The Trail We Leave I dreamed that I set sail last night Across a sea where people write And as they finish, pages drift To float awhile, to sink or shift. The briny air smelled of strange herbs And overhead, were nouns and verbs. They flew along, just looking for An open mind they could explore! Ideas popped into my head. Imagination, richly fed. The sea turned dark as printer's ink. A strong voice calling out,"please think, Before your paper feels a pen. The trail we leave is for wise men." So with a sigh, I turned away, For I had nothing left to say! Betty Lou Hebert |

The day will never come that you have nothing to say. This is very imaginative and springs from your fertile brain. Wonderful as always. Love, Joyce |

and yet, there will be another time, when others set sail on a sea of rhyme seeking adventure, pleasure and such. finding themselves alone, as castaways on a desert isle, smelling the salt in the air, feeling the warm winds blow and dreaming dreams, of things that never were! |

I’m glad I read this one. "The trail we leave is for wise men." So with a sigh, I turned away, For I had nothing left to say!" This is sound advice, which makes you very wise. Some people speak far too soon with really nothing to say. Loved it, Melton |

Very beautiful it almost seems like you and I are completely different which make if almost differcult to understand but through read a time or two I find it to be song that rolls off my tongue, also painting a clear yet beauitful image |
