Playing with words is how I draw come see come saw a cup of living grace not flaw covers bewildered and stays the gate Tripping on eccentricity's electricity not late or fate taste of vegetarian with a hint of straw to draw the tooth and grin the truth Can you name the holy gist not quiz of sky but behind the eye Listen and wait mark the path keep the turns straight back across the free up so tree and down so road just know Sing past tune hope and bless the silent sky and closed eye rest as stars fall down weep not the cost of what is lost The sky will dry and all will sun again where the shadows live in afternoon come some soon how is now |

"Tripping on eccentricity's electricity not late or fate taste of vegetarian with a hint of straw to draw the tooth and grin the truth" Loved this part! This is a fun one to read outloud, Martie. |

I'll have some of what you are having, Martie Flowers! That's choice nectar you're sipping! Not only are you "Coloring Outside the Lines", you're coloring below the lines, beside the lines, on top of the lines, through the lines and all around the lines! This was cleverly written and fun to read! Like Kacy, I read it out loud as well! ![]() ![]() Linda |
