Stopping by PIP

going in to read
a click
a scan
a span
perusing the eye-view
of a fellow passenger
on life’s road

usurping his/her thoughts
trying them on for size or sighs
drinking in the atmosphere
breathing in the scent
of love,
or joy,
or sorrow,
or pain;
hoping the rain
will soothe
refresh
renew

ending in a puddle
or a pool
fighting off the cruel
with prayer and faith
then nodding
understanding,
sighing camaraderie
in peace

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

tolerance, forgiveness and renewal,
becoming better than we were and changing into all we're meant to be.

Bless you VAS, enjoyed, Pat

Virginia

A worthy trip you take
because you read with spirit eyes.

Don't know about 'tolerance'...that I'd say when something is potentially annoying and there are only a variety of styles to peruse
some to admire more than others..
To me  is a welcome conjecture of the motives we have

(smiles) Oh Virginia, this is so well-said, sweet friend, you always express yourself so well as we all are here for different reasons but have one thing in common: the voice! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
