Love my Mishler Family!

Hello all!
Been awhile since my last post as well.Seems like we are all dealing with some issues (for lack of a better moniker) in our lives,both physical and spiritual.Ahhh,don't ya just love the aging process? White hair baby,that's my goal.Long and white.And in a braid!
I have been writing tons of poetry as of late. I tend to do this during times when I am being pushed spiritually,emotionally,or just plain inspired.MY last writes are a result of all three.
So,I am posting one of these poems here for you all...

Ashes and Foam

I sent my Love out over the Sea
And at Night the Moon brought Her home to Me
The Tide,it ebbed,the spray salty sweet
As the Ocean lay my Love at my feet

She gently took my hand in her own
The sensation of Memory chilling the bone
A short walk along shoreline and mist
Renewed my senses to what I've missed

And as Dawn awoke the Sun so fierce
I felt Sorrow's Dagger,my Heart thus Pierced
As sea foam and Moon beams swing and sway
Once again to take my Love away


I was inspired by the thought of being reminded of our loved ones.Specifically in dreams.I have had dreams of loved ones who have passed on (pops),past loves gone awry,and friends long gone.This is about someone being "visited" by a loved one in a dream and how the bittersweet panorama of such an experience can tug at both of our senses of love and lost.
Well....there are more but I may reserve them for another time as they are very personal.Consider this my "journal entry".
Take care,
Juan

hoy! Juan!
did you know that i love ya, bro?!
loved your poem! really resonated with my heart!
what is lovely is that the Lord has promised us the fulfillment of that Love in Christ, and the total end result is waiting for us in heaven.
Personally I'm asking God if He'll strap a pack on my back when I get there and let me trek far and wide to be with and visit all my loved ones.. have i said all this before?
I look forward to being with those He's promised my heart WILL be there, even though they may not know Him now yet. There's certain people I've loved and prayed for for 10 years, and He's given my heart peace that they will be His one day before they die.
Keep giving up your heart to Him! as HIS LOVE Is what draws us and will draw to Him those who don't yet know Him.
it's gonna be friggn awesome..
yah, you'll be the Latino Gandalf someday with that beautiful white braid of yours!
cheers!
