Hear me Merlin! incl. graphics

I sit here and I stare.....I hear a cry......... Is it the voice of my soul...my thoughts...my mind? I always have so much I want to say......... But I sigh...as I feel the power of my ideas slip away. I get lost as I wander over the terrain of my thoughts, I, more than anyone can put words into your mind........ Then they flare up...so much passion so much fire! I eagerly lean forward...the milky mists begin to fade..... Feel me.. hear me..I burn to be heard! I stare into my ball as I look inwards......... To the very centre of your being...your soul, So much magic I feel as I sit here and ponder, I wonder.... I wave my hand...... A white flash..a blinding light...... I disappear.........
I hold in my hand the rune of power...... Patiently I wait for the midnight hour, When the stars align across the sky.... And the silvery moon has risen up high, I raise my hands towards the moon...... Quietly I chant the word of the rune, I close my eyes and start to sway...... Hear me Merlin and feel what I say, Now I'm strong, I'm filled with magic.. I'm no longer weak..no longer tragic! Feel my strength..I start to sing...... I'm free, I'm free! I open my new wings, I gracefully bow then leap into the sky... WOW..look at me Merlin...I can FLY! Behold the wonders of your sight....... As I soar off silently into the night.

That Happy Chica Marcia Ellen Beevre | | Bing | | | 4/11/2004 4:28:01 AM | Beautiful, Janine!
i could almost feel myself in the part.
again, thank you. | | Shiela | | | 4/12/2004 9:39:06 AM | | I'm no literary critic.....but for what it's worth, I like it. | | crazyacet2 | | | 8/3/2005 4:08:09 AM | This is a great poem Janine. The thought of the rune of power:
QUOTE I hold in my hand the rune of power Patiently I wait for the midnight hour When the stars align across the sky And the silvery moon has risen up high I raise my hands towards the moon Quietly I chant the word of the rune I close my eyes and start to sway Hear me Merlin and feel what I say
This reminds me of an old gaelic legend, about the virgin that could summon Merlin's power on the Midsummers nights eve. I am not sure if this is based upon that legend or not, but it is a very powerful wording, incorporating quite a few different myths and legend into it. Good job. And you say that I am versatile and talented. (bowing) I yield to your wisdom and talent.
Jared | | eternity7112 | | | 8/4/2005 5:21:30 AM | Well Miss Janine you know how to do it the way it is suppose to be done!
I agree with Jared this is perfect and very powerful writing. | | SandDollar1 | | | 8/10/2005 11:59:13 AM | Janine,
This is magical in every way. Love it!
Annette | | MysticWings575 | | | 8/10/2005 12:01:29 PM | There is magic in every word. I liked it.
Mystic | | whatup64106 | | | 8/10/2005 12:03:42 PM | | I think Merlin definitely heard ya with this beauty. If not then he's got wax build-up going on again. | | Cheyanne | | | 8/10/2005 12:08:20 PM | WOW! whoo.......
Good read here Janine. A write that totally lifts the readers spirit! I felt as if I could FLY!!!! I was saying YEAH! Hear me too Merlin!!!! I love this part,
QUOTE Hear me Merlin and feel what I say Now I'm strong, I'm filled with magic I'm no longer weak............no longer tragic! Feel my strength......... .I start to sing I'm free, I'm free! I open my new wings I gracefully bow then leap into the sky WOW............ look at me Merlin, I can FLY! Behold the wonders of your sight As I soar off silently into the night.
