PEACEFUL SLUMBER  IN  THE FOR  REST  OF  THE MIND - by  Michael Levy Listen! How sweet sings the breeze, merrily off trees, whispering wonderment, the ear quietly it does please, nurturing souls, drifting to Celestial splendor, beauty unfolds, as into peaceful slumber, coils surrender. Castles in the sky, growing columns of inspired aspiration, silver shadows flowing through all generations, warm cocoons of mortality, linked by silken threads, webs of lives where comfort embeds. Serenely rests the head of time, pillows puff by wisps of the sublime, mellow moments spark a fusion sphere, perfumed gardens alight, dancing nymphs are near. Oh mindful forest flower, rivers many bridges cross, branches leaved with neurons, invisible flakes of frost, tender is the night, spirits lovingly caress, sleep well my children, aware God will bless.

Smith Cool White Slippery Steps ring out in the hollow hall Passing Quickly Down A narrow corridor, cups ratting, Coming Silently Softly Against the night's blazing pain © Rev. Harry A.

ECLIPSE by   Dana Stephenson The paleness of the moon punctures my eye. Focusing on its intense beauty, I squint, Letting the light break into shards in length upon my lashes. Like marbled pearl it reins on high. I wish to pluck it from the blackness Which swamps itself everywhere, Sticking like tar, Yet its cloak is light and airy. Then I could place its crystal brightness In my mouth in a curious flavor, And let it dissolve in an illuminating fashion of connectedness. Its beauty would be one with me, And its essence would glow within, Stolen from its careful placement, Decorated so accordingly with the stars. It would be missed. © Dana Stephenson  Cradle Me For A while by   Hope Can I cry upon your shoulder When I'm feeling a little weak Place strong arms around me No need for words to speak If and when I'm feeling down Weak and emotions are low Will you hold me close to you Stroke my cheeks as tears flow Wipe each tear with gentle fingers In silence bring a kiss to my cheek Hold me, rock me in your arms Give me strength when I am weak Let your love flow through me Vanish my tears , return my smile The touch of love felt in your arms Would you cradle me for awhile © Hope

NIGHT DREAMSby  jackson1 In silent slumber you draw me in To dance upon the water to rest within the wind The darkness over takes me I began to see How time space and distance is the real fantasy What's real becomes the nightmare What's true becomes the dream Lost among the slumber nights of endless scenes Souls that move together to dance upon the dark To love without touching to fan the hottest spark To see you in the distance to long to touch your face To feel your hands upon me to turn and find you gone To scream in silent slumber to wake again alone How fleeting is the passion that holds you in the night That melts away by morning with the dawning of first light The darkness hides the secret that we refuse to see Of love lost and longing that draws you back to me © jackson1

Personality by   STE96036736 You don't always keep the cards that get dealt Emotions discovered, some never felt Identification from the brain to the toe, From the angel of goodness To the devil you know For every situation there's a change in the mask The Yin-Yang is morphing to deal with the task Nature? Nuture? that's who you become Experience moulds everyone. Personality guides you through the day Which reflects your life on judgment day. © STE96036736

 

From the Windowby   Garrett King Etches of frost, artistic design, the gentle finger of Winter is tapping. The steeple is distant, while the trees rest neath their blanket of fresh fallen snow. The whisper of the wind is gently howling, and the stars are so very bright tonight. The quiet is calming, the sight of falling snow neath the street lights is peaceful, and the warmth of my soul fills me with joy. © Garrett King  The End of Innocence by   Bettleslydia Innocent as a child, she dreams of heaven Never ending, yet still beginning She can draw an angel down from above And fly upon its wings She dances in the wind Like a summer rose that opens in the morning Her eyes shine as bright as the morning dew That looks like diamonds in the sunlight Her face is like a garden of white lilies The color of oriental pearls Her hair as golden as the sun on its brightest day With eyes as green as emeralds She's become a full-blown flower With all its glorious beauty A surpassing beauty The very flower of her youth © Bettleslydia 1999  TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME by   Andrew J Canfield Tell me that you love me Whisper it into my ear. Kiss me on my lips Then kiss me again,      my dear. Touch me like I am the snow As gentle as a breeze. Hold me close to your heart, Then even closer, if you please. Look at me with loving eyes Warm and tender and true. Wrap your arms around me and say,           "I love you. I do." © Andrew J Canfield
