Message Friends

A L O H A From 
H O N O L U L U

In quiet moments
Thoughts take flight,  
With you, my friend,
They find their light.  
In solitude
I've often roamed,  
Yet in our words
I feel at home.

Like angels consoling
through the night,  
We share all dreams,
All favors requite.  
Our conversations
Dance with wings,  
So natural with you:
These significant things!





. . .A bond's been woven,
Deep and true,  
Of everything I share
With you.  
Of all the things
You share with me
Instantly our hearts agree.

Thank you for being
My guiding star,  
My message friend,
No distance too far.  
Together we speak
In a sacred space,  
With every word
We find our grace.

So here’s my heart
In verses penned—  
Grateful always
For you, my friend.
        Cloudia Charters,

Be an encourager.
The world has plenty 
of critics already.
   Dave Willis




The greatest weapon 
against stress is our 
ability to choose one 
thought over another.
William James






The key to finding 
happiness in this life is 
realizing that the only way 
to overcome is to transcend; 
to find happiness in the 
simple pleasures, to master
the art of just being.
Brianna Wiest

Guru Pixie is helping us all master the art of just being. Your poem is great, and I love the picture of the little child at the end. Let's all vow to spread encouragement!

I like the idea of being an encourager - and the world certainly needs more of them.
