Note- Having been ill these last couple weeks , both my reading, commenting and writing has has suffered a vacancy of will to live as I normally do.
I decided to write this morn to try to reverse that spell of the blues.
And reaching within, this flowed out as smoothly as silk...
even hit the hundred word mark with no edits made...

Where My Heart Decided To Rest Where my heart, decided to rest such was happiness, not a test paradise, not a lonely place exquisite beauty of your face. Where this soul, started to find love was not this sad world's push and shove within Heaven's glistening lights was found peace and calm of our nights. Where this spirit, steps up to dance can only be in your romance within sweetness of your soft kiss I pray, never your touch, to miss. Where our all, gave unified joy was true love of a girl and boy embracing of life and its gifts each tender moment that uplifts. Robert J.

Thank you my dear friend. I am doing much better as of late. I heard dawn's waking melody and saw morn's wind dance about the trees.
