My Skin My skin has grown to down right stark The slightest burse now leaves a mark For now my feelings cannot hide They smote right through my walls of pride How careful can a person be? To keep the burse away from me There was a time within my prime But now that prime has passed that time The fields are full of greenery But now grow more to fantasy Sleep and dreams are more a fact More a kindness I react Participation comes in spurts Reminding me to stay alert Those with kindness in their heart That would I stay and take a part But I am well along my path And smell the waters of my bath |

Morning hugs, Mr. T.! "But I am well along my path And smell the waters of my bath" ~ Literally speaking, might I suggest you add some jasmine to those bath waters! lol Please forgive me, Sir Sonneteer, for my silliness is just a mask for the sadness that I am feeling from all the tragedies that abound...

OhDearestSeymour~ Your response - "Not sure I'd like another go round?" ... caused me to recall this write of mine~ Put This Hearse - In Reverse ~*Marge Tindal*~ Somber moments last recalled, slow processions at best. Once around the block, then I'm laid to rest. Driver, turn around this hearse ! Put the damned thing in reverse ! Drive back through the life of me, for there are places I need to see. Tour me through the streets of my life, past moments of sorrow, on the corner of strife. Let me know that I shone a light into another's life that night. Pull over to the curb of friendship, for I am thirsty for another sip, found upon the gentle lips of remembered love. A double drive through joy, shared with another soul. Youthful treasure standing on the corner of rock and roll. Put this hearse in reverse ! I've further back I must go ! Take me on a circle through my wishes and dreams. Did they really come as true as it seems ? Take me down the avenue to the arms of my dear mother. Back where I began, a child - a child - a child again. Now, if you insist, we can proceed to the appointed rendezvous, where surely she awaits to rock me gently in her arms beyond eternity's gates. Place one simple flower on this space of grave remembering, for to this final resting place, what we were is all we bring. Remind the others, driver, lest we all forget. Live and love the best you can. One trip through life is all we get. So, my dear friend, with that in mind ... once more 'round the block? *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |
