The ocean began

as one raindrop said “Yes, fall..."

and became the sea.

Yes !!!

This is brilliant and beautiful, glad I decided to pop back in before I headed to bed for the night !!

I loved it - so simple, yet so full of truth and emotion.

Thank you for sharing

Ed

So many things start in just this simple way...yet we don't think about it until someone insightful writes a poem about it and then we just say, wow!  Yes!

I can't imagine what life would be like without the ocean...thank goodness for it, and for you....

beginnings have a way of boiling over to something new and new again....

Hugs for this one

To coax a raindrop... into something so lovely, but with such simplicity.  Ah, Sweet Write!

This... is exquisite. *S*

And it's going into my library... *S* I know that studying your work won't make me less wordy... but the study is pure pleasure. *S*

Haiku, the way it is supposed to be, complete down to the voice of nature.

Nicely done

never try to teach a pig to sing
it wastes your time AND annoys the pig

Ratleader,
   Have I told you I just love how your mind works?  Well, I do!  Love how you make profound the simplest of things.

when my love spoke the first lie.

I can not tell you how much I appreciate this, and how powerful it really is....

I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situtaion-made from clay to stone
