I pick up my pace




I pick up my pace
walking miles in solitude
gathering rocks for a wall
built in the backyard of my heart

as love turns a corner
leaving faded coulors behind
in a picture dull and bleak

from birds unknown
a song is heard
sad and out of tune

so I gather the black diamonds
found in caves of sorrow
and wear them round my neck
gleaming like stars in a winters night

like love found and lost

WOOOOOOW . . . Kath . . .

This poem is wonderful, and it is

just as you write . . .

. . .like love found and lost . . .

a black pearl . . .

that never stop to shimmer

But it hurts!

All the best, Dan
