Cast Me Away Not It is too very easy to be despondent in a world of cast-aways when all good things with life therein simply through time do not stay. I would hearken back to the 30’s even though it was dust-bowl dirty that every little piece of heart owned was tightly held against the wind a’blowing. Ah those times, when all precious things in form brought back sweet memories of strife torn days, and hours sweetly played ~ ah, how it was when cast-aways stayed. When on this globe, nothing over months of age would dare to center this world’s stage, without being jeered at as “commonplace” and such this very act gives me provoked rage. So when it’s apparent that I collect treasures do not regard it as a measure of wealth, when wealth is inherently one’s health, but that it is an art’s form that my eyes measure. Finally, cast me away not upon a heap of rubble, but remember that I gave you sunshine bubbles, to ride upon to blue skirted skies and do not cast me, or others, nigh. 12 January, 2000 ©KRJ Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Wise words wrapped in poesy Very well, it is done by thee I’m out of words..for it is so good Your work elegantly...I lift my hat as i should. Thank you The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Michael, you cannot be a cast-away, for you are HERE! Again, thanks to everyone for allowing my cup to overflow and my sometimes sickening cheer to enter your worlds. {Yes, I've been told I cannot be THIS happy always...} Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
