Rhyme<BR>
<BR>
Deep feelings felt, though not for you<BR>
Blessed am I to sing so true<BR>
The days are short, the nights too long<BR>
For you and I do not belong<BR>
The course has changed, the tide has passed<BR>
So many sailors fall to last<BR>
I sing to you, my love not found<BR>
Eternal lonlieness, I am bound<BR>
One day we'll sing of love so pure<BR>
But why, and how can I be sure<BR>
The days will go and leave us still<BR>
And things will move and keep a chill<BR>
But at the moment our paths meet<BR>
You'll find me there with tear on cheek<BR>
<BR>

Hey Blenderites,<BR>
<BR>
                If you haven't been recently, the wizards and hobbits have been hard at work in the garden...and have put in new eye candy, and gizmos to get around easier...they also have put in---and no, I'm not kidding.....A zen generator?<BR>
<BR>
                So please take a surf to Galadrial's Garden, and check out the new stuff...the zen generator is under the Local Color section..and the site is simply fun, mine or not!<BR>

Take care all.....<BR>

Well, we've had a change of plans. We're going to leave my computer with my mom and have Chris's parents send us his computer from New York. So I don't know when I'll be back again.<BR>
Rennie, thanks for your kind words. We love the "success" stories at your site!<BR>
Nikki, thanks for the compliment on my Moo poem. Chris and I are looking forward to corresponding with you again. If I can get Chris outta Texas, we'll meet you one of these days on my dream tour of the Pacific Northwest!<BR>

Chris just reminded me that I need to give everyone the scoop on our wedding stuff. Bless his heart, my stepdad just sat on his glasses. Anyway, I realize I submitted a sexist poem last night on my frustrations with my gender so this will be hypocritical of me. But here goes. I'm going to get married in a white, simple dress I just found at Dillard's. White roses in the back. Flatters the heck outta my ghetto booty. I'm going to wear my hair up and decorate it with little white rosebuds. I'll carry a bouquet of white, red, yellow and purple rosebuds. Fake ones. Our wedding rings are ten dollar silver claddaghs. We're getting married on a mountaintop at sunset. We don't have any friends so it'll just be us and our immediate families. After the ceremony we'll go eat steak on Lake Austin and then we'll drive to Galveston for a coupla honeyed nights. We'll spend NYE in Austin. That's all she wrote. I'm happy!

	The poem "Dreams and Thoughts of You" is so beautiful.  It put into words exactly what I felt for a guy.  It's so hard to sort through your emotions and come up with the right words to express yourself.  Hopefully, if I ever get the courage to tell him how I feel, I'll send him that poem and he'll understand.  And if it's not meant to be, then I'll accept that, but your poem gives me a reson to express my true feelings for him! Thanks!!
