Thank you Paula again for your beautiful poem. It touched me deeply and so I respond with this poem

To Paula - Of Fallen Sparrows

Paula, you have warmed a heart
That witnessed love and life depart
And in your words were interlaced
Essence devine to be embraced

A fallen sparrow in the wind
Is but a pluck of violin
A single note within the song
A valid part of life’s belong

It is for us to learn to fly
The given pathway in the sky
One falls in red of sunset's light
We carry on in feathered flight

And though the well's soft waters seep
In little drops of sorrow’s weep
There comes a season of relief
When God has winessed our belief

And never will the spirit roam
Til God has called his sparrows home

This is really beautiful Liz.

If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us.
