"Poems are like a spider's web
Spun with words of wonder
Woven lace held in place
By whispers made of thunder"
~unknown~
I love words
any and all words
Words that smile, cry, hurt and love
they are magical to me, they have power
And to those who speak them
honestly
Words that smile, cry, hurt and love
Those words
are alive
breathing
through pages
of poetry
Sympathy - Emily Bronte
There should be no despair for you
While nightly stars are burning;
While evening pours its silent dew,
And sunshine gilds the morning.
There should be no despair--though tears
May flow down like a river:
Are not the best beloved of years
Around your heart for ever?
They weep, you weep, it must be so;
Winds sigh as you are sighing,
And winter sheds its grief in snow
Where Autumn's leaves are lying:
Yet, these revive, and from their fate
Your fate cannot be parted:
Then, journey on, if not elate,
Still, NEVER broken-hearted!
Just a note: Only poems marked "Personal" are personal ... most is just an overactive imagination and empathy taking its toll through words ...
