Some place's, some things and some people
glow with a brightness that draws us to them.
Many of them draw us into times long ago,
as they are legends of love and romance,
gallantry, convictions of heart and soul.
Most that draw us touched by the past
inspire us to our dreams of the future;
concepts and ideals our hearts value.
They are the objects of childhood fantasy,
morals, manners of respect and longings.
We can admire such things of the past,
create them in our dreams of the future
and are fortunate to feel such brightness
of those that shine in the light of the present.
I read of many things, times and places
and I am touched by the middle ages.
Stories of battlement walls, Castle Montsegur
and the whispers of it's ruins in southern France.
The Incas on a mountain top in the Andes,
in the ancient ruins of Macchu Picchu in Peru.
How can one not be drawn to rising sun,
peace and beauty, romance and light.
We are the future of their dreams.
I could not claim to know or have been
in the times or realm of these places
yet they are legends of my past.
Therefore they are in my dreams of the future
I am drawn to their light as I am to light of the present.
We all have the potential to be visionary
some call it telepathic, others psychic,
but whatever you call it, it is comfort,
instinct of heart and sense of friendship,
someone we feel the glow of their essence.
Not of past legend or future dreams
but of present light and glowing premonitions.
Cupcrazy, to me, is one such beacon,
she exudes her heart in her poetry and personality.
Accomplished with grace and elegance,
she glows with the light of presence and soul.
I can not claim to be little more than an admirer,
but what I am does not dim the brightness of her soul
nor does it mean I cannot see her natural lights glow.
In the serenity of Mountain tarn
where mirrored surface reflect inspiration
in the ripples crossing still waters
one can hear silent echo's singing,
their melodies to distant shores.
Soon to be, still waters once again
mirrored mountain inspirations,
serenities beauty of Cupcrazy's reflecting tarn.

What a magnificent understanding you show here of the effect one life, one voice, has on the lives of those around them, and even those afar off. Bunny has just such a voice, and her light does move us, changes us as you say. Truly wonderful!
