When the heart is warm within not out
When words stay in that need to shout
When days all seem to be the same
If that is life, it’s such a shame

To find there’s peace within ones space
In there, to find the stress erase
To be at one as hours pass
Is that the dream of greener grass?

Things get drawn within the mind
Their meaning sometimes hard to find
But slowly all the lines make sense
And we look through the lived pretence

There’s times when we all need to talk
There’s times when we should take a walk
There’s freedom that we long to find
But ropes unseen the freedom bind

There’s joy to love and joy in thought
But every joy just can’t be caught
Consuming thoughts still flood the mind
Until the answers we can find

Hi Dixie, thought it was time to start mixing with the family again, Maureen helped me put the picture in, I have been trying for ages (just not smart enough).
Hope you have been well my friend, thanks for your reply, as always, very much appreciated. Will chat again soon.

Sincerely
Rick

~ one of the many fine thoughts you have for us today!

Rick, you are even more handsome in this photo than your previous one! An added bonus for your readers when they click on one of your poems!

You make us wait sooo long between your posts! ~ but your poems are worth the wait!

Hugs with love,

OMG Rick, so so good to read you and see you, you look fantastic...love the pic
Things get drawn within the mind
Their meaning sometimes hard to find
But slowly all the lines make sense
And we look through the lived pretence

Now I know why I've sorely missed you!

Thank you for sharing

Rick, it is good to see you back here. I wish you'd not stay gone so long. But i know, life gets in the way sometimes.

It's good to read this one again. Makes me want to go for a walk...on the beach...with a friend. And seeing as I have tonight off from work, I may just do that

Dear Dixie, how can I now stay away, enjoy your walk my friend, life too often gets in the way, but even when it does, my friends are in my thoughts.

Thanks for another reply, be well my friend and take care.

Sincerely
