63/F/Athens Tn I have written short poems all my life. Mostly in my mind. Others I've kept. I love art in any form. I run a small cottage business from my home, but am retired. It is such a pleasure to be here in this lovely community of like minds.
God's hand sprinkles this dust That ever so gleams, glitters, glistens Mind dust, stardust, what is it? A gift from the Master To teach us  great beauty of thought The loveliness of the mind. Not tangible unless put into action of course We retrieve the joy of those mindful thoughts The brightest ones that dance and play. What can my Master do today with them I pray Where will He take them, how will He use them My thoughts and me I am but clay at the potters wheel Using my mind He will create daily a new vessel Placing a new and right spirit, a thought within me. Love, joy, happiness and peace are the way Think on these things he doth say. Whatever is true, lovely and pure that I may With great pride not delay Praising my Saviour everday For stardust, sparkling, ever so lovely mind dust Has come to stay. The End

Stardust Of The Mind
There he was With his black velvet heart Smooth to touch, to feel, to love Drawing me into that luxuriousness of this man Something so soft, but so dark, so dark. So I continued to be drawn by the softness, the richness The dark eyes, dark hair, oh the lair Once captured there was no escape My heart forever was bound by his sultry all No escape for whom we fall. I shall never leave my cell Of love that is lost and at great cost Was my love was for him. In my dreams he does come But only with pain To hurt me, break me over again Oh the love that was lost at such a great cost. I lost my heart to him and to him alone My sweet innocent heart placed at his throne Till death do us part was so very wrong It simply did not last that long But for him my mind does still roam. To love again I will never impart Because of his black velvet heart. The End

Black Velvet Heart
Through the darkness of this illness I lay Praying for light and joy to come my way Realizing in sickness there must be more What may I learn from this bleak score Alas I've realized I can adore The solitude and quiet bliss I have in store From lifes busyness and exhausting door I come through to a quiet shore Using my mind I can explore A plethora of ideas that never bore Then happiness and joy are once more restored. The End
