Of This, I AM |

I am here among you, lost in silent and soft remember of passing moments, of traveling times yet to be before my eyes. I am there, standing in the shadow of a great oak, watching the crispness of a sun in morning rise. I am beating within your pulsing chest, as blood mightily courses your every vein. Lost in temperate moments, in unrest...of daily struggles which I must restrain. I am within your feathered pen as ink flows dark upon a fresh clean page. Waiting to speak, to take a snow drift walk...to have a moment's engage. I am where the budding flowers bloom, where daisies and daffodils play. The unseen flowing breeze that touches your room, the shadow lingering, wanting simply to just stay. I am ... yes... I am.. |

Hi Barry! I'm so glad to see you! "I am where the budding flowers bloom, where daisies and daffodils play. The unseen flowing breeze that touches your room, the shadow lingering, wanting simply to just stay. I am ... yes... I am.." A very touching poem, my friend. I hope you are well and that you have a wonderful holiday time with your family. |

Love every part of this one, Barry, but these lines are my favorite: I am within your feathered pen as ink flows dark upon a fresh clean page. Waiting to speak, to take a snow drift walk...to have a moment's engage. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
