A time to be
like a hovering cloud
pregnant with waters suspended
to tumble over a cracked barren ground
useless
~ ~ ~
A time for seeming
gray and lifeless, a floating feather
in a winter wind; my lively beaches have
smoothed to an endless sheet of dry sleek desert
emptied
~ ~ ~
A time it is
for being buried in a snowfall
beneath wild whistling skies of indomitable
swirling emotions; and frozen
alive
~ ~ ~

< !signature-->

The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G.

RoseMary~
Your words are like the soft rippling current of the stream, puddling in the rill to be leisurely enjoyed.

You're so talented.
I admire your work.

Dearest,

I do hope I have a little heat left... maybe keep us both alive... I have to go along with Martie... "To look through your eyes always puts me in a state of wonder" Yep that says it all.

All my love. "D"

Rosemary, It's so wonderful to read your words again. The are very powerful ones, and so descriptive of a spirit taking a little tumble (or maybe a little break)
Very nice piece
