Without a Trace

How I need to vegetate Not to care ‘bout being late Nor about painting my face So I won’t be a disgrace How I need to quiet lie And let others bustle by I must slow the hands of time Clean away the filthy grime Oh, how much I need to….BE And to get in touch with ME Not that person in control But the one who has a soul How I need to just be still ‘Fore I lie beneath some hill I need to slow down the pace And to hide without a trace.

I hope you are being refreshed Eileen. In the mean time I will mine for diamonds among your older writes.

Tim, visiting my older works shows something important to me. Thanks for taking the time to do that. I remember way back when...you once posted that you'd catch up on my older works while on the train to work. ;) It's taken a while to fulfill that promise. Thanks for showing up. Hugs
