We float at times delicately
above what does seem real.
As soft as finest eider-down
in contrast to hard steel .

With words we buffer life's assaults
diminishing their force.
The pen who's path is wandering
may yet find it's true course.

To see that which when once revealed
shall keep us all aloft ,
on winds imagination brings
that blow so ever soft ,

across the page that once was blank
and called out to be filled .
For there if for one moment brief ,
anxiety is stilled .

Thank you my friends for this one gift
that takes me from the fray .
For if I were to perish now ,
I've more than words can say .

The gift of these words touch my heart
deeply...I would have never found the peace
that is within me now if not for the voice
of others in their poetry...A beautiful
message Dr. you have woven words to line the
heart~


You cannot dance in the sun until you have cried in the rain~

This is a poem filled with kindness. I enjoyed it very, very much.

over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey.""
