She Rides The Quilling Wind ~*Marge Tindal*~  Deep from within the inkwell she seeks the words to convey graying thoughts of a clouded mind on an otherwise sunshiny day~ Oh this magical moment when the fog lifts so she can see She rides the quilling wind to the edge of ecstasy~ Flourish of quill across the page in calligraphic surrender of it all Long before the ink has dried she's forgotten the winds of recall~ She hopes the wind will blow again taking her mind for a poetic ride Back to a time of yesterday's rhyme where her thoughts must surely hide~ Tonight she'll gather nostalgic garments trying them on for rhyme The words, the words ... she seeks the words from another place ... another time~ Penning thoughts, on infrequent flights unraveling too long in the well When all the mindstrings of the past come undone her ink-thoughts will no longer dwell~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I hear so much~ Thank you sweetie pie~ Catalina~ Couldn't ask for a nicer compliment~ Thank you~ MartieSis~ I think this one sort of sums us all up, ya' think ?

Is it any wonder I value the friendship of you ?  Thank you dear~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Flourish of quill across the page in calligraphic surrender of it all Long before the ink has dried she's forgotten the winds of recall~ WOW!!!!!!!!!!   ~ quilling hugsLyra |

Marge This is another beautiful write from your pen. This is exceptional... "Tonight she'll gather nostalgic garments trying them on for rhyme The words, the words ... she seeks the words from another place ... another time~ Penning thoughts, on infrequent flights unraveling too long in the well When all the mindstrings of the past come undone her ink-thoughts will no longer dwell~" Those memories of life and times are certainly a rich source of topics for a poet! Wonderful writing! |

Marge, It is always a plasure to open one of you poems. It is like the much talked about box of chocolate....you never know what you will get....a soft smile...a tear...a hearty laugh or deep reflection. But they all move me in some way.

Another beautiful and inspiring poem from you. This so touched my heart. '...Oh this magical moment when the fog lifts so she can see She rides the quilling wind to the edge of ecstasy~...' I have been in such a deep fog since January. I am so praying it will blow out to sea come Thursday, the day I officially retire. Please let it be a 'magical moment.' Hugs girlfriend, Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |

Dan~ It's so good to see you~ Thank you ... here's hoping you always find your favorite piece of poetry in my little box of chocolate offerings~ Magnus~ I thank you gentle poet~ Karilea~  BettyLou~ Oh ... you read me well my friend~ Thank you~ Marti~ My heartiest wish is that Thursday will be 'magical' for you~ For I know the work-stress that has been brought to bear on you ... just breathe deeply, click your heels together and repeat three times - "It's magical ! It's magical ! It's magical !"  That ought to do it ! Hmmmmmm ? Retired ... maybe you should just take a vacation to FLORIDA in September to celebrate !!! (well ... think about it !) *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Margie girl darling sister of my heart and holder of crystal dreams filled with rainbow’s hue. You know I’m going to say this is utterly utterly gorgeous don’t you. of course beloved sister you KNOW, you always do. The whole poem is crafted in wonder these two verse are especially beautiful, I love it. A perfect and outstandingly written piece of starlight, I utterly utterly love it Tonight she'll gather nostalgic garments trying them on for rhyme The words, the words ... she seeks the words from another place ... another time~ Penning thoughts, on infrequent flights unraveling too long in the well When all the mindstrings of the past come undone her ink-thoughts will no longer dwell~ You know I simply love this don’t you? Of course you do, no one places words with such a wonderfully deft touch as you do, I love it I really do it’s utterly utterly perfect. ILIWYWLT  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |
