There is a spread before me and nothing do I see no morsel tender whets my lips I'm starving, at a feast. Each one beckons, calling for me to dip my spoon... and I sit with empty plate, a victim of too soon. To weep at time of gratitude bespeaks my sorry attitude, and regret of my lament and all the labor I have spent-- I dream of just a drop of wine my eyes are vague they travel time... to wonder where you are... |

Excellent idea Serenity, reminds me of "water water everywhere but not a drop to drink", I'm sure when the time is right you will find a mouthwatering morsal to tuck in to  . Wonderfully written, I enjoyed it.Regards, Olias. |

it is so hard to enjoy live when your heart is not there... but my, you do provide inspiration... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

There is all this food set before you But nothing to sink your teeth into All of this to drink But nothing to your taste, you think How do I put this gently That what you search for so intently To satify that for which you long Has been sitting beside you all along I have often found that what I am most intently looking for has been by my side all along. I was just neglected to look in the most obvious place. Right beside me. The White Wolf |

What an excellent piece of work!! Truly fine! Sauni Sauni :) Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps |
