Trying to find a poem with special resonance for me...

[rowanwitch]

Can't give details but can anyone recommend sites with a really good identification system as I can only remember a few bits of lines...I have it copied down in a big book at home somewhere but can't find it

[rowanwitch]

Swiftly dear heart swiftly
For the autumn is upon us
The reaper stalks the fields
And apples ripen on the trees
And the sun is gold above us
In our separate places
It’s the same sun shines to warm us
Though we are miles apart

Softly dear heart softly
For I hear the call of winter
The reaper’s heading homeward
And snow falls to the ground
And the moon hangs full above us
In out different places
It’s the same moon shines to light us
Though we are miles apart

Swift and softly dearest
For the midnight bell is chiming
And the fields are cold and barren
And the owl calls from the tree
And the dark of night approaches
And the lights we hold will falter
And though we hold back the darkness
We may have but little time

Such a lovely Poem rowan, so true and apt. x
Who was the Author of it, can you remember ?

[rowanwitch]

me

[redman41]

You are very talented in that field and although I like Poetry I'm no Poet. Have you written several enough to publish a Book of Poems as with that kind of ability you should have them Published !
Your talent sees no bounds, what else can we (I) hope for ? :-))

[rowanwitch]

We can hope for anything I suspect my dear one

[redman41]

I will have to go out shortly as have more errands and shopping to do in Morrisons, but will talk later on here and via the usual later in the day ! x

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.

LOVE:
We think about it, Sing about it, Dream about it and Loose sleep worrying about it. When we don't know we have it, we search for it. When we discover it, we don't know what to do with it. When we have it, we fear loosing it. It is the constant source of pleasure and pain. But we don't know which it will be from one moment to the next. It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define and IMPOSSIBLE to live without.

Here is another one I like rowan !

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you' re just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, THAT'S HER.!. "
