Love Poems

Words Are Good for Things, like Cars and Trees


Words are good for things, like cars and trees,
But when it comes to feelings, they're like trying
To wrap a waterfall or sign a breeze,
Or tell someone a whole truth without lying.
I would tell you how I feel with signs:
Like how I look at you or how I touch,
Or how I fit my dreams to your designs,
Making one bright world--and then, how much.
The truth is not in words or even deeds:
It's far too subtle to be seen or heard.
It's in the garden that supplies one's needs,
Too various for any act or word.
Words are like the scent of rich perfume:
They indicate a presence in the room.

SiGreat to get your Christmas message, I wish you a very good 2011.I hope that retefcling back on the last year you feel that it has been a good one for you , the familly and friends.I wonder if you have started to put together the new list of goals for next year,do you still write them down at the start of the year? Ithink that noting down your goals is a good thing by the way ,it is some thing that I have been meaning to do.It is very tough to do.We had our first warm christmas which passed without pressents, turkey or watching TV.We spent the day doing what we both enjoy , camping ,have breakfast of muslie and fresh fruit and riding our bikes. NZ is the prefect country for touring, plenty of hills to keep it interesting, lots of fresh food, many bike shops to look at and they speak English.We have worked our way round the top of the North Island ,excluding the cape.This area has lots of accomodation options, including some comfortable B & B rooms. Lottie is in great shape and enjoying the trip. She has incredible stamina.We are having a day off the bikes and catching a tourist boat round the Bay of Islands.
