[Introduction]

A TISKET A TASKET -A HOT AIR BALLOON BASKET

We're asking you to fly with us into the clear blue sky
Please take along a journal, and here's the reason why
As you sail in solitude, you'll have some time to ponder
Passing over countrysides, and grazing cows out yonder..

This is a special time for you, to think most seriously
Could there be more to life than this, whatever could it be?
Peaceful countrysides awaken a spirit to be free
And make me think about just who I would really like to be.

Instead of working years so hard for nothing in return
I'd love to say that every day I'll take some time to learn
Why I am me, Why I react when others treat me wrong
I'd like to start and end each day with a feeling that I belong.

I'd like to sprinkle happiness and end the gloommy spell
That seems is cast upon the world just like an empty well.
Will you join us on our journey, as we climb to a higher plane
Share your tender thoughts with us, highs and lows through rough terrain.
GYPSYROSE FOR SOUL SEEKERS GROUP
GYPSYROSE- Grateful 2 WDC    
Up up and away in skies of azure blue
Sailing next to Daizy, we'll be gathering more of you
We'll start our journey in this hot air balloon today
And pray that we can make a difference in a life along the way.

Don't be afraid to write in prose
Your feedback doesn't have to rhyme
Remember our main goal is this
To have the grandest time.*Bigsmile*

GYPSYROSE- Grateful 2 WDC    
Oh dear me, I must be doing something wrong
This keeps coming back to me..who else is sailing along?
Well, my lesson for the day is to learn patience and just wait
If I don't hear from someone soon, I'll be at the pearly gate!

Violet The Nun-MY POEMS R GONE    Soaring above in the cloudy air
Looking down upon the world way up there
Wind rushing against my cheek, this feels great
If I fall out, I will surely faint

TyKam is back with WDC Family    High above the grounds we float around the sky to see
God’s perfect creation that was made for you and me
Let’s share our greatest trials of wisdom with many to set them free.
So we all can live a wonderful life and live it more abundantly.


Daizy~wetandcoldbrr    As I look down to the world below
From this balloon up here in space,
I see all the beauty God did bestow
To us of the Human Race.

Nature's beauty is not all I see
With it's colors and peacefulness,
But Love's beauty is apparent to me
With it's caring and selflessness.

Yes, dark shadows cast a pall
In the world I see down there,
But remember, 'love conquers all'
Is an adage that we can share.

GYPSYROSE- Grateful 2 WDC    
LOVE your replies to this, and I just want to say that our little WDC world could be
the beginning of something very special. TyKam NEEDS an upgrade....Gabriella
needs gps.....so what can we do to help......Violetti is donating gps to Rising Stars
from our Raffle, so it all starts here with us.....lets each try to get a bunch of donations
for this Soul Seeker Raffle, so it can be successful and we can help both TyKam and
Gabriella. I will make an invitation and send it to everyone that I review. We will
spread it around the sight about the Raffle, and it will be GRANDIOUS......just like
the beautiful planet below us as we sail together. Soon as I get the invitation, I will
post it on Soul Seekers through a group mail.....TY KAM....GABRIELLA....help is on
the way!.....*Heart*Gypsy

ShellySunshine    On a warm sunny day
my pain starting to fade
from the normal part of my brain,
floating on the wings of doves
above the earths plane,
I am surrounded by peace
coming from my soul.
Lucky that I can share what I know
that friendship and love can feed a nation
on a warm and sunny day,
This is what I know..
Hope is free
Love is kind and peace can be found
in a simple act.
Breathe.


Carlotta/Takg Leave of Absense    Treasure each and every day.
This is what I really like to say.
For we know not what may,
On any give day come our way.

Life can be up or it can be down.
We can laugh or we can frown.
Floating in our balloon seeing the ground,
May lighten our spirit, then joy can abound.

*Heart* Carlotta


SWPoet    We are seekers of the truth inside
where others fear to tread;
the speakers for silent voices
ignored, misunderstood, or dead;

the peekers into heaven's drapes
listening closely to what is said;
we are cleaners of the windows
through which other souls are fed.

and now, through our new friendships,
may we surrender ourselves and be led
to channel silenced voices
that infiltrate our heads.

