 No one is given a gift from tomorrow ~ The exception being those From yesterday Everything that ages well has its own history Its own realizations that all things must be... Must face adversity, in order to give life Honor to those that love you Standing still, hands out, reliving gifts of grace… A corsage, buttonholing moments of celebration Like courage to face forward Glove of white, still warm from a hand that touched One’s face that felt air pockets of fragrance beheld Within sensitivity for all time… Pearls, holding within themselves great nuisance For growth, in irritant of moments, Still, we grow white with light In time’s evolution… And books. Sage, waged words weighted wondrously, Skipping generations to eyes that will do more Than read with heart, for the giver knew they Would listen with soul… These, from yesterdays’ gifts, Their history is not lost, Neither forsaken in one’s own time, For all may age, wither, fade, shatter, die, But what is left behind, for those that would touch Yesterday, and its gifts…this, An overwhelming reminder of what we Have, and what is to be held, to look forward to, living for the tomorrows from yesterday’s gifts. ~*~ For those that do not love Without giving it back tenfold. Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises... |

Karilea I don't really know how to reply. Will a hug be enough?  ...and also one of these...  |

wonderful write....and the picture...fabulous...reminded me of when I travel, love nothing more then finding those out of the way used book stores, where sometimes on the back shelves, in a room hidden away from the store, one can find some very lovely old books... Would love to see your books in real life, to browse them and touch their old covers... I so loved this...thank you for sharing. |
