The magic is in your eyes,
your touch, your scent
It plays upon your finger
tips
the creases in your palms
and the sun dappling
your golden mane
as a fallen leaf
not dying
but rebirthed
into a new season
tossed from its berth
riding the wind
testing time
and settling upon the ground

It plays upon your finger

it has blown in the past with
its crutch its old age and its widsom
it whispers no this won't be the last

G'morning Baby

You are just FULL of poetry, aren't you?

Better n' better too! (I know, I'm partial...But it's true)

Love you Susie!
*great big cat that ate the bird smile*

Umm, that was meant to be read as ~ "I'm wearing a great big "cat that ate the bird" smile (hmm, that's just as bad huh? Sheesh!)

Excellent!  Thank you for sharing.

Place your hand gently upon the living Oak,
and it will talk with you;
turn and walk away continuing your path,
its spirit follows you;
become burdened and distracted by the stream of life,
and it waits for you.

Ready for the bizarre?  Your lines here:

"as a fallen leaf
not dying
but rebirthed
into a new season
tossed from its berth"

Seem to answer these lines that I wrote yesterday but didn't finish:

I watch leaves tumble to their death
Noting their colorful descent
Wondering why they don’t protest
Or maybe I just don’t hear their resist

hmmmmmmmm...

Sue...beautiful writing and everything you two have been writing paints a beautiful picture of what it is all about...

"if you won't let me fall for you
then you won't see the best that I would love to do for you"

It is obvious to me that love does see every single thing though different eyes, and that is a good ting SusieQ.

(smiles) Yay! Oh Sue, this is gorgeous, sweet friend, know that the seasons will always cycle and a leaf never dies but is only brought back to life and love does just that! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Sue?...sorry I'm so late in getting to this.  
I've been slacking big time and finally
playing 'catch up'..or trying to.

Anyway...yes...you've described him perfectly...
but then you already knew that...smile

Simply beautiful, sis

Love it...love YOU...

love of power the world will know peace.
