Loud and clear the Spring bell rings to overlay the past with a season of remembering that nothing’s made to last when unfocused is the mind on the reality of heart. Strange and cruel the movement that disrupts heart’s precious pose and rubs its face into the dirt like an old and faded rose sent to lie neglected before life has foreclosed. And meant it is on settled ground that rose and sand should interweave but, oh, how harsh the wind that blows when earth bereft of empathy has grown a lonely rose ~ and the rose lifts up and goes, you see to leave the sand in aimless drift from then into eternity. I’m here, I’m there, compacting sand and this when in protective mode but the rose and I leave with the wind when shifting sand won’t hold the pose! Helen / 4 September 2006 |

"and the rose lifts up and goes, you see to leave the sand in aimless drift from then into eternity." All things shift with the passing sands of time ~ but they are never truly lost.  Helen, this is another one of my favourites of your poems! Loving hug, Linda |

Helen The touch to the sand of the wind...it changes the pattern, but leaves a place for new footprints. The change you see feels so sad, yet if your heart remains filled with love and light, change can be joyful.  Sorry, didn't mean to be preachy..your poem made me think, as yours always do. |

Thank you all so much for your kind comments. I'm wondering what we'll all do when the day of knowing comes and we won't have to think anymore. Any ideas? Jo - how lovely to see you here again! |
