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...

I could have read on and on and on. Everything about this poem was perfection--the story, the rhythm, the emotion, the imagery...Absolutely captivating piece of writing.

Loving hugs,

Karilea, You are such a gosh darn amazing writter. You manage to write the most fascinating and brilliant poems without a flaw.

This held my interest and left me wanting to read more.

I love your imagination, Karilea. You are always bringing us to unexplored lands... Wonderful poem.
