I sleep the sleep of summer breezes
I sail the sail of mizzenmast
I sing the songs of morning songbirds
I walk the talk of ages past

I hoe the row of least resistance
I need not be on center stage
I talk the walk of those who follow
The humble mots of ancient sage.

Spirit of Gentleness ~

I appreciate your kind comments! I missed you as well! I have so many irons in so many fires right now, that I can barely keep track of them all! ~ I certainly am alive and kicking! Today, I've been taking a much-deserved break from it all!

Loves 'n hugs,

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

Susan ~

I named my first-born daughter "Shannon" which means "Little Wise One". I liked the name and later learned what it meant! Believe you me, the name could not have been given to anyone more deserving of it! lol

Have a pleasant evening!

You are such a pet! You truly are! I love your exuberance and generosity of spirit!

I wish Texas and Ontario weren't so far apart! With all the bubbles in our personalities, we'd fly up into the ethers if we were to get together in person. Up, up and away!

Sending lots of love and affection,
Linda

I am in to numerology and the more letters that are common in the names of people, the more compatible they generally are. Well, all of the letters in the pseudonym that you chose, are in Linda! All the letters in my boyfriend's name are in my name as well! ~ and most of the letters of all my closest girlfriends! It doesn't always work this way ~ but absolutely most of the time it does! There are some letters in the names of people I know that I really don't gel with and I have the most lessons to learn in my dealings with them. It really is amazing how this works.

May your world be full of beauty, joy and love.

Good to read your beautiful verse again Earth Angel. Your talent is self-defined. I think we shared missives together on another site. You have always been Earth's Angel while I was Sir Lucid Wind. Looking forward to reading you often.

Hi, there! Welcome to Passions! I do not recall a Sir Lucid Wind so it must be another Earth Angel that you must be thinking of. ~ But I do appreciate your appreciation of my poem! Thank you!
