Old Grist Mill

the old grist mill stands nestled in the rocky bank red fall leaves surreal Vibrant blue sky glows stronger Shadowing my dim life's light red stained swift water rushes onward to the sea... slow decaying mill vibrant life vacant emotions rush, rapids flow heart and zest soggy The once spinning wheel silent Red Birds watch an era leave rocks wear smoothly slick as time ticks a new way starts cycling ways and days Sponsor: Shadow Hamilton Contest: New Contest Team Work Sara Kendrick 1, 3, 5 Doris Culverhouse 2, 4, 6 Written September 19, 20, 21 Written from a picture of an Old Grist Mill Themes Red, Water, Grist Mill, Fall

wow, you know what. I like this even better than the other one you had with Jack, though that was a great one too. Jack is allowed to help as many people as he wants, did you know that? I asked Shadow. However, it's so great you could do this with your daughter.

Oh how beautiful your words are here. I can see it all, alas time is our enemy and that is why it is so important for us to take everything in as we can. Now your lovely story is eternal. Good luck in the contest hon. 'Much love, Shar
