I feel almost biblical saying this, but the seed cannot grow until it lands in just the right place with water, soil and sunlight. And there is something else - that you poem enunciates so clearly - the time must be ripe for the germination. Interestingly, as one also born in 1945, I had no such dream, ever and came upon writing almost by accident eighteen months ago. An honest and humble account of a poet's journey. And we're all glad you finally made it. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Sometimes the coincidence of events that seem related show the tendency and capacity for self-repair and auto-regulation. Kind regards Aine

We always seem to think everyone writes better or can relate to others better then ourselves, , , , , , , , just like everyone that reads this thinks you are 'the better writer'LOL

Sometimes we are our own worst critics. And sometimes, it's just not the right time. I find that my personal life often dictates what I write, and either it's not worth the writing, or it's great! Sometimes we need to take the time to mellow and breathe like a fine wine. I, for one, am so glad you picked up that pen again - you are a joy to read, David, and you have so much to say worth reading! Hugs, Linda :) xxx
