She borrows but returns tenfold she says "people don't talk to me anymore 'cause I'm always taking their lines" and like a spirit of ghost she sweeps in sweeps up sweeps away and I find myself searching, searching for my line a snippet of thought a line of pain a gesture gained and I turn the page there they are… four or five or six words strung together in a weave such as I cannot believe those words stemmed from my thoughts and now they have been wrought with mystery and magic and music by her pen… she is remarkable and funny downright seriously gifted I don't know the all of her or the wheres and whys and hows of her I just know she borrows my words and returns them, tenfold. |

She does - and does it so well and in return inspires us (and you in particular) to write new beautiful words |

Ya know - You're absolutely right... She does that to me all the time - "Can I use those words?" says she... Then - I see them in her work - sounding much more eloquent than I ever did... Nice tribute, my friend...  |

Sunshine, what a lovely poem! It would be hard for anyone to return this tenfold! To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Sunshine, what a lovely write, so well done. I could be a borrower if I wasn't such a thief, then you could write about me in such glowing terms. Write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

sometimes going to the library is just like grinning because you get to borrow the book, but you also get to give it back and get another one...... just a thought |
