, originally uploaded by Davidlind.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. ~From a headstone in Ireland

to each manly soul that sleepeth;
Rest to each faithful eye that weepeth…
~Thomas Moore

Better than honor and glory, and History’s iron pen,
Was the thought of duty done and the love of his fellow-men.
~Richard Watson Gilder

How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes! ~

The Place Beyond the Words

Posted September 15th, 2008 by David and filed in My poems, My writing

Dawn Rapture

The good things begin

When we go beyond the words

Music is the wing

That takes us there

Or love

Or a photo that touches the heart

Poetry can take us

Or a twenty mile run.

So many ways

We can go

We need to go.

As you read these words

Imagine you are standing

Behind yourself

Watching yourself

Read this

In a place beyond the words.

"Days of our Lives"/ Let Your Hair Down/ Poem About Love

*

*
*

The evening has left us

Quietly to ourselves.

I watch you move before the mirror

Releasing all the catches and the stays

The predictable moments and habitual ways

Until a lamp light soft reveals

Your moving presence and my cautious appeal.

Can I reach the glistening  in your eyes

And hold you in my arms?

A prayer weaves its way

Above

As we explore

The promises of love.
