“MAGIC….(of Love)” by Lanette Keller from Naples, FL
Like MAGIC we met… Our eyes connected by this MAGIC and our hearts, in response, beat faster and faster, again and again, like MAGIC! We laughed, shared thoughts, and as time passed, we made love, all was again, MAGIC! We thought this MAGIC would last a lifetime…again…MAGIC…we BOTH felt blessed… Then, an unexpectant turn… MAGIC…where are you! We felt your MAGIC, we laughed, we loved, and WE became ONE. MAGIC, why did you leave us??? I MISS YOU MAGIC!!! COME BACK! I KNOW YOU HEAR ME, MAGIC, AND I HAVE FAITH YOU WILL RETURN… One day…
“Remember” by Sandi Jean Gajewski from Clearwater, FL
Remember your magnificence no matter who does not Forgive them of their ignorance, the part of them that they weren’t taught! Remember your incredulity for it is who you are Not everyone is capable of recognizing a shining star! Remember your marvelousness it’s yours, your gift from birth Forgive others their oversight if they don’t realize your great worth! Remember…
“A Ship Without a Sail” by Alan Fisher from Sarasota, FL
Lost in human nature Blaming others for all things wrong Conflict, pain and suffering Feeling you don't belong There's no answer at that level I know for I've been there You feel you're all alone And that others just don't care But there is a simple answer Not complex as some would say Surrender to the present And live life day by day All problems are from thinking About the future and the past Right now life is flowing Climb aboard and raise the mast

“The Waterfront” by Alan Fisher of Sarasota, FL
Content in serenity and peace The clouds and the water blend All is calm and the only sound Is the birds calling to their friend The trees stand guard as the people walk by Not noticing the stillness that's there Nor the space above that's showering love Heaven and earth are really one pair And so within, breath and heartbeat Give evidence that you are alive Don't take it for granted, don't waste it away Life is more than how to survive
“Universal Marriage” by Alan Fisher of Sarasota, FL
In sickness or in health, for better or worse We're all experiencing this terrible curse How we handle it and if we survive Let us be thankful for being alive The world has been united by this rampant flu Now it's a question of what do we do We can't go back to the way we were But loving each other is part of the cure Married to one another, together or apart Being strong alone, yet opening our heart Letting go of chatter, surrendering to life True Man or Woman, whether a husband or wife
