A Final Note

Dear Universal Source,

                         I love you still, of course
                         You've driven me hard
                          handed me the joker card
                          often, and still words pour
                          ( though I'm at your door)
                          from your heart's fount - Chalice Well 
                          I write them down to tell,
                          as I am bidden
                          what lies no longer hidden.
                          Quite soon, I'll be with you
                           a thought from the blue!
                          Maybe I will be the tool,
                          dropping words on a fool.
                          I wish them good luck,
                          Mayhap they can get to duck!!

                                Love always,
                                   Your writing fool.

Gregory Richard Barden Date: 8/21/2018 10:40:00 PM Oh, I loved this, Virginia - it made me smile, at a moment when a smile was what I desperately needed!

FJ Thomas Date: 7/21/2018 5:07:00 PM Like how you came at the concept Virginia. Honestly I'm still coming up with nothing lol. Login to Reply FJ Thomas Date: 7/22/2018 7:06:00 AM These days it doesn't seem that anybody is 'too young' anymore. I still have some time ahead of me, hopefully; my daughters are only in their 20s but my life has had a few moments of final thoughts. But we're still here so I am thankful :) Virginia Waters Date: 7/21/2018 11:31:00 PM Took me a while too. Decided to go with a light approach; as too intimidating writing for the bard! Can't compete there so tried something different. You're probably too young to be thinking final thoughts !! Just disengage and sleep on it.
