~ Chalice of Words ~

    


Emotions bleed from words
spilling into the cup
of knowledge

~the thirsty~

dry and parched
drink from this
golden chalice
filled with the elixir
of common bonding
flowing from the wellsprings
of life..

Partake of this nectar
which endlessly overflows,
nourishing the heart
and imbuing the soul
with the wisdom of those
who have sipped
from it's treasured contents
and passed it along
so that we all may drink...

~Drink~
oh drink my friends
and be quenched
by this chalice
of words...



It's better than I could have planned..
it's made me who I am...
{Trace Adkins}

Ah, your muse is home again
and your spirit is swelling...
this...this is a keeper...
because you didn't write it for you...

you wrote it for the universe...

Thank you to everyone, especially to my neice Staci for giving me a thought I was going to write about and then it aged in my mind to another wonderful thought....

and I can't think of anything that rocks more than having a drink from this wonderful fountain of words that sustains us here at Passions with so many great friends...who have inspired me so much....
hey ya'll....have a drink on me.
Peace and love to poetry land.
