Just … If~
~*Marge Tindal*~

If I should pass this way again
as word-thoughts in your head
Know, my friend, I live again
though some may think me dead~

There are too many words to pen
and nowhere is there time
to spill this ink-of-thinking gift
in foreverly poetic rhyme~

In a quiet meadow
I will come to you
Listen … just listen
It’s all you have to do~

I cannot take the words with me
and there’s too much left to say …
Come to the meadow now, my friend
we must not wait another day~

Catch my word-thoughts and pen them
when I am gone so far away
Keep the spirited poetess of me breathing
for though I tried …
……… I cannot stay~

Marge my sister of heart...The meadow, the place where your heart abides, is beautiful.  

But this, "for though I tried …
……… I cannot stay~"

frightens me.

you have not truly met the poet.

Marge, for years I have listened to your heart and read your beautiful words. And I hope your little Delaney will be blessed with your gift of rhyme.

How I long to walk through your meadow with you, but for now, I walk in spirit with your words.

Stay awhile longer; you are loved and read over and over again.  

Hugs and Luvs, Marti

Thank you all dear poets and friends~
If ever there was a 'legacy' I am to leave ... it would be my poetic word-thoughts to surround you ...

I appreciate each gentle kindness bestowed through your lovely replies and your hands held in friendship foreverly ... and beyond~

Watch, wait ... and always promise to listen ... for it is the key to all you will ever need to unlock the words in the meadow~
