Catching the Drift

To sit down and write my thoughts ,on vellum recite, until the form becomes right; To look and listen and to see, watch,quiet,and to be a sponge absorbed ,by me; The let these feelings outwards fly, unfettered poetic dreams as white clouds upon a summer sky; To touch another with my thought, whereby this infection is caught and does not on paper ,abort. Then will this idea live on in other hearts,after I've gone. Brian Strand

What a nice expression...unfettered poetic dreams as white clouds upon a summer sky..I think your idea will definitely live on. Don't think of death but think of the life to be lived.
