Songs Of A Wayfaring Heart
~*Marge Tindal*~

These weary feet now walk the road
carrying such a heavy load
Yet always in the wooded lea
a song of joy comes to play~

I pause in listen to the past
of days when I thought life would last
longer than it might for most
realizing now, I hear the ghost
of Ancient Spirits in gentle drone
calling ... calling
calling me home~

With spirit not yet ready to go
I resist the invitation ... and so
they continue letting me
gather life's songs so merrily~

Praying I can always make the time
to sing my songs in gentle rhyme
So that when it comes my time to pass
I do so with songs all sung~

~In this life ... there are many songs that must yet be written and sung~

This is lovely and, as poets, that is the best we can hope for, isn't it?

Thanks for sharing your writes with me...I am back on my rhyme game now too.

Smiles...

Marge,

This is a lovely write, but one that I'm not really sure how to respond to. I know you have had health problems as of late, so I truly hope this is not something that you feel to be imminent for you.

A sweet, gentle wish that I think we all hope for... Marge, you've gone and pulled on my heartstrings again.

Very nicely done,

Good morning, Marge ... In the past few days, I have read these beautiful and meaningful words over and over again. Each time they sing to me for reasons we both know.

Thank you for this piece, as I consider it a personal gift from your heart and that of the ancients.

Love and hugs, Marti
