silhouette of contemplation

within another world
a silhouette times
contemplation,
the trees listen
their scrim,
rustle
playing a patchwork
of light over her face

the trees knew
if they
stayed still enough,
quiet long enough,
a secret wrapped
around her mind,

would unravel

their wait
will be eternal
as she sleeps
the seasons turn,

and the roots
of the trees
wind

to bind her

Dear Tim

Thanks for your lovely comment ... hmmm I dont know about talent but I have passion if that counts for anything lol and no not many newcomers would know of my health problems I dont speak of it here anymore not because I dont want people to know ?? but I would rather they judge my writing skills than focus on my illness ... I am a battler hanging in but there is always someone worse off than me .. thanks for your prayers they are appreciated had my last treatment yesterday I now WAIT and then get retested and we will see how the land lies love and hugs JayCee x x Quote:- It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense.---Robert Green Ingersoll
