I wish for time, for moments to breathe; these days pile up like bricks on my chest.  There are many wonderful posts here that slip past my eye, people who write such beautiful words.  If I even tried to name those that came to mind I would still forget someone, regret something.  So to each, I've enjoyed what you've shared, treasured what you've bared and I hope my tide changes soon.  Continue on, leave this delicious trail of breadcrumbs, I will catch up again.  And now something for those of brown eyes and blue eyes and green eyes and two eyes... you know who you are.    




O Gentle Rose


You once found,
I should never lose.
May you be lasting as the moon
and stay precious as a rose.
I admire your kind manners
and the generous, honorable quality
you so embody.
Hear how your voice is soft,
sweet and whisperish;
it is an excellent thing.
You are a woman
special of any devotion.
May you be mother to your children
and lover to your companion
with all the understanding
life has given you.
A fine lady like you is hard to hide
for you radiate the essence
of your very soul.
May I hold on right to you
as a gentle rose.
