Dear girley friend...wishing you a birthday morning just like this poem that I've come to realize is your favorite of mine.  Happy Birthday!!Silk Lined The sun is flickering on the floor of the kitchen, tossed about by lace it catches at me as I cross it. To decorate this aging is no longer possible, but the wind knows, just singing changes the listener. The mourning dove is calling now, her dulcimer love song sachets across the telephone lines. I know if I catch it all and somehow roll it round enough to throw, this feeling will come back and wrap me with its wings. Then, perhaps I will be able to explain why this time of day makes me feel silk lined. |

This is beautiful, as is the birthday girl. Seems like our thoughts are in the same place. I follow your lead Martie, with a poem for our dear JM. Love to both of you Liz |

She digs reposts... which become reposts because she DID line them with her moth-silk touch...  |

Not one of the girls but enjoyed it as much. Very touching, perfect imagery as always. A precious gift for a friend on her birthday, and to all of us that didn't get to appreciate it the first time around. Kevin |

To decorate this aging is no longer possible, but the wind knows, just singing changes the listener. I beg to differ..... The singing, yes that's very true...but you know my opinion of even the need for decoration, let alone the act... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
