Near twelve months now since words I’ve written Since sharing life and thoughts within But by the bug again I’m bitten Searching place to now begin It’s been a while and much has been My heart has smiled as I have changed Now older but have clearly seen And with life’s puzzle now arranged I needed words to fill a space But slowly it was filled with time With choices that all fell in place Until again my words would rhyme This life is one with many roads Of turns so tight they’re hard to take Of feathered weights to braking loads Of days and choices that we make So hi again my fellow friends I’m back again to share this place To feel a joy that seldom ends Through words that smile with care and grace |

You are such an honest to goodness poet, Rick. Your writing expresses a sense of unity and compassion, and I always come away with good feelings after reading you. |

Hello Rick, I've joined during your absence so you're like a new member to me and me to you. I enjoyed your writing above and will be looking for more from you. Sometimes life pulls in a different direction than we had planned and we have no choice but to give in to the pull. Welcome Home, Marcia |

This life is one with many roads Of turns so tight they’re hard to take Of feathered weights to braking loads Of days and choices that we make So beautifully expressed, dear Rick. It's wonderful to have you back here. Do you have news of our friend LindsayP? Love, Margherita |

Well written words... not sure what brought you back but I'm glad you are posting again. My personal muse tends to incline toward the less holier emotions, but always, her words end up here. Michael |
