Old and New

Madi chasing storms and Kevin touching scars Aubrie paints a sunrise  as Lauren’s hanging stars Dolly sharing her adventures Dhrit’s awesome vocabulary Leena hugs the child inside Navin’s sage perspicacity Barbara is a welcome sight Debra laces love with art Tara always keeps it real Philine pens from the heart blessed by so many friends I can share now but a few yet I pray you know I love every one both old and new

Goodnight from

the little blog that could.  Goodnight my friends, and thank you for the outpouring of love today.  After nearly two years of abandonment I’ve been spending a little more time on this blog lately and enjoying it.  Sometimes as we all know, Tumblr can feel a bit too much like a full contact full time job, and this is my escape hatch.  It’s also kind of cool to give my friends “free” hearts. Forgive me if you must, but I like giving hearts away, and since someone will probably ask, yes I read it.  :)  For reasons I may never, and may not need to, know, I also feel a little more comfortable here.  It feels kind of like take your shoes off and relax a while.  Don’t we all need that?  You too Navin @wordswritteninsilence.  LOL he’s going to hate me for that.  Sometime I will write about the reasons and meanings behind don’t cry.  At least two of you have asked.  Enough for now. Goodnight and love to all, Mike <3 P.S.  Shameless name dropper I am, I also had pleasant chats with @towardsnihility and @mariposaheart.  Thank you!

you collect stars as if your words aren’t bright enough for the world and you pull them out of your body but only at night because you are scared that they might not shine at all in the sunlight but baby your smile is brighter than the light put together by all the stars in this galaxy and your eyes hold more energy than present in this universe and I could still make more celestial metaphors for you but even they wouldn’t be enough to describe your essence

[spilled-ink-remix]

I wish I could forget you, but that's too easyHonestly, i could write a million poems about you, but you'll never truly know how much i love you.There was a time your words were like drizzles of much awaited rain after a scorching hot day But now the words you've left behind are mirages of my longing dreams which I can never truly reachSweet was the fruit you left behind, not for me.Its five o'clock in the morning and I want you.If I didn't believe in anything, I wouldn't get out of bed in the morning.

The dreamer yearns for temporal things fortune, fame, power, acclaim tis fool's gold we seek in this world's game all nice wishes I'm sure though meaningless like ice cream melting in A Sunday Child's Summer Hands our treasure is far more simple yet harder to find a kindred spirit to hold as our stories unfold someone to keep safe our hearts and smiles someone to be there, someone to care our greatest need is to know that someone understands

A Sunday Child's Summer Hands Inspired a friend’s deeply touching post.  READ HERE 

[mikefrawley]

That Worked Out Nicely

I believe long ago an old child/poet wrote something to the effect of, The magic is the interaction.  He must have been quite wise!  LOL  Though I don’t reblog very much any more, yesterday I shared two lovely posts from a couple of my dearest friends @towardsnihility and @m-miral, and to make a long story short, one is currently featured in quotes, and the other has the “magic” 100 hearts. Yes I must admit, that worked out nicely, and just so no one accidentally thinks I’m selfless, my post inspired by Leena’s has a red quote thingy as well.  Thank you to everyone!  Kindness is indeed a good thing, and here comes the big finish.  In case no one’s told you yet today, let me be the first to say... I love you, Mike <3 

[mikefrawley]

Love Overdose (Goodnight)   Thank you everyone, and a special thank you to three very dear and special friends for the overdose of love tonight.  See spike above, and thank goodness, apparently I was flatlining.  :)  Sandra @alexandraswritingblock @alexandrasreadingblock Iris @victimofyourart @casualtyofthoughts, and Leena @towardsnihility @shabdpurvaiya.   Goodnight and love to all, Mike <3

So, remind me again, are those roundly triangular gizmos good things? What?, LOL, and thank you my friends.  Hopefully this next comment won’t be unintentionally controversial, but even in a numbers game like this, after a while (such as six plus years), followers becomes a ridiculously inflated and fairly meaningless random number, however, while I remain grateful to everyone who’s kind enough to follow my rambling, the number of friends we’re blessed to have can never be overvalued.  Though some out there have more followers and some possibly less, which is fine with me in either case, no one could possibly have any better, and more loyal friends.  You all are the best, and I wouldn’t trade you in for nuthin’! Love, Mike <3   

[mikefrawley]

@Friends TBD Not

@teaberrybee,  @towardsnihility, @m-miral, thank you for the Sunday Morning Love.   I know at least the three of you are out there, now can I get a freakin’ heart on a favorite Seal Song already? ;)  Sorry everyone, way too much coffee, and apparently Mike got joke this morning.  Good morning to all of our friends, and just in case no one’s told you yet today, let me be the first to say... I love you, Mike <3

Yep, the usual suspects.  :)  Good morning and thank you to everyone!  Please forgive me for cheating a little at the bottom, but it seems a few of our friends insist on complicating my life by liking, commenting and reblogging posts on that “other” blog.  I shall try to forgive them.  Two E.C. Features this morning (old poet having an emotional moment), and if I didn’t know better I might suspect that Lauren, Tam and Ali were campaigning to win my vote for reblogger of the year.  You’re all winners in my eyes...and heart.  Whether or not you’ve been kind to my writing today, let me take a moment to thank everyone who has been good to anyone in this 24 hour gift we call the present. Lastly, in case there are any out there who feel like they’re not good with kindness, please remember, you can always practice on yourself, and yes you do deserve it. Love always, Mike <3

Aw, good problems again.  Too much kindness, that is if anyone would or could actually have the audacity to refer to kindness of any type as being a problem. Thank you as always my friends, and special thanks to Ali for the one woman reblogathon. You are all both appreciated and greatly loved!   Goodnight, Mike <3

Someone is feeling spoiled and quite grateful this morning.  Thank you my dear friends.  I was going to attempt a clever and/or witty reply to each of the wonderful, kind and loving souls above, but perhaps thank you already expressed it best.  I will mention however that Dhrit inspired Cold Mountain, and Lauren’s Comment “may” have inspired my next attempt.  Oh, and there is one more thing.  If no one’s told you yet today, let me be the first to say... I love you, Mike <3      P.S.  I have a ton of friends queued up, and they’re all clamoring to get out. Please forgive me if I overdo it later.  :)
