For most of the year
You pursue
The mysterious bonds
that pen us together
Till a September day
links for a time
Sesquicentennial
Till December
I leap year ahead
I learned from you
still believe
That words matter
Friends can be true
linked heart and mind
Far away
from eye
or touch

No truer prhase...nor more impacting than this: The mysterious bonds
that pen us together"
Some bonds, some binding, some friends are strung together liek liens of poetry. Wanda is always part of a poem in my ehad. Ty so much for reminding me. -
Thank you for your thoughtfulness, my Friend, for penning this lovely piece for me. Of course, words do matter...especially the intentions behind them. Good luck in Carol's contest, Scribe. I can't quite believe I'll be 50 in just a few hours' time...I've been on my own since I was 15, so it's an accomplishment, hard won. I'm thoroughly impressed, even if no one else is.

Good sentiments, unsentimentally spoken here. Wanda reaches far with her words.

She and I have collaborated. I like your new avatar, is that a maori tatoo? YOurs? A stylized nautilique spiral...
