forgotten already

This line is already in memoryevery thought of feeling or emotionI ever experience, will one dayvanish, like the dodo ...I am content to live in now I have fallen to ground enough times to know,I will forget the fall and it will only be on the spin of the next,that my memory will surface good thing about memoryit conveniently forgets, carving each word my wrist bonesache, from strings of memory,But I know it will not make me immortal,it just provides comfort Burning my name in the moonwill only be blown away by comets,plummeting to obliterate every curve,every dash and dot Leonardo Da Vinci speaks to me even now,and I know, one day away,only the stars will remember my gaze I brush my cheek with death'sand know that it will be enough

Oh how you shine, you ARE a star,

Ann of Norway Oh how you shine, you ARE a star, you need no addition of stars, you shine for us all here with your deliberate and beautiful philosophy of life, you paint for us pictures, small parables of existence, teaching us so gently, with such delicacy of expression that we feel we find those most beautiful shells, those tiny pink ones, opaque and so very very lovely, on the beach of our pages each time we find one of your poems, they come, like the shells, with the ebb and flow of the tides in your mind, they pulsate out to us and are left there for us to find, and when we do we treasure them as our own, we thereby treasure you, your heart and life, your love, your attitude of positive thinking and we bow in awe at you, yes we do, and now its me who has tears pouring down her cheeks, dear dear sweet and wonderful Jayne you are so so special here, how can we say it, give of ourselves to strengthen you and show you that we love you? Bon chance toujours! Ann. Happy Valentine's day.

I think thats a wonderful

I think thats a wonderful thought to have been one of the birds he set free, want to know something funny ?? my brother raced pigeons when I was a child hes a lot older than me lol and I let them all out feeling sorry for them ... imagine my horror when they all came back ... I was six thinking I had liberated all those birds and every single one of them came back ... lol my dad sat me down that night and explained they are trained to come back ... you know what my answer was ?? 'daddy do they ever forget?' lol ... I just didnt like them in the cages ... and still remember that all these years later love millions of hugs dear lady , Jayne-Chloe x x x

A question of self worth?

We are all but blinks in the light of the stars, and yet the value of our living that very awareness. You matter Jayne....you matter to many who are sometimes blinded and sometimes comforted by the gentle glow of your very own unique light. Shine on Seabhac

Little Lady

The time passes and hurt becomes a memory as you know, the Spirit you are is unhurtable and yours has learnt so much in giving to others your words and thoughts, even when the world of physical things is set to test you time and time again. We live to learn then some, to enhance a Spirit that is a wonderful thing, the beauty of this thing we hold inside surpasses all of our thougts of beauty and understanding. Thank you Little lady of this earth that you walk with us each day and we cherish each day of our journey together. You know that we will walk together for always and as there is no time it will have to be a trip to eternity and then beyond. You have a lovely Valentines day with those that are close to you and smell the Roses, Yours Ian.T
