Love Alan

Dolly... "us" makes too much muss and fuss... so I turn it inside out to find 'we' and then reduce it still further to "I"...
eye saw it earlier but thought of you quite apt to discover it for yourself; occasionally, silence finds its mark much more gently than my mouth, reason'd I

I pondered what you'd said, thought to counter, decided I would write another tet so you'd know I was at least pondering found I agree that silence sometimes gold

I see gold!
Gold comes in all shapes and sizes. Within us all, there is a light more powerful than the most magnificent bar of gold; Do you see it's treasures glow inside, love?
LOL! I wish to see GOLD here in Vegas, maybe today? :wink: Miss all!

Dear Lori ... I hope you do see "ka-ching gold" in Vegas, but you ALWAYS have gold with you wherever you go; to access, simply lift pen and write ... :sun: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whirling Worlds
Love's what makes worlds go 'round so songsters say. Don't know about others, only my world; my world ceases to function without love so true for me maybe all feel same way?

Pen Mightier Than Sword
tongue meets ear in language clear to hear, but words meet heart in yet another way when, with pen, they come to rest on paper; suppositions of the past are gone, stilled

Stilled crickets; the night sleeps too quietly as she tosses and turns, tosses and turns, and he listens to the moon's heart beat. Thump.

I LOVE your tetractys, Jessica!
Mine will pale in the warm glow of yours, but I will attempt one anyway.
Blessings, Dolly

Thump thump, thump beat my heart as he drew near; teachers often annoyed or frightened me. School is tough for the ADHD child; irritating, difficult, boring, waste

Waste not one ounce of time on trivial matters, that in the end, are meaningless!

I am spent from posting meaninglessness. I think it's time I simply stowed my pen.

Pen a thought, or many, on thick parchment of your choosing. Express that inner 'self' we know is beaming just beneath tall stacks of blank pages awaiting your vast touch.

fresh
writing
exercise
whets your whistle
to stimulate your breaking out in song;
sing then with freedom and joy from your heart
while whispering
to eager
open
ears

words
written,
unlike speech,
have some pronounced
colloquial differences exposed
when someone is counting syllables in
different forms
and therefore
don’t quite
fit
Line 6 has "some" added to "one" to attain the correct syllable count. Thanks Daniel! dif-fer-ent-ly
