The day weighs heavy ~ oh, just so on the shoulders angled down and this because the “knowing of” no succor for the mind locked away in solitude behind a furrowed brow. And I travel hard the distance to the point of freedom’s lair waiting, waiting, somewhere near the paradise of souls where no one plants a lily in a sun burnt desert land … and I flick the shoulders so, just so, in pretence of weightlessness until easy, easy, oh, just so, in a dream about to be I walk as one possessed of perfect harmony. But the beginning is beginning and the droop of many cares soon to mourn a past foray into the days of heavy air weighted so and, oh, just so, to make a fool of me! Helen / 28 June 2006 |

and I flick the shoulders so, just so, in pretence of weightlessness until easy, easy, oh, just so, in a dream about to be I walk as one possessed of perfect harmony. I can very much relate to this. I adore the above quoted lines! Sometimes while walking, I remind myself to walk gracefully, as if I was "light" ... then I straighten up and ... dance (I pretend, that is ...) Oh, just so! Great! Love, Margherita  |

Awesome expression, do know the feeling of it as well... sending a couple of young strapping men to take some of the load off....be careful how you use them. |

"But the beginning is beginning and the droop of many cares soon to mourn a past foray into the days of heavy air weighted so and, oh, just so, to make a fool of me!" Very nice write! The ending! Sweet! JL Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: |

Thank you all so very much for reading and for commenting - and just where are those strapping men???? Lost again???? So typical! I'll also be "lost" for a bit - flying Johannesburg/Atlanta/Seattle TODAY! It's a long, long, way! |

Happy flight, dear Helen! Above the clouds ... lightness will be a natural state of being! Enjoy your trip. Love, Margherita |

Thank you so much, Margherita. Only gone 3 weeks but enough time to leave my footprints and "heartprints" for my son who lives there. Take care! Helen |

amazing right/write...loved this... and I flick the shoulders so, just so, in pretence of weightlessness until easy, easy, oh, just so, in a dream about to be I walk as one possessed of perfect harmony. and what a possession...girl, this was beautiful! |

Thank you, LeeJ. Just switching off now - going to miss my poetry reading especially the "amazing" journeys you take me on!  Helen |
