Nothing yet but not to say
the mail man’s gone away
but rather that the sender
went one day on a bender
and forgot to put in motion
the package of intention.

But the package of intention
large, heavy, in retention
sinks quickly to the bottom
of the cumbersome
and lies like a thing ignored
in a lifetime’s bottom drawer.

It cannot wiggle toes
or dance to the tune of woes
and as it haunts the halls of time
sad and sorrowful the eyes
that ne’er can see the sun
or a deed, completed, done!

Dear Helen, you have no idea how this speaks to me right now ... how many times we are so full of enthusiasm and our intentions seem on the way of realization, when we suddenly get distracted and forget about the power of intention!

We must check those drawers regularly I suggest!

Incredibly insightful and well written!

Love,
Margherita

Yo dear Helen,

It's a good rule to finish everything that you start.

Love Bobby

Dear Helen I would definately check that

parcel again, who knows you may have missed something important within. Love.
