Page Twenty-Eight

What shall I place
on page twenty-eight?
my loves, my goals, my sorrows?
I'm hoping through grace
my words (though not great)
will still ring true tomorrow

My soul flows again
from my diligent pen
and gathers my thoughts and emotions
setting in place a run-away pace
that clings to my truest devotion

For writing like this - 
it's an absolute bliss
to share with the world my desires
So whatever I place
on page twenty-eight
it's with hope
that I've truly inspired

Don't save your inspiration until 28, the first 27 need love too :) Your thoughts are good though, since we're always looking to make each word, line or page special in their own way. Nice job. Best, Subby

Thank you, Barry. It's funny, I think I started the first few lines of this piece when I was 16! I'm surprised I could still read the print on the rough draft lol!

Here's hoping pages 1-27 are as brilliant as this piece of writing, if so moving to page 29 with be easy. I really enjoyed this one Gayle. I believe that is the hope of most of us who write, that somehow our words help inspire.
