Velveteen Rabbit - MAGIC

Is not worthy of your never ending love and dimming hope of being with them again. Electric blue -so blue - so blue, take a journey inside break down those barriers you have made against the world that will hold your dreams with delicate lace. To build a barrier using someone elses false love is so cruel to your inner self that needs to be free of all ties, to fly again, in a world that sometimes is so cruel, you need just to love your own form, and then share with who ever you think or know deserves to be alowed to see such a beauty in a spirit. A lovely sad write and I hope it is a closure on some windows that you have to your soul, Yours As usual Ian.T

blue, a heart-breaking write, my bedtime story. may those tears stop flowing and the longing be fulfilled, Electric blue -so blue - so blue love from here, Kata

Well written but offers nothing, you can do better. cheers, Jess Forever unwrapping the eternal present.

Have just read your Ocean, and now I am sorry I hadn't read the small print I have been going to the lonely poems part and sorting out a few comments as to why they are there and in doing that I have missed a few of the main poems put on stream and as the comments are there for them they should be ok, like this morning I noticed that Wierdelf had to say sorry so then I go and see why, Not sure if our lovely elf is having a bad week or so, or is just being Wierd, but never mind young lady you just hold in there and don't forget to look after you first and believe that they are but a thought away, Yours Ian x

the poem feels a little rough and incomplete, but I daresay that's how you are feeling right now. There are times when we just cannot find words good enough to say how we feel. This is such a time for me, too. Again, I can only offer you my love and my friendship in a clumsy effort to comfort you. I refrain from rating this poem, as it is such a very personal one... Hugs, ~Nina

The Velveteen Rabbit is a call back to the safety and absolutes of childhood. I used to read the Velveteen Rabbit to my children, over and over, like the repetition you use. One day in hospital I met a middle aged woman who was very fearful for reasons I will leave private. Each night she slept in the hall. She found aloneness too scary in the hospital room. The lights never went out in the hall. And each night I would tell her, from memory, the Velveteen Rabbit, so she would sleep. I am reminded of all these things by your poem. Regards, Brian

How ever much we love, we are still alone, and always will be, we can share time together and many other things, joyfully and full of love the one for the other; but then we are there in this world alone with our own decisions and feelings, it is not often that one meets anyone who totally fills the role one wishes them to, we have to understand that and make the best of what happens to us, be it in love, death or illness, we are our only guides. If ever I have felt 'down' I look at nature, she has all facets of up and down and there I see the tree, the simple tree growing and it fills me with the feeling that I too can grow and florish like a tree. Then my desperation subsides and I find myself more positive and hang on to that feeling as best I can to help me out of the impass I find myself in. As you say it takes time but one must never let go of the thread of joy that is there inside one, the magic perhaps in this poem, that magic is there whatever happens around one, the magic of being alive in this fantastic world, whatever happens to destroy our dreams and wishes. I have no 'ism's ' to guide me, no creeds of conduct to follow, but a firm core of my own being's worth and with that all manner of medicines can be galvanised within ones own body and heal one to see the wonder of life at all once again. Oh my you got me going Blue lady in your wooded doom-like light, I would so wish I could illumine a tiny light that you would see to lead you towards something worth, do not expect anything in life, it happens as it does and we cannot steer it, but if the opportunity presents itself use it to widen the experience of joy as best you can and then new even more wonderful things can happen, when you thought you had had the best, there is more and more out there if one is patient and gives joy to others around one, they respond and then you find it yourself too. I am no psychologist but that is my humble thought at this moment dear Maggie I wish you well and more joy than you ever dreamed of, its just round the corner, it will come I am sure so don't loose heart. Think positive and forward, and above all enjoy the present moments, that little bird, that rabbit, that beautiful flower and these will multiply your joys and weigh the balance plunging you into a deep and beautiful joy of life from the depths to the hegihts, just put on your wings Maggie and choose to fly. Oyoyoyoy what have I writtten here, I'm only trying, in my simple way to cheer you up and help you grab the impetus of happiness. Yours with love Ann of Norway.

I understand, I have most of that in my good partner, but I don't think we can expect ALL, that is Utopian thinking. There must be some things we have just for ourselves I have found, at last. There where one is totally one's own master, then one can feel one can give to others. Good luck and love from Ann of Norway
