Death

On that fateful night at ten
I saw you walking down the lane
Your hand was on her shoulder
And there was spring in your step
                    I stood on the terrace watching you go
                    Fear clutching at my heart
                    The reality of it all came on me
                     The hope within died a sudden death
I waited for the tears to come
I waited for the pain to begin
But the tears had frozen to ice
And the heart had turned to stone
                    Time went by
                    And life regained its normal course
                    Hard and cruel they called me
                    And a statue I became
Then on a cold winter morn
Came a gust of warm wind
The dark, kind and lively eyes
And the circle of soothing arms
                     My cheeks became wet
                     My heart went a pit-pat
                     I could smell the earth again
                     And hear the birds sing
But the harsh winter froze the warm wind
And the frost began to settle
Passerby looking at me would say
She is not dying…….. she is dead.


Premium Member March Into Spring

His icy grip comes loose at last.
   His blanket cannot but recede,
Like tides that breached a floodgate, he
Her coming can no more impede.

She saunters in, a slow sashay 
      enrobed in freshly scented cape  
that wakes the buds and songbird tune
      as shades of shamrock swathe the scape.
 
It is no place for charcoal greys,
   and barren boughs on colours feed 
Like tides that breached a floodgate, he
Her coming can no more impede.

As much awaited zephyrs blow, 
you sneeze out pollen, heartbeats pep

The season’s vibes can’t help but show..  
A spring for the journal..  spring in your step.

Premium Member Being In Love

Falling in love starts out crazy, saturates your life, permeates your soul, and creates a new you.
It gloriously envelopes you which is terrific, when the object of your desire loves you too.
True love is capable of taking you over so completely that reason gives up trying to get through.
At first you cannot hear her any way, and when you do, you resent her, and shut her down.

In a few months your personal wants, needs, desires, and goals fall by the wayside, virtually disappear.
There is a glow about your face, and a spring in your step that you have never had before, and may never have again.
Your mind tries her best to alert you, but you are completely lost in the terrific feeling of being in love.
This is why some people switch out mates every six years or so, to experience this insane, “new” feeling.
The mind is not easy to squelch, but you can do it, if you want to, and you do.  

You do not want to hear things that are practical, or futuristic. “Being in love” is totally in the now.
Your practical dendrites yell and scream and try to reach you in your dreams while you are dreaming of him or her. 
You may be asleep, but you still get angry when the mind tries to boss you around.
The only thing that is important to you right now, the thing you live for, and breathe for is being in love.

Isn’t that just dandy?  Yes, it certainly is, until it isn’t.

Premium Member This Is My Wish For You Today

May wonderful things come your way. 
That is my wish for you today.
May your hopes and dreams become all true.
May your heart be nurtured through and through.
May you see your loved ones who have passed on.
They will come in dreams, the second you yawn.
May you walk with a little extra spring in your step.
May you have an unusual amount of great pep.
May you have a lively, exciting, thrilling day.
People will run toward you to laugh and to pray.
I wish that the most wonderful things will come your way.
Hopefully a terrific friend will come and play.
Hopefully all the best of the best things will happen for you.
You will get to do things you have always wanted to do.

Premium Member Howdy, Y'All!

Nothing warms the cockles of the heart like a cheery, "Hello!"
'Twill put a spring in your step and set your face aglow!
'Tis nice to hear a southern lass say, "Hi, shuga, how y'all!"
Or be greeted with a lusty, "Howdy" by a Texan's drawl!

A sunny greeting is welcome no matter what the language.
It brightens your neighbor's day and kinship it will assuage.
In Japan from the south in Okinawa to the north in Misawa,
Folks bow low and say to one another, "Konnichiwa!"

In France, noted for its exquisite cuisine and chic haute couture,
Gentlemen doff their chapeaux and wish a cordial, "Bon jour!"
Jewish brethern acknowledge others with a calming, "Shalom!"
While Muslim folks will greet you with the traditional, "Salaam!"

The Aussies have a delightful way their greeting to convey.
They lighten everyone's day by simply saying to you, "G'day!"
Spanish folks say, "Bueno dias!" to folks they happen to greet.
Germans hail others with, "Guten Tag!" strolling along the street!

Alas, the babble of languages may not be quite understood,
But just one small gesture might help to foster brotherhood!
If we'd take time to greet each other and flash a friendly smile,
'Twould surely make someone's day and life seem more worthwhile!
