Oh, To Be... Virginia Salter oh, to be a feather floating on the wind wafting over treetops, rising over sand free to be an adventurer traveling over earth unattached and sovereign, ignorant of birth yet then my heart would be lonely it would cry out to belong it’s flesh would ever weaken and be absent of its song it’s better to be shackled by the ties of love and blood than to run amok and broken in a meandering’s flood so let me be not lonely let me not be as a stone rolling in the wilderness lost and all alone rather let me be free to love and cling to the joy of love and laughter wonders that make me sing © June 1, 2000 |

yet then my heart would be lonely it would cry out to belong it’s flesh would ever weaken and be absent of its song . . . so let me be not lonely let me not be as a stone rolling in the wilderness lost and all alone rather let me be free to love and cling to the joy of love and laughter wonders that make me sing ************* Oh....."to be or not to be, that is the question" and it is always seem to be such a hard one..... Let me be all that I could be and in that set me free love eternally Thank you for such a beautiful touching read ******************** It's only me.......only me I hope that would suffice eternally {{to cross a sea of wonder, and hold close at heart all dreams}} [This message has been edited by MyEnchanted_Melody (edited 06-08-2001).] |

Great write Virginia! I felt the thought comparison as the theme.....Liked this verse.. " it’s better to be shackled by the ties of love and blood than to run amok and broken in a meandering’s flood" |

Thank you all!!! I had rather forgotten about this one, you will see it, as well as the two others I posted today were written last June. Your encouraging words and highlighted stanzas have brought it to ever greater light for me. Thank you all...and Interloper, many people would in fact emphasize that "once in a while" invitation  as I so often write from 1 to 3 a day. I'm trying not to write a new one today since I wrote so many yesterday. This morning the sunlight caressed my knee and thigh with a lovely bathing warmth in the morning's coolness. I thwarted the 'pen' however and just posted oldies and read and replied, so far.Thanks, again, all!!! oops, I also posted 2 or 3 in Spiritual Journeys *blush* [This message has been edited by VAS (edited 06-08-2001).] |
