A THIN THREAD OF SUNLIGHT

WITH NOMORE THAN A WHISPER
A SMALL STRING WAS UNTIED
LEAVING ITS VICTEM STARRING ABSENTLY
UNDECIDED
TREMBLING AT FREEDOM
CLINGING MOMENTARILY TO A FLOWER
ASKING UNASHAMED FOR A WAY TO GO
THE FLOWER SADLY REPLIED, "I DO NOT KNOW"
THE EASIEST WAY TO TRAVEL THEN WAS WITH THE WIND ALWAYS AT ITS BACK....YET THIS SILENT CREATURE WAS DRAWN FORWARD
AND TUGGED ALONG BY A THIN THREAD OF SUNLIGHT
STOPPING BRIEFLY DURRING THE NIGHT
TO CURL AROUND A WARM HEART
TO SLEEP.



LEONARD COHEN'S MUSIC HOW SHALL I SAY SHOCKED THIS MONKEY AND HAS REALLY INSPIRED ME TO WRITE AGAIN. THAT POEM CAME OUT OF A BOX OF THINGS I WROTE....OMG...35 YEARS AGO!


LOVE THIS SITE!!

SWITZ, I like this. There is much implied in these few lines. Please post some more of what you are writing now.

"May the road rise with you, and the wind be at your back........" -Ralph McTell.

Cheers, Witty.
