This is a reposted poem I am now dedicating to Nova's heart
Nova's Heart
I checked out my stats to see who all visited. Something I don't do often. And I ran across this story about a baby born with a congenital heart defect. Well at the top I saw a link to my poem "Today I Set You Free. . And this really took my breath away. I am honored that they used this poem. And sad that baby Nova had to leave us so soon.
To Erin, (mommy) And your entire family, may you be in peace.
Today I set you Free
Today I set you free
to be who you need to be
Our paths crossed
In a magical place
It was the perfect choice
But your heart was too fragile
Our destination was not meant to be
Day by day, reflections
Of us in shattered glass
This is a place I can never return
Our destiny was never meant to be
Poems of love will now fade
Trails of tears will be distant
In the oasis two soul mates
Stand with faces silent
The thunder of forgotten dreams
Will now sound throughout infinite
May you be at peace
Under a gossamer sky
And fly on the wings of an angel
Throughout your journey

Thank you so much for this.
Erin,
You are so very welcome.
Sometimes in life, things don't always work out, but sometimes in a quiet time you just know that although a parting has happened everyone is still all right.

Hello my love, that is so true. But doesn't lesson the pain. (smile) oh you precious one.
Wonderful poem & blog about a fragile star here on earth that was only here for a short while but his star is shining ever so brightly in the heavenly skies.

How's you?
Thank you ganga. I am great! how are you? Hope all is well with you and yours.
It amazing how all things connect. I have a friend I met at university called Nova. We lost touch for years until earlier this year when I got hold of her email address. She emailed me a few days ago in response to the mail I sent with my photo.
Beautiful poem, Shy. Thank you.
Love EJ

Oh how wonderful. Life does come full circle doesn't it? That is good news. Thanks for sharing.
in shadows, the sunshine disappears.. but it shines.. some where far away.. cos the might of the sun.. will always stay..
the star will continue to smile on the horizon of the sunset..!!
Shy am deeply moved.. peace be with em.
Dear Shy,
How have you been? Sorry for the extreme long absence (and it will still continue) since I am currently burdened with academia. The intensity has increased but the amount of time still remains the same and I do think it has driven my Muse away in despair. She will not be back soon (though I long for her sweet melodious presence). Take care and lead a good life.
Regards

Actually it is just wellpaper not a template. I am not that talented haha. But thank you so much.
Wow. That really puts things in perspective. Thank you for sharing.
Also, sorry I haven't stopped by in a while to say hi. I have been a bit busy with other things, lately.
: )
Dear Shy,
Amidst the fighting of sleepiness (6.45am here and I haven't caught a wink), I decided to drop by and just say hi. Hope you are doing a-ok?
What took the words of a poet away?
Hello there Shyloh. I know, I know I'm late as hades dropping in. But glad I did. For who've thought I'd run into this heart taking poem and story on Nova. Very moving.

Hello baby how's it going? Thank you for being you. Better late than never as the say ha.
love seeing you always.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I boast no knowledge of poetry and the few I've ever written and posted...well I am a comedian by trade.
In any event, looks like you have a lovely blog here. If you're ever up for a link exchange just let me know.
Something like this is worth having gone through even if it wasn't "meant to be"
Did you decide to shut down "silent etc." as I couldn't access it this morning. If you did, that's OK.
Hey alex it is still there. Told ya of all the problems I have. Try again later.
Hi Shy,
I liked the Hawaian poem....
You have a great blog..
best wishes!

Wow, that was actually kind of hard to read. I can't imagine. Such strength.
It's been a while since I visited and the place looks great! Ken
I'd like to be set free...... if it were still possible for me. Ahh...... nothing stains the soul more than my Father's tears.
Truly beautiful. I can't belive I was gone so long. Wont happen again!
Ken
