Let find it's path , expressive thought in brevity of line . Though distances between are vast intent has need to shine . Neglect percieved glows falsely bright against the light of truth , as time conspires to steal away what freely gave in youth . A graven image carved in stone would speak too late , my mind . Of thanks for all the kindness shown lest I become inured , by toil spent at substances cost incurred along the way , my fervent hope , perhaps not lost you'll find these words some day . And there-by know such gifts bestowed were taken to the heart , that though a-field may yet still yield them back in some small part . These eyes have come to realize though fools may have their day , no kindness is without reward , a jewel that finds it's way ... to rest upon deserving brow crost time as if t'were not. As evidenced in words that now may say what I forgot. |

Dr. Moose, I find your writing mentally invigorating, and this is certainly no exception. You've the skill of a natural craftsman and the perception of an artist when it comes to the written word. This is such an admirably poetic way to express gratitude. Rainydays |

DrMoose~ I'm always inspired after a read of your thoughts - 'my fervent hope , perhaps not lost you'll find these words some day .' 'no kindness is without reward , a jewel that finds it's way ...' 'As evidenced in words that now may say what I forgot.' I will take these thoughts to heart for reflective pondering. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
