What’s In A Name?

I’ve never launched
a single ship
I’m more jeans
and lace and pearls
simple in
my complication
a heart that pours
rain water
from a fall
from sky
a sleeve
that carries a heart
a wall builder
a forgiver
tune hung
on the wind
desert waiting
to bloom
that’s me
yes, that’s me

just the other day as I was doing the NYT puzzle, there you were . . .

but you have launched your own ship, Lady

But did you burn the topless towers of Ilium?

Nice poem
Nice hat

The wall came down once last century and what freedom and beauty it revealed......
It's all there...

(smiles) And you are the oasis in that desert which will make the desert turn into a rainforest of promise and forgiveness, where the remedies are ever so present! (kiss on cheek) "Spirited" is your middle name, dearest friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
