Inside-Out ~*Marge Tindal*~ Across this morn of feathered adorn in quietude of serenity I took pause to wonder just who gifts such thoughts to me~ Then there came soft baring winds to buffet me about reached the chasm of my soul turning me inside-out~ And there they stood in joyous view as far as I could see The many faces of those who live deep inside of me~ Each one holding a vital link that binds me to my ink-of-think Individually apart ... yet together they make me who I am this day~ As each one joined in hand-held circle I felt such calming ease Smiling in recognition of gentle face that came to whisper love ... pure love in gifting of poetic grace~ To hold them all inside this heart seemed so selfish of me ... but when I tried to set them free they crawled back into the heart of me To live once more in inking-stain gently through my poetic refrain~ To stand outside and look within is to hope you understand what I mean when I say to you ... I didn't write this piece ... it was *gifted* to my hand~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

ah, tis so. Inside resides the poet, our hand the instrument of travel to the outside world. Lovely indeed. In truth, what defines us is our poetry. |

Marge, I do believe I understand what you mean....for there are many times that I have been given...to then turn around and give in return.... Love this poem, such reflection and truth. |

Yes, Marge...they are always gifts. It seems to me that we leave them as small treasures for others to find, to life a spirit, to guide a way... yes, gifts, indeed... |

It takes a heart as big as yours to hold that crowd. *G* But I'm so grateful they refuse to leave you... for as they guide your pen, you give us treasures to cherish. *S* This is beautiful, Miss Marge of the Many Muses. *S* |

I like that..."ink of think" line. Like this so much too.. "And there they stood in joyous view as far as I could see The many faces of those who live deep inside of me~" All good faces I must add and very creative faces! |
