Tonight the wind gnaws with teeth of glass The jackdaw shivers in caged branches of iron The stars have talons There is hunger in the mouth of vole and badger Silver agonies of breath in the nostril of the fox Ice on the rabbit’s paw Tonight has no moon, no food for the pilgrim The fruit tree is bare, the rose bush a thorn And the ground is bitter with stones But the mole sleeps and the hedgehog lies curled in a womb of leaves And the bean and the wheat seed hug their germs in the earth And a stream moves under the ice Tonight there is no moon But a star opens like a trumpet over the dead And tonight in a nest of ruins the blessed babe is laid And the fir tree warms to a bloom of candles And the child lights his lantern and stares at his tinsel toy And our hearts and hearths smoulder with live ashes In the blood of our grief the cold earth is suckled In our agony the womb convulses its seed And in the last cry of anguish The child’s first breath is born Thanks to Richard Headey for contributing this poem. by Laurie Lee

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path god laid for me. I took His hand whenI heard Him call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that place at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much. Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don't lenghten it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now, He set me free. "I Miss My Brother JIMMY & My Aunt DONETTE Very Much...I Love Them So Much..." God Bless Us All!

In A Place, That Won't Let Us Feel. In A Life, Where Nothing Seem's Real. I Have Found You.

"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen." Happy Holiday's to all! God Bless!

Out of a world of laughter Suddenly I am sad. . . Day and night it haunts me, The kiss I never had. Sydney King Russell

I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair. Silent, starving I prowl through the streets. Bread does not nourish me, dawn disquiets me, I search the liquid sound of your steps all day. I hunger for your sleek laugh, For your hands the color of the wild grain, I hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails, I want to eat your skin like a whole almond. I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your loveliness, The nose, sovereign of your arrogant face, I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes, And I walk hungry, smelling the twilight Looking for you, for your hot heart, Like a puma in the barren wilderness. Pablo Neruda
