Good gracious, CG .. you win! :)

[Colonel_Flagg]

Thank you, feather! I love Anita Baker! (However did you know?) < grin >

[Colonel_Flagg]

Hey, I was supposed to say that! :)

[Soaring Feather]

Hi Colonel!!

How are you this evening? Hope you did not over do first day back and all.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Hi,feathers :)

I had work to do but I took it at a pretty good pace. I'm taking it very easy tonight but I'm determined to spend some time online with my friends before I hit the sack. Been away too long. =\

[Soaring Feather]

Well, we sure have missed you, but totally understand your need to rest as much as you can.

That was a real good Anita tune wasn't it?? I love her, too..

[Colonel_Flagg]

Pretty much anything Anita Baker records is wonderful. When the meds kick in and I heal up, you'll be able to get sick of me all over again ;)

[Soaring Feather]

So glad you are in high spirits. I am off to bed Colonel. Have fun.

[Soaring Feather]

Inspiration well is dry
my feet are bound
they cannot fly
Love has no song
to sing to me

a broken dream is
haunting me
elusive love has left
me bare with a trace of you
across my heart
your face is there
always near
unreachable always dear
A dark song sings of misery
of long dark nights
of dark days of pain
and always will your face
remain upon my heart

I have not
forgotten
you

[Colonel_Flagg]

A shadow of myself
Flops and flutters in the breeze
I watch it, mesmerized
Unable to reclaim what I am.

I see the wind dance
And carry myself away
It laughs, it mocks
This wind more powerful than me.

Though love's seraph choir
Is overpowered by the wind
Hope remains for me
You have not forgotten.

I watch as the cold wind
Carries myself away
A memory now takes its place
My shadow, your thoughts for me

I will always
remember
you

[Colonel_Flagg]

Good night - you seem to have found my muse!

[snippy_about_it]

I've only seen them once (I'm not that old!). Once while looking for property way out in the country there was one right before a bridge but the creek was up and the bridge covered by water making it impassable.

[snippy_about_it]

Hey, I was supposed to say that! :)

Indeed you were!

[Conspiracy Guy]

I always go for broke

[Soaring Feather]

Oh my..... that's lovely Colonel. Thank You.

[Soaring Feather]

Good Saturday morning everyone.

Like The Waves From The Shore



I must now ebb
The time has come
to sail my oceans

Rolling away from you
like the waves from the shore
rippling out to the vastness of the sea
that beckons my ship of folly
I'll not ask you
to stand the night vigil
on the shoreline
of memory

You are here
on the beaches of my memory
even though I drift the tides

If you should look
into a starlit night
and see a reflection of me
know only that
I will one day
come crashing again
to the shore
swept homeward
by the pull
of the tide
and
you

Good morning Sam.

Oh my, the lines from this poem really hit home this morning. Beautiful poem.

Thanks for everything as always. I will listen to the tunes through the day.

[SAMWolf]

Tommorow, I'll do a light hearted poem. :-)
