On gift of wind I could sometimes rise But gravity always Conquered dreams I envied clay Its power to stand In cube of brick In potter’s hand Then you offered Lift, life And love enabled Form More than mere castle By the sea With your touch I became me Did you hear my song As at last I soared? I had no mouth But oh, I sang Until again alone I shattered, Scattered grains On each breath of breeze Worth of me Just memory |

SweetSuthernLady~ Oh, but what a beautiful memory your footprints would make in someone's sand~  'More than mere castle By the sea With your touch I became me' *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

More than mere castle By the sea With your touch I became me Did you hear my song As at last I soared? I had no mouth But oh, I sang Until again alone I shattered, Scattered grains On each breath of breeze Worth of me Just memory amazing, this needs to go back to the top for everyone to enjoy... lovely, delightful...and so good to see you again, missed you |

I envied clay Its power to stand In cube of brick In potter’s hand ~*~ If I didn't know clay before, I know it now. Malleable... Well done, Ruth. |

Oh, suthern. This is worthy and beautiful, just like you! I know sometimes I have been picked up by the wind to feel free and confident, later to be placed on too familiar ground where I... We just have to stand and know that we are as valued as theflowers and rain. You are certainly one of my favorite poets and people. Take care. hugs, misce |
