Bits of a Journal – from the Soddy, date unknown And you, my dear make smiles light secret places where whispers touch and hums turn to song... Watch the mists as they do part for in the glen is where we start upon a pathway for only two above the green, beneath the blue Carry courage, comfort, values, heart as the wind carries all dreams start talk in quiet as you lay the stick as the mists fold in so thick They are for us but a blanket of thought when future's past is a glimpse of caught And you, my dear make smiles light secret places where whispers touch and hums turn to song... Eager are the hands to hold all that will would turn to gold see the sheaf from boot appear and see the growth of golden ear See the tassels in the blow see the gifts to reap what’s sowed see these treasures spark your eyes what should change but realize For they are but now a blanket of thought when future's past is a glimpse of caught And you, my dear make smiles light secret places where whispers touch and hums turn to song... Harsh the winds that scour earth ravaging that we hold as worth shrill the bird before the quiet when thunder reigns, a mighty riot Earthly pelts of swift flung ice may crops be saved, a season twice? Might we face the coming year Or shall the elephant see our fear? For this is now the blanketed thought when future's past is a glimpse of caught And you, my dear make smiles light secret places where whispers touch and hums turn to song... It is to you I turn to find a courage strengthened like rooted vine a cup of water to salve my thirst to know this is not the worst we strive again, a forward path knowing this is not God’s wrath but nature come, as nature goes wending joy and wending woes For this I keep, a blanket of thought when future's past is a glimpse now caught And you, my dear make smiles light secret places where whispers touch and hums turn to song...

What a beautiful love song and story! I'm going to keep this in my library. From the soddy - ah, lovely! That deep love can carry people through dreadful experiences unscathed. Fortunate were the pioneers who loved each other dearly! [This message has been edited by Rosemary J. Gwaltney (04-30-2002 12:27 PM).] |

Ahh, Sissie, what a lovely bit of soddy you present here. Probably in no other time of history did the family have to stick together in the hardships of the plains, to raise their families and tame the land...very gentle smile |

"For this I keep, a blanket of thought when future's past is a glimpse now caught And you, my dear make smiles light secret places where whispers touch and hums turn to song..."  (smiles) Oh Karilea, your Soddy series never ceases to amaze me, sweet friend, you write just as if you were living in the nineteenth century in Kansas and seeing the world in its peaceful and pastoral gorgeous point of view! (big hugggsssssss) This is absolutely beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

A thoughtful write, Karilea. There is so much wisdom to be learned from looking where we thought we couldn't. Hugs! |
