This Too Shall Pass ~*Marge Tindal*~ Sometimes upon a mountain of strength comes a menacing shadow that lays across the shoulder of the boulder Drapes sorrow in muted shades of gray that does not go away with just the peeking streaking of the sun A dormant haze clinging to the landscape of life bringing intimate strife that is not easily sloughed off Scoff ! ... this too shall pass ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marge, free verse that has more in its composition than any structured verse I ever penned. I love the imagery in this write. It is Black Velvet! write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

All smiles here, Marge...the title says it all and the poem is absolutely perfect. Peace and light to you, my friend. *Krista Knutson* "Can't run fast enough Can't hide I can't fly I'm struggling with the limits of this ordinary life..." ~Tracy Chapman |
