Not me, not me, it never is me moving the sand underfoot but who can it be when all else is a dream and I’m asleep on my feet? No doll man made is blessed with a soul but everyone knows that, of course, and puppets can never attach own strings and dance alone down the isles. I could go on a roll, talk of the old, the passing of beautiful times, or stand on a box near a crossroad and speak of the crosses I’ve borne but it’s funny how the little things grow into mountains when I’m asleep and my soapbox roll down the left side appears to me to no longer be the crux of the matter at all. Oh, this sleep; how restless it is and some would say quite disturbed but it’s all a question of personal choice and that’s a funny thing too because it never is me, not me, not me, pulling my own puppet strings. There could be a point I am trying to make like there could be a reason for being and there also could be a feather in air dropped from a moving “something” that never is seen to be the source of what, after all, is only a feather. But I won’t get on my soapbox tonight or speak of my roll down the side for little is known of crosses and rolls when I’m only taught to read books and not how to die, get up again, and turn energy into good health. I think I am lost – that’s it, that’s it, now isn’t that a good thought and a relief for those who could think it’s because of the coffee I drink? Make sense? ![]() |

Helen "There could be a point I am trying to make like there could be a reason for being and there also could be a feather in air dropped from a moving “something” that never is seen to be the source of what, after all, is only a feather." You always make sense to me....and sometimes I just nod my head and say, yeah, that is just how I feel. "only a feather" ...I think you know how very special a feather can be. You are special too! thinking of you with a hug! ![]() |

Thank you dear Martie. I guess I'd look a bit silly with a feather in my hair so I've hidden it. In my world I'm the only one who knows it is there. You take care lovely lady. |
