Touching Time’s Leaves Time was, it was only right to know this, then that, then something more; all sure, all circumspect; all correctly formed, verbatim, ergo, with a mea culpa now and then; when life turned over, easy, like a solemn page having found summer, a leaf of some great sheaf where stories were yet to be told ~ and I wondered, was it my finger that touched a page, was it my eyes that took a long, hard look, then closed a chapter, when then, in some new, unfamiliar way chose to start a new editorial, with blank pages here, now, before my eyes, as if awaiting some muse to restore all losses gained. Funny thing was, and yes, funnier it is, that I have willingly wandered into this new library of life, where it is not so dusty, nor overwhelming, where laughter is heard, even under a shushing breath… there is reason again, beyond the chain of rope to touch leaves, learn more, breathe easy, and with some no little glee, rejoice. A commemoration to life, all new beginnings, and for every poet’s special sigh. [This message has been edited by Sunshine (07-07-2007 03:42 PM).] |

Enjoyed this, Sunshine, and, oh, to breathe easy is something I long for but just can't seem to make happen. |

Karilea, New beginnings are likely the best adventure of all. I am eager to know how it goes. And congratulations. Lovely write.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

I am especially fond of: “when life turned over, easy, like a solemn page having found summer, a leaf of some great sheaf where stories were yet to be told ~ ” and: “I have willingly wandered into this new library of life, where it is not so dusty, nor overwhelming, where laughter is heard” Applause!! |

I have willingly wandered into this new library of life, where it is not so dusty, nor overwhelming, where laughter is heard, even under a shushing breath… And that laughter is reason enough for rejoicing! *S* Congratulations, dear lady... may you find fulfillment and happiness in this new endeavor... They're lucky to have you! *S* Beautiful write!!! |

This whole poem brought a smile to my face... Just as everyone said "rejoice" there has never been such a perfect word... |

I'm so pleased for you for your new job and your joy with it. Some time ago in place quite far A "Joyce" I met in dim-lit bar I traveled on to other burg Another Joyce became my urge I pondered while our beers were hoisting I guess you'd say I was "re-Joyceing." Congrats!! Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Sunshine, This is nice. However, it is two long sentences. I'd think of breaking it up a little to make it easier to follow. Bobby |
