You The Poet, I The Pen If you were but a poet And I were but your pen Enjoined in weaving tapestries Please tell me, now, what then Could we write our destiny The poet and the pen Embellish all our fantasies Find love time and again Would we sail the seven seas To find the pirates lair Or ride upon the noblest steeds Pluck stars out of the air Could we fathom ocean’s depths Explore the coral reefs Climb Tibetan mountain peaks Hold firm in our beliefs Or simply with the sands of time Would all my ink run dry Would you release me from your hands Put down your head and sigh Would we close our chapter Would all our dreams be lost Would all the pages then go blank As white as winter’s frost Would we simply be no more The poet or the pen Would your muse then lose her voice To never sing again But if we wrote our ending Seems despite the best laid schemes We’d somehow find each other If only in our dreams |

Or simply with the sands of time Would all my ink run dry Would you release me from your hands Put down your head and sigh Would we close our chapter Would all our dreams be lost Would all the pages then go blank As white as winter’s frost ~*~ I'm sending via express, some mail a vast box that holds the key For a wealth of ink to fill your pen, So you may write your poetry... Your well will never run dry... and I will be ever appreciative! |

Ruthie m'friend, you hide for so long then out of the woodwork sneaks this type of a gem. Through reading this that picture I have of you on the ferry comes to mind, so pensive. Miss you and sending lots of wonderful thoughts your way. |

Simply lovely, the flow is devine. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |
