I THINK THAT I SHALL TURN AGAIN



I think that I shall turn again to the border of my line -            between the pressing and the passing            of so much precious time.Time which people wastethat I still hold as mine I think that I shall turn again            to the safest Inner Land            to the drift and silent shiftingthat won’t change the Eternal plan. I think that I shall turn again            to the ebbing and the flow            to the rippling in and edging outof the quiet waters of my soul I think  that I shall turn again            to sing another song            where old regrets can be erased and someday all be gone.

I THINK THAT I SHALL TURN AGAIN

Hello Jayne Thank you so much for your positive comments! I penned this last night at about 1am and it just "came out" in a state of quiet calmness that has long alluded me- as is reflected in my other work. Before submission today I re-considered, thinking it was somewhat trite, so you have an idea how much your assessment means! Thank you! thank you! Bonita j
