Terry D, where are you? Wingy? Gwendalar? sweet sweet Gwendalar?? The Gentleman??? Enty??? so many many more, I figure you are just roaming around this universe and someday we will bump into each other again..
If you are missing someone, please leave them a message..
Here is mine:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The myriad stars that shine
at Universe TORC, are dimmed
to mere points of light...diminished
from our sight....
A handful of precious gems glitter
a planet aligns, in perfect harmony
one with the cosmos, sychronosity..
And one by one they fall....
burning, churning masses
to the earth, no longer stable..
Hurtling through the atmosphere
To touchdown in our hearts, tease
and surround us with creations fire..
Forlornly, she looks into the abyss
to glimpse her cherished spark
But it is the rogue star, the wanderer
Molting its charisma on lesser orbs...
In bold and startling anguish
She turns and sets the star free
Outward it travels, unaware of her
tears and loss, it only knows self..
Fly on, fly high and fly far,
may my brief embrace keep you
soaring, unfettered and free....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For Raven sending warmest healing and missing hugs to you now and everyday until you return to us. 143
For Vanadarlin', Aerin, Jae, heliona, Runie, Inky, B25, Scribbles, Hue, Sil and all others who have kept this thread alive for all these years. I thank you and let us make the third edition as great as the first and second.
It is sort of sad to see the first and second threads go, but I know many people returned and posted there. So that is a good thing.
heliona thank you for the suggestion to post the link to the original thread in this one incase people are looking for someone who posted there.
Now we have two links that can be researched if it is needed.
Thank you all, those who are far from TORC these day and those who have managed to stick it out.
