The Shadow Reaper - A Halloween Poem
Current mood:

The Shadow Reaper
A Halloween Poem
by: Jennifer Byers

"The fog rolled in thick and cool
as the wind whispered a faint tune.
You'd think me no less than a fool
to return here so terribly soon.
Ah, yes the thought makes you shudder
as the twilight grows still darker.
You stand in frozen wonder
could I be simply a stalker?
That notion more serene perhaps
but if this stalker is something more...
...your mind races to grasp...
...something more...perhaps a trap!
Have you come here an innocent wanderer
out for a moonlit stroll,
Only to find an elusive, shadowy admirer
here to claim an innocent soul?"

"A Halloween Poem"

"Pixie, kobold, elf, and sprite,
All are on their rounds tonight;
In the wan moon's silver ray,
Thrives their helter-skelter play."

"Andalusite (and/or) Chiastolite"

Chiastolite is a variety of andalusite, sharing those properties in addition to the ones below. Also known as the "cross stone" because of a natural cross pattern, produced by a darker axis and angles colouring. This is the key "signature" by which to understanding its valuable properties. The fact that this stone has had its uses so clearly indicated by those with even a preliminary knowledge of geometric and numeric qualities, is an indication of its importance.

An oldie, but a goodie - Harvest Night

Note: This is among my favorite poems that I've written

Harvest Night
by: Aubrey Damhnait Fae

"Twilight comes and the stars awaken from their slumber.

Full moon lights the path through Enchanted Forests, as fireflies and Faery-folk dance upon rain kiss'd leaves.

Shadows dance on the fertile ground as the majestic pines sway to and fro.

Twilight fades to the darkness of night as the forest awakens to the sounds of Mother Earth.

I'm wrapped in the soft glow of the full moonbeams and entranced by the sweet scent of rain.

I feel at home sitting beneath my favorite tree.

Melodic river and soft rustle of the woods giggle with mystery...hinting of the 'Woodland Realm'.

I embrace the cool, familiar comfort of this Harvest Night."

Willing Participants?
Category: Writing and Poetry

In case you missed my bulletin --

Hello all! :-)

I'm working on a concept for a book I'm writing on astrology. As some of you already know, I often write up birth charts for friends and family. I'm considering putting some birth charts into this book as examples. Therefore, I will need some willing participants for this project. If you are interested, all I would need is: Your full name, date of birth, location of birth and time of birth.

Your date of birth should be in Month, Day and 4-digit year format.
Full name should include any middle names.
If you prefer me not to include your real name, please let me know. Also, if you go by an alias (eg: a pen-name), please let me know if you would prefer to be referred to by that name.

Many thanks!

innerPEACEout,
Jenny

Secret Garden: Sigma
Current mood:

calm
Category: Music

Who knows how long this will remain my main page song. However, if you know me - you more than likely know of my love of Ireland and the profound beauty of the Gaelic language.

"Sigma" is an older Secret Garden song of their cd "Songs from a secret garden", released in 1996.

I thought you might enjoy the lyrics - both Gaelic and English translation. (If this song is no longer on my page by the time you read this, I strongly recommend you find it and give it a listen.)

Secret Garden "Sigma"

Bim ar thoir an comhartha
Scaoileas m'anam saor
Caithfidh mo chroí a bheith glan
Roimh siochán theacht chúm

Ní leanfaidh mo Bhrón
Is béim sásta le mo ghrá
Guim comhartha chabhreoidh liom
Mé a chomhlíonadh

Bim ar thoir an comhartha
Scaoileas m'anam saor
Caithfidh mo chroí a bheith glan
Roimh siochán theacht chúm

Sí an ghaoth do ghuth
Sí an bháisteach do dheora
Grian, do chroi ar las
Do spiorad mo shlánú

English Translation:
I search for the sign
That will set my soul free
My heart must be pure
So that I can find peace

My grief cannot last forever
My love will be fulfilled
I pray a sign will help me
Be all that I can be

I search for the sign
That will set my soul free
My soul must be pure
So that I can find peace

The wind is your voice
The rain is your tears
You burning heart
And spirit is my salvation

"Beauty comes in all sizes, not just size 5. " -Roseanne
Current mood:

contemplative
Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping

"No wonder our perception of beauty is distorted"

How true. Unfortunately this idea of what is "beautiful" is being forced-fed, non-stop on a daily basis to young girls all over America. Just look around Myspace for example. You'll see 14 and 15 year old girls with more make-up than some of my most feminine friends. And in addition to that, they are using Photoshop and programs of the like to erase their "flaws", thus turning themselves into spray painted miniature supermodels - or - what they are told is "beautiful". It is disgusting. While I was on the road to Virginia, I stopped over night in Alabama. The hotel I stayed in was having a convention for child beauty pageant contestants. Everywhere I looked there were these decked out little girls - most of them somewhere around 6-8 years old. What is that telling these children? Can you imagine what they will be like when they are teenagers? It's fashion as well - clothing, brand name items that these kids "must have".

What is your opinion on this?

Virginia Tech
Current mood:

shocked

Our prayers are with you, Hokies. You and your families.

Blacksburg, VA - Virginia Tech University

As most of you know, I recently moved back home (here in the Deep South) from Central VA. I thank God that my friends who go to VT are alright and my heart goes out to all the victims and their families. Today, we are all Hokies.

It's a scary world we're living in now. Be thankful for every day you're blessed with.
