The Ordinary Man

  Think of me as a dreamAs you grow oldA shimmer of starlightIn your ordinary world.Subtly cutting through time and space. A glimpse of your soulWas the reason I choose youAmongst the teeming million livesIt showed an extraordinary moment in your lifeA word, a touch, a gesture perhapsAnd you became an extraordinary manFor just one moment. It was enough to implant in your soulA seed of magnificence It is within you,Allow it to growOr the pain of my journeyWill have been futile.

love reading your work.But

love reading your work.But remember the only seeds that grow, are those thrown on fertile ground. But to those who love the earth will never be barren. .....o sorry! the father in me just can,t not do that.

You have to believe you are

You have to believe you are loved , really loved to be fertile to the growth of love. We forget too easily the sacrifices of loving and the wonderful light it shines on all life. We fall in love but we also fall out of it...so where is love and what is love... I am a very curious person. Thanks you for taking the time to read this

Thank you Darknlovely3436

Reality and dreams are seperated by a thin line...do we make our dreams come true by believing they can? We are never powerless if we have a voice thank you for visiting

Dear Seabhac

A really wonderful poem. I have no words to tell you how much I like these words, from start to finish. It has elegance, fluidity, sentiment, in a word, a poem full of love. I have nothing to criticize, it's perfect! With much love and respect, Hugo

Because you had the courage,

Because you had the courage, honesty and time in my previous work ( which I still need to edit and look at again ) to give me constructive critism , these comments are pure gems to me. Thank you Gentle regards
