Not Just Any Words

We all love them, otherwise we wouldn't be here..........

Not Just Any Words

 

Let not these words

Be confined to

Shelves drawers and attics

They are far too grand

For that

And such a fate

Would only serve to

Confound and complicate

Such matters...

 

Nor let them be

Weighted down or bound

By shells bells padlocks chains

Prejudices or muted palates

Such words must be

Held aloft and aired

For they truly do belong

In clouds and cathedrals...

Not just any words, they are your words Neville and let them flow and pour forth at will. I certainly enjoy the varied style you write in. Never know what you are going to get, but it is always thought provoking and makes you think. I'm new here but know that I can expect something from Nevill's talented pen each day. Yeah bring it on Neville.

[Neville]

You are far, far too kind for words Christine... corny, I know but here are a couple anyway ... thank you... Neville

[Chris Shaw]

Nothing like a thank you Neville.

This is exactly how I feel about sharing my words. They're free! Take them to enjoy for the moment. By tomorrow I will have forgotten what I wrote yesterday & my readers will have, too! *smile* It's all good, for whenever the ships may cross upon a wide open sea (((NUGS))) fondly, Margie

[Neville]

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is something emily dickinson might have written, even though she only published 11 poems in her lifetime and those anonymously...the rest were found in an attic...all those poems, all that talent...eventually discovered...and how grand...we can hope one day our words will survive us, and at the same time, matter.

[Neville]

Would't that be something my friend... I sincerely appreciate the time and consideration you have given to these words and for the glowing comments............Best Regards, Neville

Love and treasure Your words before expecting anyone else to do it, exactly like loving ourself so others love You too, how others will love You if You don't love Your own self?

with Your own style and mind You've spoken a truth my friend, Your final lines put me in the feeling of the holy and sacred words, I will tell You too, dear Neville, "bring it on!".