Along with other voices,
spring forth your own, dear friends,
and these truths through honest rendering.
will wake the despondent souls of men.

So write your life, dear seekers, until the very end..

embe    Herewith a thought for refugees
as my first entry =

Madji is my name
a photo in frame
from the plane
flying low,

for a movie
t view
from a couch
in your home.

There to see
mother and me
lying in a grave
so innocent,

buried ashamed
from the bomb
by the rebels
hiding on a train,

the cowards
to hide away
in Darfur,
where I was born,

free to be a child
to live a holy life
where God waits
to tell me why!

"Refugees
can't weep
borken and torn;
dolly holding me
so afraid to die."

embe,crying by the campfire.

Violet The Nun-MY POEMS R GONE    As I write this poem today
feeling high is on display

where I proclaim freedom in flight
where I know what's wrong from right

where I start to drift in my real skin
with nothing to fear, there is no sin

I sit atop the green hilly earth
within my spirit I feel rebirth

Call me down from my flight
to use all six senses tonight

reaching for a fixated grip
once I'm done with my trip

but until that moment arrives
I feel enthralled with my life




GYPSYROSE- Grateful 2 WDC    

Before I enter my thought for today...I am forwarding this from SHAMAE, that I do not want you
to miss, as IT was sent to me in error...so I know you all will enjoy this .....

FROM SHAMAE

Riding this balloon so high in the air
So much strife on the ground below
Even the air tells of wars horrid tale

For this one moment I can believe
Peace may exist for one, and all
Pull up the ropes, tie them off
Don't descend down below

I can see the sparrows
Chasing off the invader
His massive wings spanning ever wide
The little sparrows dart beneath
Daring the hawk to invade their home

Yet within this act, harmony exists
Mankind must witness the peace of mind
So little birds fending their home
A giant thwarted away, no blood spilled

So, little nations believe in yourselves
Each of you can own your home
Peace can take hold
Take a ride in this balloon
Feel the freedom in here.

Imagine,
Chuck....................................

This really touched me, Chuck, and if a little sparrow can protect what is hers, then also can
we from any conflict that we might have to face....Remember the sparrow...and God does take
care of this little bird...so as He has always taken care of us.

Thank you TyKam for reminding of God's perfect creation
SW Poets thoughts that we are the speakers for silent voices who are ignored,misunderstood or dead..
And Embe's reminder that we are free to live a "holy life" and one day God will give us answers..
Daizy's wisdom reminds us that "love conquers all"
Michelle's lesson aspires us to soar higher...for "friendship and love can feed a nation"
Carlotta shared insight that we must "treasure every day" and
Cannot forget dear Violetti, who always inspires me to live life to the fullest, enjoying all 6 senses.

God bless you for sharing inspirations that we all are able to learn from . May each new day we
sail across the sky..bring love, peace and understanding to those with whom we fly.
*Heart*GYPSYROSE

In this balloon I am not alone
Looking down, tree tops slowly wisp by
A canopy of soft greens, the ground seems so soft
Deer do not fear my silent pass


A fawn rests nearby her mother
Inspecting the lilies teasing its nose
Mother grasps an apple from a tree
Her curious tail flips to and fro


A shadow falls over her, and her baby
Watch full eyes pointing up towards me
Baby raises to still feeble legs
Wobbly steps nearing its mother


Sunlight returns to mother, and babe
Ever alert eyes observe my passing above
Mother's tail stands alert, while she remains alert
A gentle call I hear, baby lowers to suckle


My departure became as peaceful
As my arrival




Gemini33    Floating effortlessly over God's green earth
We strain our eyes to catch a glimpse of the dirt
So very high, we ride the skies
With arms spread out open, pretending to fly

And so to Heaven, we dare to float
In this lighter-than-air cloud-faring boat
We lift our eyes up to the sun
And breathe in new life into our lungs

Crisply the air whisps around our faces
We tighten our grip and rise up to higher places
For without fear, there can be no faith
But nestled cozily in our Master's arms
We feel comforted and eternally safe

Daizy~wetandcoldbrr    This balloon is getting crowded
With all the friends on board.
I think we need a bigger one.
I know where one is stored.

