Drifting I stood arms folded on a wall Gazing into nothing at all. Just mulling thoughts of large and small Supported by a red brick wall. I thought about the world at large This ride upon a planets barge And thought about a way of raj Of all the payments and the charge. But nothing came of any awe Not a spore or pour or wherefore I stood before an open door That seemed to me blank evermore. Then sweetly came the softest yell That woke me from this listless spell And I could tell from where it dwell It was my love my tinker bell. She knew I’d gone beyond the hill Where lives the ghostly whip-poor-will. |

it's nice to know that if and when one must be disturbed from their thoughts, that for you, in came from your tinker bell... that one being that should know you so well... |

You're not over any hill ... there's lots of fire left in you still You're not drifting out to sea ... you're sailing infinity with dignity There's still a twinkle in your eyes ... you still sigh with the butterflies You share with us your wisdom of gold ... there is no shame in growing old It's not about the years gone by ... it's about the times you touched the sky It's not about age, thats all in the mind ... it's about the things you leave behind It's about not being afraid to try ... and then finding out you really can fly Everyday we learn from your gifted rhyme ... lessons learned handed down thru time Teachings of the golden rule ... kissed with cadence and your essence of cool You light our fire ... take us higher ... in your entire ... you define inspire Thank you Sy for all that you do ... for all that you are ... all that is you.  *winkiewinkie* love you Sy...thank you  me |

JM went the same place I did with the over hill line...  Enjoyed the read very much. It is a sweet, lyrical poem that is well crafted. |

Seymour~ I perceived a moment of what I refer to as - a hesitation waltz in time ... that faraway meadow where only our daydreams or daymares reside~ I 'go to the meadow' ... often ~  Thank you for this gentle touching piece. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

JM, You will ever be my Tinker Bell. Winkiewinkie Stinky. PS. Your poem was a delight. VAS, Thank you for the read and nice comment. Marge, I've seen you in the meadow many a time in some of your poem. *L* Sy Sunshine, Thanks for the boost, you could have read it without a comment. *L* |

Sy, your musings take you to the most interesting places, and to be brought back to reality by Tinkerbell is magic indeed. write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Seymour... you just keep on drifting if your wake-up call yields such delightful verse. *S* And JM's addition is great... the two of you have joined to create a place I want to drift for hours. *S* |
