I am

I am old.
Made of dust
and dirt. Soil.

I have sea water
in my tears. In my ears.
If I have been
before.

Will I be again?
Thus come
thus go, but
from where
and when?

Maybe I should stick to poetry and skip the artist stuff. (tongue in cheek). Not complaining so don't get me wrong.

Will trudge on, been kinda a dry spell lately. I really need to write when I have flights of fancy that are, or rather, the rapid stream of consciousness. I'm always writing down tid bits. Got a lot of poems started and unfinished.

lillypaddle I do appreciate your comment. I'm do not always give enough credit to other's posts. That is my failing, not an excuse but an explanation of some chaos in my personal life that distracts me to the point of too much stuff that seems to be outside of my control.
