i'm just walking the day along
minding my own sorrow
my own tummy turmoil
my own unsettled heart
and brandled mind
and there she comes
spreading a cheshire smile
under my nose
and right on to the nape hairs
still clinging to the back of my head

guess the only answer is
I've landed myself in a Martiedom.

it's much like riding in a cable car
bells and all
settling the track
toward Fisherman's Wharf
sunlight glinting off
the gleaming red and gold
metal casing around me

just a simple, unexplainable
delight

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Speaking of causing smiles...what do you think you just did? (and guess what, I needed some) Thank you so much for writing this. I am so glad that some small words of feeling of mine brightened your day.

Hugs and

What a nice picture you have portrayed.
could see the white caps breaking across the bay. Gosh, a smile never looked so good!

This was a stunning tribute to a fine lady!
I thoroughly enjoyed this VAS~

=========================

yes this is a delight.. and yes she is....
her poetry takes us away to places we might not ever see. I always tell her the view is lovelier thru her eyes.
This was a sweet gesture and sharing of poetry Virginia..so nice to find you here today.
take care

Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much ...
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch.
