My friends are all so many, if I search or truly need But solitude I seem to like, from it my thoughts can seed But when that time I have alone, that seed seems not to flower Some stolen time of inner peace, does quickly take the hour When time alone, I guilty feel, if actions please my heart Duties many pleasures steal, as guilt pulls right apart So then the day becomes a chore, amounting not to much The writing that I wished to do, had lost its writer’s touch So moments I do try to steal when company is close And somehow stolen moments, seem to give my daily dose And they’re the words I share with you my friends in poet land And I believe, none better, than you would understand So steal a moment when you can, to write your masterpiece And let your heart and soul both meet, to beauty just release Be happy for the little time of pleasure with your love Then all the souls of heaven’s wealth, will smile from world above |

  (big hugggssssss) Oh Rick, I know this kind of feeling all so well, I always feel so fortunate when I even only have a half-an-hour to write because that is my love and now I am starting to play guitar to begin a songwriting pasttime, and when those who love me are around, I always try and spend the most time I can with them too! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Rick, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Empathetically understood. Sometimes stealing is a good thing. Thanks for this, Rick "As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it." Wendell Berry |

Rick - I enjoyed this very much. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
