TWENTY OR LESS…#219

Copyright 2005 by:  Mark V Sheldon


hardening arteries
and
narrow valves

a senseless closing


how empty


your unraveling

While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again...and again...

Hey Nancy!  Been a while, but had a moment to poke in and catch up...  Thanks, as always, for your   and support.

Kacy...  not sure it's either, but I'm always happy to see your   .

Maureen:  ...an interesting twist...  I do enjoy your "paraphrased reflections"...  (hey:  that would make for an interesting poem, no...?      nudge, nudge...)

Mark,  you and Ericc both have a way with

to pick a winner...for you both are...and
wow, what a message within this one.

Hi Barry -- thank you for your kind words.  The longer poems require more time than I have at the moment, but when they flow through me, I'll be sure to share them again.  Until then, I'm just happy to sneak in a little TOL here and there...

Thank you very much, Linda...  a hug and a smile is 1/2 the incentive for returning to this rejuvinating oasis filled with caring and sensitive individuals.  It's always good to be back, if even for a little while...
