Why I Tilled My Thoughts

I tilled my thoughts-- near a sparkly stream, where a rainbow bridge linking the past, the present, and the future of an exquisite aroma of my morn sighs, ‘til it dawned upon a pink butterfly, like the great orb. Ahh, countless times I tilled my thoughts, while li’l robin chirping in the young evergreen, which out-shadowed grandpa’s oak tree, where crimson love was once etched on it. I did the etching. And, the mystic spring sipped the blood that oozed from her scented body, waking up the wild tares eagerly casting their sleek shadows to attract warblers, to play with them. Hmm, the thoughts, cultivated near a sparkly stream, like blooms written in a poem-- can connect not only poets.

Ernesto, when I get in a mood where nothing seems to come to gether I get in Billy's pickup and go for a drive. I guess this is my stream and old oak, but it works. Now I have the mountains and clouds to view while I do my searching. I am really in the right place for me at this time in my life. I feel only a step from heaven as I gaze up on the Masters fantastic art work. God Bless, Cile. Love you work keep a going.

Ernesto you have a very picturesque scene. I could hear the violin in the background as your thoughts gathered by the stream. Beautiful, God Bless, Cile
