I am writing to you without rhyme, and without reason.
I am simply writing from the me of me to the you of you.
~just letting the words flow without intent,
letting my emotions flow with no apologies to be given.
I do not know where this journey of the heart will take us,
nor do I plan to gaze into my crystal ball in search of answers.
I am enjoying this exhilarating and adventurous ride
into destination unknown.
The uncharted waters before us
offer no promises,
but I do know this,
I will carry with me~paddles,
to keep us moving forward,
oars to stay the course,
and life preservers
to keep us afloat
in rough waters.

I loved this, Linda. Life really is an adventure, exploring uncharted waters. And at times we need a life preserver to save ourselves from sinking!

(smiles) And I'll bring along the compass rose of heaven, which truly is a rose with a butterfly to help show us the way, yay! (kiss on cheek) Yay, we make good Angel Scouts, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I doubt you that you would have to go that far, Dear Troubadour! Perhaps she would will say those words, is nearer than you think...

I am rather partial to those words as well. They are simple but they do appear to have conveyed what I wanted them to convey!
Thank you!

Lovin' hugs,

I write to YOU
with reason and rhyme
To let you know
your poem was fine!

Don’t worry ‘bout
what can’t be seen
We’ll go forth in
a submarine!


Great write Linda!

Earth Angel...I missed this one; but I am so glad I read it. This is just so exceptionally well-expressed and full of the innermost feelings of your heart. Beautiful, just beautiful. ***Ivy Rose
