Sands of my hourglass drain slowly into the pool of night where whispers bring a ring to an ear and bells toll against the rugged walls of granite spires. Come to me my son, share of your soul that we might stroll the firefly night. Hesitance, the turtle’s slow but meaningful shuffle toward the oceans that swallow each wave before the gull’s swoop. Could this be I, I say to thee? Might my walk be slowed by the fear of that which is unseen? I shiver of the moment as the hourglass drains and the bottom of the glass is seen, half empty. Come to me, my son...for though my hours have passed and your own fill the harvest bowl...I am here, just beyond the hedge row.....waiting to walk just one last mile before I am but a memory, a smile and a tear to eternity. |

Magnus~ 'I shiver of the moment as the hourglass drains and the bottom of the glass is seen, half empty.' Me too ... and I want to give ALL of my sand thoughts away before that moment comes~ I adore your thoughts in this~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I shivered when I read this Barry... poignantly beautiful "Come to me, my son...for though my hours have passed and your own fill the harvest bowl...I am here, just beyond the hedge row....." |

you have reinterated this morning where true loyalty is....the simplistic joys of conversation, communing with another...especially family, friends....this also, despite your intent, spoke a great deal to me of fidelity, substance, credibility, and the important place of being in life.... hugs to ya |
