Strummer of my heart
drumming~

Shuffle on the shelf
complacing~

Echoes in the rafters
glaring~  

Prune me like a rose
entwined~

Curl around the vine
pining~

Run off through the sky
reaching~

Towel off my tears
indulging~

Water down around me
merging~

Turn my eyes to blue
insisting~

Briefly for a time
fulfilling~

And looking for your posts with longing...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Kinda like a dozen different emotions all
going off at the same time...  as a shuffle
might evoke..or emulate...

I like all the pieces...

Lori, welcome home!!  
I hope you enjoyed your vacation.
You taught us a new song with this write....
with a dance to go along with it. It was like
my feet wanted to move in a slow shuffle....
and I thoroughly enjoyed it, too    
Hugs to you, Lady

This is very different of you.  Lots of different thoughts, but you keep them all together.  I like it very much.

Hi BluesSerenade, Gee, I wish my mind strummed and shuffled that smoothly. If I was looking up into them rafters and shelves, shuffling away, reaching for the blue sky, I would probably start slipping on that merging water, and fall down, onto that rose bush, that badly needed some pruning!

Luckily, I’d have that towel for the tears. As I carefully tried to get unentwined. All the while, my heart drumming, in a somewhat fulfilling way, be it ever so briefly...

Yikes!

I’m sorry, I’m on some pretty strong cough syrup tonight...

(hiccup!)


I really liked this BluesSerenade!

I hope you had a great trip.

It’s nice to see you back!
