There's rosemary, that's for remembrance; pray, love, remember: and there is pansies. That's for thoughts. ~Shakespeare what then my dear ophelia is for madness what sweet petaled thing eases the feeling of reaching through clouds to feel the earth firm in a soft hand what smell hastens the taste of black and white what herb makes easier the struggle when words will not say themselves give up their meaning yet cry for understanding laugh in useless meter what then my dear ophelia shall we say of adoration where shall we look for roots to heal it for it brings on such sweet madness |

Kate, this is just the right way to end my day. The only thing better will be to start off the next by drifting though its phrasing yet again. Sandra |

...and there is thyme... to read poetry such as this. Well done, Kate. I enjoy taking from the classics or quotations, such as you have...and draw forth something new, and fresh.  |

:: Takes a deep breath and words spew out :: I am in love with how you write. You just take me on this emotional and visual journey with you. It's like story time before bed. You wrap me in words and fuel my imagination. Your word voice soothes my soul. |
