Ode to Poet's Corner
still not the drums from distant hedge they call to us of prose and pen and gather we as twilight sighs no longer but words but face meeting eyes and strip from your flesh your veils of cloth and naked stand your passions sought fe
Who Are We?
Who are the Poets after all- But a people without whom we would have to confront the void in our own echoing hearts? the symbol of our phoenix yearning to rise on the ashes of death? Who are the Poets after all- But people of a dream movi
KSENIYA SIMONOVA - ACROSTIC TRIBUTE
Impressive feat being the first Ukrainian Got Talent champion but more so for her gentle nature and humility...giving the glory to God instead of her own abilities...and for having a heart...a giving heart to those in need...

"Price"
Keep looking down and you don’t see the chances you miss. Forever you will be holding on to a wish. Make the most of today. Foul emotions may make you sway but bad times never stay. Everyone have a finite existence, a set number of days. Live li
To thy Celtic Lady on a Journey with No End
I once knew, and still know, this woman, not only known as Lady, but a true lady of the word, in every aspect. I guess I was just, one of the lucky ones, and privileged ones, to see how true love, from someone's heart, can make everyone
~Forks on the road~
I got to thinking tonight about how so many people keep making the same pained mistakes in their life, if only they could come out of the box, if only for a minute to see.............

Hope is the think with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all. And sweetest in the gale is herad; And sore must be the storm That could bash the little bird That kept so many warm.

Happiness is bad!
An article I came across in the Internet and translated for you. Don't know the author, and this is not my opinion, but I agree with the advice given by the scholars: the more you think about being happy and such things the less happy you feel.

I am thankful to God for each and every day of seeing the beauties of His creation all around!!!
Life!
Life can be queer with its twists and turns But never let joy be overshadowed by concerns No one can hurt you without your permission Love each and all without a condition Try and fail; but don’t fail to try Don’t let the day go by with just
