It's beautiful Bob, thank you. The poem is so delicate.
Hmmmm....browsing the forum list, I saw a new Dragonflies' Lair thread and thought I'd try to come up with something for the first page.
I opened the thread, read Ms. Feather's signature piece, then moved on down to Bob's offering.
If y'all need me, I just filled the bin with lots of paper and I'm going to the store for another ream. I'll be busy for a month trying to come even halfway close to Bob's masterpiece.
IOW, Bob, that is truly beautiful. Well done.
Here I am!!!!! ;^)
Nice place, think I'll hang around and spout off a bit.
Gathered Along the Way
Mist silent soft swirls in soft curtains in the mind
revealing, and concealing, all that we might find
like a magic lantern show of memories sublime
in delicate shades of thought, on the screen of time
A glimpse, and then it’s gone, as if never there
yet it remains with us, stored within with care
moments stored, images of life and strife’s bite
and we sort them out throughout the night
A cornucopia of remembered things, some so clear
and each we keep, for each cost us, oh so very dear
such is the treasures of this passage we endure now
from there to then, in spite of all, we make it, somehow
