my jenny-ren.--more time.--

what makes life hard is how you realy relate
what pushes you over into a hopless state

when you don"t want more time to do the undone
what you need is herrr to be more than one,

you don"t want long talks about timeless things
you need the pains cords to loosen their strings.

her voice and presence did all that and more
lifted burdens and soul weariness let light soar.

its not the lost time ahead i dread the most
like my first child born or my wedding toast,

not lost good times or our christmas day
but needing her to tell me--i"ll be okay.
----hilly---- :nike:

A truly incredible piece of poetry...

ok this is dark and was written many years ago, but i thought i would share it..
i think it speaks for itself in as much as what it is about..


No Shame


You tell me you love me , yet don't know the word
Tell me to speak out , yet I've never been heard
In silence i sit , completely broken and battered
My life's hopes and dreams all beaten and shattered
I have my face but derive no name
My head droops down in fear and shame
You finally destroyed the person i was born
Left a bleeding heart fully tattered and torn
There's no new horizon, no daylight, no sun
A fear so imbedded that from life i run
You sit back now with a smile on your face
Thinking you've won when your the disgrace
Your smugness hides a mountain of shame
For without me there's no longer a game
You claim to be the player and me the pawn
But it's me who wakens everyday at dawn
With a conscience free of guilt yet not of pain
But today i make my stand and my name i reclaim
This may be a molehill in a mountain of things
But you can only dream of the elation it brings..

Slavegirl, I thanku for this poem...I can truly relate to it...Your wording is so real to me, it is everything I feel and I thanku for putting it into words...U have touched me with this incredible piece of poetry...

Little big Horn/ johorncabomfire

We all have such different stories
That make up our long-lifedays
And freindship wanders into our lives,
with its sweetening ways.

For years i wandered in search
of a freind, always wandering
what the term meant.
Insensibly, with the years,
I found more than i imagined.
Friendship was not remote,
Not a rarity, i did not despair
Of finding ardent affections.

I did not feel stuck,
Set in conversations
With the sence they would always be prelimary,
With there inevitable precautions,
With just acquaintances,the familiar.

I found some universal mixture,
Some inexplicable and fated power
That brought each of us together,
In such infinitely varied ways,
Secret appointments of heaven
That just might continue there.

Such varying intensities,degree, intimacies,
For in fact, everyone
Had become in there own way _ Friend

Balya Retreat

WITH LOVE TO HILLY :


BALYA RETREAT

I met a man called Hilly who tends to Balya retreat
a place of peace and tranquility and scruffy at their feet
this place, it's name meaning healing has risen to the call
of those who are surely dealing with the greatest challenge of all

A thing or two from experience this man could teach us and then
when shoulders a weak from weariness his arms are like a shawl
that held his one true sweetheart his darling Jenny Ran
his heart knowing they will meet again at the end of the long hard haul

Those arms now strong and lean from labour of love and kindness
planting trees and shaping pathways where we ourselves may find us
God forbid the day should ever come till then i thank my lucky stars above
but i know my fears would be overcome by such a man who's heart is full of love


IT'S BEEN AN HONOUR MEETING YOU HILLY. PLEASE DON'T BE A STRANGER.

XX Maxeen ( And thanks for the night we spent together ) OE0

with a tear in my eye.

:tearyeyed --------------jenny-ren-------

---------------- god"s lent child ---------------

I"ll lend you for a while
Child of mine,god said
for you to love her while she lives
and mourn for when she"s dead
It may be six or seven years
or twenty two or three
be with you till I call her back
Take care of her for me?
She"ll bring her charms to gladden you
And should her stay be brief
You"ll have lovely memories
And solace for your grief
I cannot promise she will stay
Scince all from earth returns
But there are lessons taught below
I want this child to learn
I"ve looked the whole world over
In my search for teachers true
------------------END OF PART 1-------------
STILL DOING THE REST----HILLY---

 

[hilly]

Part Two Jenny-ren

P-2.
GOD"S LENT CHILD.JENNY.