God gives us friends to share with
When things aren't going right,
But also to share the good times
That come both day and night.

May God ever guide our journey
To where He knows is best for us.
May we be content with where that is
And not complain or fuss.

I thank Him for the others
Who are together on this ride.
May they find His love and blessing
As we travel far and wide.


ShellySunshine    
The sky is gray today,
no time to fly
I must take my soul home
and rest
Every occassion I have
celebrated
Every moment I have
lived
I have been given a gift.
Thank you! God for
blessing me with
Everything!!


SWPoet    The funny thing about hot air balloons

Ever wonder why trouble finds you;
why you must endure yet another pain,
another trauma, another misfortune
like you're running the gauntlet over and over
always jumping through hoops of fire
only to find another waiting?

The thing about hot air balloons is this,
without the fire,
they would never leave the ground
and the hotter the fire
the closer to heaven they rise.

So I say to myself,
welcome, fire, welcome.
Take me higher and higher
till I can gain the perspective
to see all that is stretched out below me
and realize how tiny my problems really are
in this wide world of ours.

embe    I asked God a question?

"Will you love us now
hanging from a swing
below a baloon in the sky"

He smiled a reply;
to tell our campfire.
"You are burning
brightly for me."

I wake the dream within my mind;
a campfire burning in my heart.
It’s flames a glimmer of hope
for the lost and weary;
lying crying
denied;
lonely.

Yet bound in this absence;
there is a light so bright
shining in the night;
filled with love
from God;
in mercy
there.

Forgiving sins with a question!
“Will you love me now?
Accepting my grace
that will heal you;
to honor me
with faith;
seeing.

A door opening to my salvation;
where you can fly high
swaying on a swing
to me in the sky;
my arms open
to catch you,
if you fall.”

embe, knowing he loves this group.



GYPSYROSE- Grateful 2 WDC    

I am writing my addition by the light of the moon,
And hoping, dear friends, that you all are still up in your balloon.
We have not heard from Violetti in such a long time
So, I pressed "skip her turn" and sending you another rhyme.

Soon, I'll be getting my heart fixed up, so it will beat normal again
And hope that smart doctors can help me to mend.
If it all goes well, and the heart cath can fix it
I'll be jumpin for joy, and make everyone biscuits.

One thing for certain that I would like to share with you
Live each day to the fullest and always stay true
To your Father in Heaven, He will be there to guide
Keep promises you make, and don't be puffed up with pride.

For there is purpose to your life, you are not asked to be great
Just be thankful each day there is food on your plate.
Be sure to tell loved ones just how much you care
And don't worry about money...or too much time to spare.

We are given one day, so spend your time doing good
Making life better for someone or sharing your food.
Eternity is waiting, one day we will be called back home
Don't complain about trivia, or belittle or moan.

Always keep smiling, help others to laugh
For surely one day, our life here on earth will be past.
And heaven will be lovely, like looking down from our balloons
And each of us will soar through the blue skies while singing beautiful tunes.

God bless you each with a joy filled day
And a life full of wonder full pleasures, I pray.

*Heart*Always, and forever and ever....GYPSYROSE



Imagine     For all those who I've come to know
In this balloon, their tales of wonder,
Strife while life deals its hand,
Prayers to one they call, God.

Here we can share so much in flight,
Yet we now wonder of one who is missing,
We seek Violetta's safe return to us.

Companions we are all, sharing this ride,
We dream of bright moments to arrive,
We dream of peace in a world full of horror,
We hope for sweet dreams of night.

We fear when one is absent,
We fear the unknown,
We fear what is new,
We fear what is to come.

Let us embrace the new,
Together we have courage,
We can accept the challenge.



TyKam is back with WDC Family    To all of my friends in this balloon, I hope the ride never end
For we have started something grand that's spreading in the wind
A lot of love and peace we share that starts from deep within
We send a message to all the world we must show love again.

Many spirits of love connecting to make the ride worthwhile
Happiness surrounds the earth with every single mile
So gather your things and hop on board and join us very soon
And take the ride of your life in our Tiskit A Taskit A Hot Air Balloon.
