The Fountain There’s a well of peaceful knowledge deep within me, a fountain that sustains; I drink it always. Since I found it, it’s become my center, both the strength in every breath and the reason why I take it, source of what I am and answer to the riddle of my life. That fountain, source and sustenance, that very constant answer, is simply that I love you. |

Oh, my goodness. This poem is simply outstanding. It touches deeply. Too many phrases/lines to quote, but these, I love: "in every breath and the reason why I take it, source of what I am" The entire poem is perfect. So enjoyed. Thank you for sharing it and your talent with us. This is definitely one I shall keep. Hugs, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

'S ok, Martie, I may not need that advice after all. Right now I'm thinking that I may never post another word to any PIPtalk forum. Some folks here have a bit of explaining to do, if they want to keep me as a participant. I'll check back here one more time, maybe tomorrow, and also look over my E-mail then to see if there's anything in either place that gives me a reason to stay. It's a special day, so I won't be doing either today -- why spoil a good thing? It's been a joy and I will miss every single person I've met here, some of them terribly, but as of right now it looks like I'm no longer a member of this group. |
