It's time you say to write this way to fill the gaps with loving thoughts. So I will try and inside pry allowing out what's inside sought. Soft words, soft thoughts ~soft smiles~ of old. One heart to heart in hand to hold. Who said go back and search the files whose edge of love is in those smiles~ My mind is skewed, distorted view when darkness shadows mind in stray. But cold has warmed and I'm transformed when said the "un" in such a way. I taste your fears discovering mine. The moon can't lose its full of shine. For time is time both ours to keep with miles to go in travel's sleep. ~~*~~ One heart to heart in hand of old. Soft words, soft thoughts ~soft smiles~ in hold. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." (Will Moss) |

One must write what is. There are folks who sprinkle salt in their beers. Sometimes, I suppose, via tears. While the advisors are perhaps well meaning it does a body good to release the smoke even if the readers in the clouds are frustrated by an inability to read its' signals or discomforted by the notion of the fire that invariably feeds it. Better to stay rooted in cold ground, isolated and await the thaw in patience than allow others to cut you down, plant you in tepid water, tinsel and string you with lights for their seasonal amusement. Inevitably they become bored and toss you like a dead tree into the landfill. "There is here no measuring with time, no year matters, and ten years are nothing. Being an artist means, not reckoning and counting, but ripening like the tree which does not force its sap and stands confident in the storms of spring without the fear that after them may come no summer. It does come. But it comes only to the patient, who are there as though eternity lay before them, so unconcernedly still and wide. I learn daily, learn it with pain to which I am grateful: patience is everything!" -'Letters to a Young Poet' Rainer Maria Rilke You posted this in darkness and by now it is light in beautiful California and I'd wager you feel better already. So cry in your beer. There are those who will join you in its' toasting. |

wow Richard...what a response... actually I am in PA so the light came earlier and I am in a ~softened mood~ feeling contented and just tried to write something less sad ( been goaded into it)...guess it didn't come across that way. When I finally hear the "unheard" which was the "un" (laughing here) and I flash back to the past few years and my life I am actually recalling the pleasant. It must be true...that usually the poet is the only one "knowing" what he/she means...and each gathers the familiar for their "own" OH..and the title? well I only had half a beer and look what my mind sheds...(I don't do well with alcohol and rarely drink, among other reasons~~) Thanks again~~ M And for you Seymour...morning hugs |

Don't know why I thought you were a California girl. Better still you are in my home state. You made it plain you were goaded. To thine own self be true. |
