Still, She Is Spring Shadows play along the ridge where clouds of mustard flowers hover yellow as liquid sun between the cool viridian of new leaves and a sky too near to touch. “You have an old spirit,” the sunlight whispers silently, “…you wear it well.” “I too am old, old as feathers blowing, young as the shadowed moonlight. Wings would be needless decorations as I dance life to the very stones, turn this simple path into a place of stars.” “Stay with me here,” she breathes, “We won’t know night has come until the dawn springs radiant over the eastern hills.” Yet in the night, these flowers wait silent, each one wishing on a star for resurrection. |

Oh Ed...how very beautiful, and with such an etherial feel...like moonlight on a hill still warm. Loved it! |

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

“I too am old, old as feathers blowing, young as the shadowed moonlight. Wings would be needless decorations as I dance life to the very stones, turn this simple path into a place of stars.” Hi Ed...good morning...I cannot find the words to express the talent, feelings, devotion, and love within PIP. This morning is no exception...the utter and sheer perfection sings out to the world, the faith and hope you possess...happiness is yours...to be candid, this mornings reads couldn't have been more balanced and better then any church service I have attended in my entire life... You Rock, my friend! |

“You have an old spirit,” the sunlight whispers silently, “…you wear it well.” ~*~ Gads, I love that line... |

...Wings would be needless decorations as I dance life to the very stones, turn this simple path into a place of stars.” “Stay with me here,” ~*~ Do, stay, but breathe long enough to write of Spring, again. |
