I am forever falling a leaf swept up on a lonesome wind unsettled by the freedom of flight wanting only to return to the dust that bore me |

the dust often takes flight on wind as well, to be there to accompany those lonely leaves home again....journeys shared. we all are born and die, but its the "unsettling" inbetweens that determine how productive your next cycle will be. Ed, really really think this is a touching deeply affecting poem. I dont know the motivation, but your muse is dancing  |

I enjoyed this immensely on first reading... and enjoyed it even more as the depth of it settled into me. *S* The leaf has an excuse... it's no longer attached to the sustaining branches... but how many of us let fear cover us in familiar dust rather than risk that flight? *S* Excellent write!! |

Absolutely love this.  The clouds never expect it when it rains, but the sea, changes colour, but the sea, does not change. |

Outstanding write, Edder! This one no longer falls, but has landed nicely on Passions. Sadie |

Swept up...unsettled by the freedom...gotta love these lines. Perfect movement, developing the picture and making it personal at the same time. Well done, sir -- well done. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Edder darling poet supreme, my heart sister, Suthern, told me you could write well, in fact she said you wrote exceptionally well. I had to come and read, and I find that she has understated the case, you write utterly totally beautiful lines that caresses my soul with pure wonder. I find this piece utterly amazing, so perfectly presented, the words dropping into my soul like jewels of crystal clarity. An excellent poem and yes she’s right you are a writer of supreme excellence. I don’t come into the main forum much these days I tend to stay reading in the archives, but occasionally, I can be lured out into the brighter busy bustle, normally only if Suthern has laid a trail of wonder to temp me out. And I’m so glad I did in this case, else I wouldn’t have read your words and to miss them would have been a tragedy. Thank you for the gift of them as always Mushy   Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

Edder, what Marsha said times ten. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
