Warm winds turned Now chasing left over limbs Half broken to hang In useless mockery Of the form and beauty That was before Some fall Adding their mass To the piles of debris Destined for shredder Some sway Desperately clinging To pinnacles once Stretched higher By their naked fingers I observe Turning up collar once again To ward of the chills To hide my flesh From such icy touch Turning my eyes away I think of how like those limbs We have become |

Blues: Yes..I think we have learned to bend as we grew, yet at times even the bend will over stress and break. Thanks for the words...and for taking time to read. Seymour: Thank you Sir... yes all things change, and those of us that have been around a while know that all too well. Interloper: Depends on what schedule you took doesn't it? ;-) |

Cpat, 'How like those limbs we have become' Wow so true, life never stays the same, it's ever changing...but we should always keep striving to hold on the things that mean the most to us! I love this Hugs Cindi |

Cpat, sometimes we are stripped bare to be renewed at a later time. Good write Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
