Nib Talk

Just the scratching of nib
against the grain of some off-white paper
uncharacteristically
left the following…

Sometimes I believe it pains her
to know that I, at this period,

[even and after long gone,]

have been cloaked so long
from and against the real,
that she refuses to allow any of hers
to visit me, whole.

I sense it, in her tone of mark,
mark twain,
and I imagine that in her day-dreams
she continues to look
for just the right shade

of rose-colored glasses.

Kari dear one just dropped in to read and simply had to respond to this beauty really excellent writing
I'm feeling a bit better today so I'm trying to catch up with my reading, I feel so bad about not being able to leave long loving messages but unfortunately the illness continues and I simply cannot. Hopefully those that love me will forgive me for not leaving long messages, and those that don't won't miss them.
Love and warm stuff
as always

Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

I happen to own a favorite pair of, well, in your case, I can call them SUNglasses.

They are round.

They have red lenses.

And they make the whole world look different.

There.

You know my secret now.

I used to have a pair of rose colored glasses, but I turned them in because I found I didn't always like the view from inside of those glasses....seems they seemed to distort things just a bit to much for my liking...

Loved this MommaK.

When I was younger, I refused to wear sunglasses...because I felt they took away from the real beauty around me...So, I squinted my way through life at that time...now I have to wear them because my eyes are so sensitive to light.
