Resting Quill |

Of silent tongue and faded quill in moments when a pen heard... is silent upon the page of dusty parchment....wandering As trumpets raise quietly and fingers rest lightly upon... A strum of syllabic scrawl awaits...wondering Rest Poet...for thee art mightier than the sharpest scything sword... As twilight wanes upon the flickered flame dancing. So shall the hand that touches souls... Rest poet....till the scrawl sings, the words ring.... and thy words dance the halls of passionate blue... |

I'm so glad your quill took a rest, from resting, to pen this one...it's quite fine! It has a restful quality to it, for certain. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

And with each rest, eloquence renewed. I had noted something lacking these pages...and I knew it had something to do with you. So good to have you here. TD |

the Muse has returned... so be it... this goes with with Midnitesun's earlier penning this day... I can see the Muse was busy, pushing many along... |

Hello Barry Your words danced off the page and touched my heart as they always do. For you my friend, "A friend bears the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails" Take care......Sue I am in motion |

As twilight wanes upon the flickered flame dancing. So shall the hand that touches souls... Rest poet....till the scrawl sings, the words ring.... and thy words dance the halls of passionate blue... Goodness, Barry, I miss reading your wonderful words. This is so, so beautiful.  Hugs, Ethel |

....but don't rest too long.... I rested for nearly three decades before I started writing again.....! Giving that field a fallow season is ok, but letting it go to brush like I did -- too much. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

A Great Write. Especially the ending. I never have enough patience waiting for the next idea but it's usually worth the wait. Thanks for sharing this. Good Will Always, Mystic Dreamer |

Barry, this is fantastic. But what do I do when I need my quill to wake up? Love your writes, always. Sandra |

Barry - a pen rested is with desires to write as never before. Never stop your pen from writing... BC |
