If once the time were nigh, would thee shed a tear,
a tear of solitude, a tear of caring...smothering not the
flame which burns within the embers of thy heart?

For....in my dreams gentleness smothers not, and
wisdom washes the soul of a man...as each night
burns into a new day and each day brings hope to
love’s budding flowers....again...

Is but the river’s wind that brings the leaf once fell
as snows the eyes now blinds and waters drip the well.
A well once kept by air dry as the desert’s skin
in wait the feather’s flair before the float does end.

And as the waters rage toward the sea of brine
a love shall once engage as lips then sip life’s wine.

~ It is almost a shame for me to separate the above lines from the body of your remarkable piece of writing, but I found them especially inspirational and lovely.

It was a treat to be reading your poetry again, my SC friend!

You've quietly engaged
the circumference of the world's poets
in this simple,
yet profound
write.

Well, profound to me,
as I circled the globe...