AND FROM THE THRONG THAT CROWDS LIFE"s LANE
I HAVE SELECTED YOU
NOW WILL YOU GIVE HER ALL YOUR LOVE ?
NOR THINK THE LABOUR VAIN
NOR HATE ME WHEN I COME TO CALL
TO TAKE HER HOME AGAIN ?
I FANCIED THAT I HEAR THEM SAY
DEAR LORD, THY WILL BE DONE
FOR ALL THE JOY THIS CHILD SHELL BRING
THE RISK OF GRIEF WE"LL RUN
WE"LL SHELTER HERWITH TENDERNESS
WE"LL LOVE HER WHILE WE MAY
AND FOR THE HAPPINESS WE"VE KNOW
FOREVER GRATEFUL STAY
BUT SHOULD THE ANGELS COME TO CALL
MUCH SOONER THAN WE"VE PLANNED
WE"LL BRAVE THE BITTER GRIEFTHAT COMES
AND TRY TO UNDSTAND.-----(-MY JENNY-REN.)

---------------love--hilly-------------

 

[Senile]

Sometimes I find myself in a place where I do not want to be
I try so hard to fly away but my wings have broken, fallen
I lay there waiting for the time to come
I lay there waiting wishing I wasn't one

When my life has turned upside down
When the turmoil comes and runs me aground
I will be here waiting
Lying, falling, grating

I believe in something, I believe in nothing
Let me be, let me free
Soar so high above the world
Glide and plunge, die for none

I hope that one day
I will rise again
I hope that one day
I will fly again

These wings I hold in my arms
These ideas I hold within me
Scar me no more
No more, I'm free

Inspiration

That jenny-ren--

Courage and fire
A strength held within
A burning desire
To never give in.

Hearing our troubles
With a small frown
Easing the pain
Without a sound

Love and compassion
Shined in your eyes
With that Irish fire
You couldn,t disguise

Our bound,s so deep
The heart can,t deny
It gave us the inspiration
We all need to fly.

poems straight from the hart!

Dear Hilly and Max.......what a gift beiing able to put your feelings and thoughts in such a beautiful way on paper......and you Hilly,your poems have touched my hart....thank you so much for sharing this with us.xxx Astrid

 

[hilly]

Just me-lol- It Can Be Done.

Somebody said it couldn"t be done,
But he with a chuckle replied,
Maybe it couldn"t but he"d not be the one
To say so until he had tried.

So he buckled right in with a bit of a grin
On his face----if he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn"t be done-----and he did it. !

Somebody scoffed "Oh, you"ll never do that,
At least, no one ever has done it,"
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing they knew he"d begun it.

With a bit of a grin and a lift of his chin
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing.
That couldn"t be done----and he did it!

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done
There are thousands to prophesy failure
There are thousands ,to point out, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.

But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Take off your coat and go to it,
And start to sing as you tackle the thing,
That cannot be done----and you"ll do it.

Getting to know some one

FROM A PHONE CALL.
---------------------------------------

For this old bloke
Some may say
he dont work for pay
but always giving a quote

With his head always down
always thinking ahead
doing jobs others dread
he sometimes goes to town

But then within his little shell
some one sure come knocking
and stopped him from blocking
then started to ring his bell

So if someone comes bouncing along
and wants to be a friend to you
your face may turn from red to blue
dont hold back if singing the same song

So the lid of my little shell that blew apart
after a very long working day
you sure got me starting to play
I thank you with a hug & kiss for that start.

---------dont you forget----------
who lost the bet.
someone had to be right
sure hope you dont bite.
-------------------------------------------
hope the sweets were as sweet as you.

Balya--meens--Healing.

MY BALYA.
----------------------------------------------------------

Beautiful buildings with angular rooms
Comfortable beds and fragrant blooms
Spiritual spaces and more to come
Balya"s a place for leaning and fun.

Olive oil on vegies and salad with seeds
Avocade as well for omega and needs
Green tea and crackers in between meals
Come to balya for food that neals.

Chickpeas in salad and slippers on feet
What would we give for a hunk of red meat
Vegies and fruit are chopp up real nice
This is a bit about the balya life.

Talks on nutrition and meditation
Balloons are popping causing sensation
The wonderful kitchen volunteers
Have helped run balya over the years

We are so grateful
We are so thankful
That your feeling better each day
Knowing that things with you will be ok.

--------Will always remember you-------

Prints.

Foot Prints.

During your times of trials and suffering

and along the beach that you loved to run

we walked that one last time weak as you were

as i held you in my arms when you saw

only one set of foot-prints in the sand

it was then that i carried you.

--------hilly------

Friends

:angel1:

Friends are priceless
Handle them with care
Because when you are lonely
You know that they:ll be there
With uplifting words of comfort
And reminiscing of times gone by
A friend indeed is the tonic you need
To raise your spirits high.
-----hilly-----

Anytime Hilly, ANYTIME! :tongue5:

The Face

:angel1:


I walk along quickly
a brisk cheerful pace
And people smile back
at my going-out face.

They dont know the
problems the worry within
The muddle my life
is where to begin.

But seeing them smiling
makes me cheerful too
Perhaps I:ve discovered
the right thing to do.

And so I reach home
and I start to unwind
And search once again
for new peace of mind.

Tomorrow once more
I shall join in the race
I"ll put on my coat
And my going out face.
----hilly----

[Mary Anne PA]

unspoken

Often words and thoughts remain unspoken,
Life goes by, faces and hearts , masked and broken.
Walking tall saddened eyes lying smile,
A glance, a few words ears to listen just for a while.
Fair weather freinds deepest emotions
Lost love, worn out devotion.
False contentment alchol, lust and games,
Darkened rooms strangers with false names.
Reality peeping through blowing curtains,
Night and day never change that is for certain.
Addictive , compulsive shadows falling like rain.
Day has become night pointing , who to blame.
Just another day, sometimes they can all remain the same.
If i can see that small ray of light within your eyes,
deep within your heart i no that you will not despise.
For life is dear,
Minutes seconds no time for indecision or fear.
Llving is gone in an instant.
Nothing left just dust , and an imprint
Of another time and another place.
Masked by a forgotten face.

Lisa'a Poems..

Walking Along:​

Walking along the beach at night,
With you beside me.
Holding my hand as we walking along,
With love in our hearts.
Sitting on the sand watching the
Ocean roll in and forgetting everything
that is around us.
Walking along the countryside,
With you beside me.
With our arms around each other,
With love in our hearts.
Sitting there in the cleaning and watching
everything that is around us.
Listening to all God's Creations.
Walking along with you beside me,
With love in our hearts.
Not taking much notice of anything,
Except for each other; the way it
should be in this crazy mixed-up world.

Why!!​

Everything I do, or say. People put me down.
Or say it is not good enough, 'Why'.
I place every emotion and everything into
it, but no one cares. I am rubbish to them,
just want a break. Read what I written or
say, read in between the lines.
To see the love, respect and the honest. I
am not asking for much.
THEN TELL ME WHYI am not good enough'


[B]You and Me.[/B]
The day we first met, I still can't get it
off my mind, the things we said and the
things we had done. You’re soft touch of your
hand, the soft sweet sound of your voice. I
enjoyed being with you, because you make me
feel like a person and my feelings counted
with you. I never will ever feel like this
with anyone else in this Crazy mixed up
world. I am thinking of the days that we
will be together again, till then my love,
until then.

Written By Hilly

THINGS TO LEARN FROM SCRUFFY: :blob3:
Written by Hilly.

1. Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
2. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure
extacy.
3. When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
4. When it's in your best interest, practice obedience.
5. Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
6. Take naps often and stretch before rising.
7. Run, romp and play daily.
8. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
9. Be loyal.
10. Never pretend to be something you're not.
11. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
12. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle
them gently.
13. Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
14. Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
15. On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.
16. When you're happy, dance around and wag your tail.
17. No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and
pout. Run right back and make friends.
18. Bond with your pack.
19. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Yep, I reckon we could all learn a thing or two from Scruffy. :notworthy
Well done Hilly, maybe you CAN teach old dogs new tricks. :laughing1 :ky:
