Just The Morning This is it, just the morning for the gaze into my soul, because of foggy haze laying low across the land, white and gray this is the morning for the gaze. There is always a quiet reverie come to my bones in such a way as to not chill, nor to scare away any old ghosts, but come to play in all the words I had to say. Gray now the morning, misty cool, ah youth, such a vigorous fool and the tears, would fill with rain the pool of the life in which I swam of which is gone, stronger I am. This is it, just the morning for the gaze into my soul, because of foggy haze laying low across the land, white and gray this is the morning for the gaze. 3 May, 2000 ©KRJ Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Sunshine, i like the imagery of this....ah, that early morning foggy haze, and the ghosts that come to play. ~~nice writing~~ A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |

Beautiful! Simply beautiful! This must be one of my favorites in all of yours which I have read. Strikes a strong chord inside of me. So much truth, and so meticulously worded. This is wonderful. |

You all blew me away with your fantastic comments. I am sitting here...humbly thanking you all for such delightful sentiments...thank you, thank you... |

In my opinion the best writing is done spontaneously. I love this one by the way. All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |
