Ah yes and Mossy has been known to write a nice bit of verse...i seem to recall a very good one called a runners prayer?

Yes, I remember you posting that one before, it's so very moving - wasn't she referring to Scott (of the Antarctic that is)? Of a similar vein, but in my opinion far less eloquent is this...(it's a bit too affected 'me thinks' (sorry for that affectation too!:D) and not written from the integrity of feeling that characterized Edna's poem, but maybe I'm doing Kit a disservice!).
Seek Not My Heart
by Kit McCallum
Oh gentle winds 'neath moonlit skies,
Do not you hear my heartfelt cries?
Below the branches, here about,
Do not you sense my fear and doubt?
Side glistening rivers, sparkling streams,
Do not you hear my woeful screams?
Upon the meadows, touched with dew,
Do not you see my hearts a'skew?
Beneath the thousand twinkling stars,
Do not you feel my jagged scars?
Seek not my mournful heart kind breeze,
For you'll not find it 'mongst these trees.
It's scattered 'cross the moonlit skies,
Accompanied by heartfelt sighs.
It's drifting o're the gentle rain,
A symbol of my silent pain.
It's buried 'neath the meadow fair,
Conjoined with all the sorrow there.
It's lost among the stars this night,
Too far to ease my quiet fright.
No gentle winds, seek not my heart,
For simply ... it has torn apart.
