Looking across the room our eyes make contact A stunning lady it’s time to react I leave my chair to walk across the room As I draw closer the air fills with sweet perfume The band on stage begins to play A dance with her would surely make my day Out of her chair, she springs...

Tempting to look to tomorrow In an attempt to control the future To thwart the tension in our bones That we carry about the unknown Less capacity in the here and now Since leaning ahead leaves behind The ability for us to fully embrace What is right in front of our face Alternative routes are available Instead of solving the next step Try...
