How soft the breezes blow upon my cheek In all the ways to know connections that I seek Turned into wells that surface clear and pure Each time reminded of the reasons to endure Always there beneath these lowered lids to peek A world so large and loud, a mind to find times meek Through shake and bake of sun and storm stands tall Amid the quivers danced in colors form an ever-bearing wall The crowning glory of a rich and noble dream Away from tempest squalls un-tampered baste and seam How good reminders to think broad in reach and reap White trimmed trunks to posture footings thoroughly in seep How soft the breeze remains to comfort here In chase of wanderings and echoes fauna fleet to cheer And given in a velvet purse to soothe the ripples out How soft the breeze that blows the trees in sharing round about Copyright Kkh 3/5/03 |

Always there beneath these lowered lids to peek A world so large and loud, a mind to find times meek Through shake and bake of sun and storm stands tall Amid the quivers danced in colors form an ever-bearing wall Your words never fail TD~ Thank you always for sharing your gift of poetry, it is endearing and so very special. |
