Michael Stuart Kelly Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Glimpses of youI’ve sensed you all my earthly years,Don’t ask me how I knew,I’ve watched the wide world spinningWith countless signs of you.I’ve loved you as an angelWho never could be true.I’ve seen so many glimpsesAnd countless signs of you.Harsh plights have caused me heartaches And often I withdrew.That angel then would call me backBy countless signs of you.In wars where I’ve surrendered,When shame would have to do,I’ve charged back into battleBearing countless signs of you.And when my soul’s been wearyAnd love had turned tabooI’ve overcome my apathyThrough countless signs of you.You’re part of all I treasure,And I’ll live my whole life throughWith gratitude for finding joyIn those countless signs of you.For Katherine Lynne Wheeler, my beloved fiancéeDecember 10, 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 Roger,Thank you so much and much love back at you.(btw - I received the CD. Wonderful. You really took me back to trombone. I am going to do a small review of it here on OL.)Landon,Thank you for that. I don't know how your love life is going, but you have all my best wishes for finding the happiness Kat and I have. It is worth much more than every single heartache I have ever experienced in the past to get to this point.

Charles R. Anderson Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 It is fun watching you enjoy each other so much. How much better life would be if more people enjoyed other people in general more than they do. The universe would be more benevolent then.

Barbara Branden Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Michael, I told you this privately, but I should have said it publicly: Your poem is lovely, and Kat must be very proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Coates Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Michael, I just saw this and it brought tears to my eyes. A great poem is one that is universal, captures an emotion (or state or event or perspective) with economy, precision, and grace. This poem does all of these things and, if you someday publish it somewhere where it can gain traction and be seen, will over time become a treasured classic. It's that good.

Kat and I are very much in love and we love sharing the good vibes.Barbara, I value your private praise to me so highly that I did not even notice that you did not post it. Thank you so much.Phil, I am highly flattered by your words. Thank you. I put extremely high value on the tears, though. I am pleased beyond words that I touched you.
