    I never thought I had poetry in me..never tried before..
    but this just came out of the blue a few weeks ago in a quiet moment..
    maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't,
    but it came from my heart.


    Gaia
    an orb
    a piece of rock
    spinning through the heavens..
    then
    placed here
    were us
    guardians in trust..
    we planted
    we grew
    we saw the beauty
    but then..
    we needed
    we got greedy
    more needy
    and now..
    we kill
    we lie
    we cheat
    we destroy
    the beauty we saw..
    and Gaia waits
    and waits
    and waits
    just waits
    for us to see
    the beauty again
    to protect
    and heal
    plant a seed
    that we may
    again
    be guardians in trust
    spinning through the heavens
    on Gaia
    an orb
    a piece of rock...

    :) There's a lady I see often in a city near me, I tried to talk to her once, but she just looked through me...
    maybe one day she will trust enough to stop and talk, and I can put a name to this poem that I wrote about her...


    black sacks and a lady, red cheeks to her face
    from the wind, rain and sun she looks for a place
    she wanders the streets in the light
    and the dark
    alone with her thoughts, p'raps a place in the park
    wrapped up in her world, most people ignore her
    a mother to child says
    "look.. don't go near
    she's got a trolley and I can see cider"
    maybe once she was happy
    had a life in the past
    now it's just in her head
    did the world get too fast
    does anyone care
    they just stand and stare
    but
    she smiles as she goes
    on her way all alone
    the lady
    black sacks
    and
    a
    can.
    :flowers:

    thank you freakymetalchik..:)

    I've spent some time now reading the poetry here, a lot of very talented people...
    you too...
    yours have such sadness about them..

    I guess maybe the best words come when we're either very happy, or very sad..

    mine were just words that popped into my head, written quickly..

    :) I used to share my life for many years with Bearded Collies..

    This extract from the book "Owd Bob - the Grey Dog of Kenmuir," by Alfred Ollivant inspired me to write the poem below...

    "Should you, while wandering in the wild sheep land, happen on the moor or in the market upon a very perfect gentle knight, clothed in dark grey habit, splashed here and there with rays of the moon; free by right divine of the guild of gentleman, strenuous as a prince, lithe as a rowan, graceful as a girl, with high king carriage... should have a noble breadth of brow, and air of still strength born of right confidence, all unassuming; last and most unfailing test for all, should you look into two snow clad eyes, calm, wistful, inscrutable, their soft depths clothed on with sadness... know then that you look upon one of the line of the most illustrious sheepdogs of the North"



    He was alone
    she had gone
    they took her away today, those men in black
    he didn't understand,
    the voices were quiet
    and
    he'd hidden away.
    now the door was shut
    a deathly hush
    descended
    and
    it was getting dark, getting late
    where would he sleep
    he decided to wait
    she'd never let him down
    she had always been there
    so he sat
    and he waited
    it became light
    the hunger
    the thirst
    the cold
    the tiredness
    would the waiting end
    she wouldn't let him down
    the door would open
    she'd scratch his ears
    fill the bowl with food
    take the leash from the hook
    whisper "walkies"
    he'd jump and spin
    his tail would wag
    but
    the door didn't open
    would never open
    again
    he was alone
    and still
    he
    waited

    communication...


    clouds scudding
    moon hiding
    heart racing
    tears flowing

    phone ringing
    breath stopping
    voice talking
    eyes clearing

    heart slowing
    face smiling
    lips kissing
    sun shining

    Love growing

    :smile:

    :) I found this today amongst other things I had written..
    had forgotten about it.
    It was written for a friend at the end of last year.
    .
    Today..

    This day is a special day, it is yours.
    Yesterday slipped away, it cannot be filled anymore with meaning.
    About tomorrow nothing is known.
    But this day, today, is yours..make use of it.
    Today you can make someone happy.
    Today you can help another.
    Today you can make a difference,
    This day is a special day, it is yours.

    :) I spent some time there yesterday reading part of that thread..too much to take in at one go..
    will keep going back and getting inspired.

    when I woke this morning, this popped into my thoughts, and I wrote it down quickly..


    .
    ~~~~~:)~~~~~

    am I the oak in forest deep
    among the moss, forever to sleep?
    will I wake, to see the dawn
    where love reigns upon the morn.?

    Oh yes....
    I woke,
    I saw,
    I felt,
    I soar.
