Printed The words seem little but stains Crooked lines in rows arranged To some meaning or intend Now accusing me Now refusing me The original feeling Captured then So I clean the drive Erasing all that was stored in some Cryptic binary horde of ego After I have transferred all to white Sheets.. And sheets again And I wonder… How would they float on the wind And would if someone paused to pick one up Read the lines Understand? Or would fire be the better end That with flickered heat of flame Consume the very words Erase them into ash No more to begin? It is vanity To assume merit where there is none Or ignorance of truth in denial Yet…. Human we remain And our faults find no cure in understand of why So perhaps it is organic To decompose these words One small worm at a time Eating bits of prose Or edge of rhyme For then at least when all is done The flowers I cut and put in vase contain Some essence of the you Written in each refrain |

Don't you do it!!! You keep every word and someday read and smile. I know that is what I do from time to time with a certain binder. "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

So I clean the drive Erasing all that was stored in some Cryptic binary horde of ego After I have transferred all to white heartfelt my friend, tugs at the heart strings, sending hugs |

Ron "And I wonder… How would they float on the wind And would if someone paused to pick one up Read the lines Understand?" I'll be looking for a floating paper in the air, floating down like a feather...I'd love that and I think I'd understand. |

So perhaps it is organic To decompose these words One small worm at a time Eating bits of prose Or edge of rhyme For then at least when all is done The flowers I cut and put in vase contain Some essence of the you Written in each refrain Sir Ron? thank you for blowing me away. Maree The clouds never expect it when it rains, but the sea, changes colour, but the sea, does not change. |

I learned the hard way to save your work IMMEDIATELY--knowing that you--um, like ME--have impulses to trash it all. (somehow I know that doesn't reassure you) but we can't assume to know the impact our words will have on others-- all I know is that there are days when you have summed things up for me and given me inspiration to just STAND still and be. So don't question it, lovie. Just let it be. paper airplanes, and messages in bottles...might seem like nothing to US, but end up a miracle to others. Hugs you. and yes, miss you. |

Well said. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Cleanin' out the old hard drive are ya? Well, don't throw this away... "It is vanity To assume merit where there is none Or ignorance of truth in denial Yet…. Human we remain And our faults find no cure in understand of why" I just might make it my new "critique messege" LOL (and the river is treating me VERY well..low, slow and green. Nice smallmouth too!) |

... sigh ... There's a place I like to hide-open your mind to me-Visualise your dream- Record it in the present tense, I am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity |
