I trace with my finger,
the dust that settled with time,
over these old pages of mine,
as I remember,
my once favourite book,
with fond memories,
of childhood,
as I reminiscence,
with this dust of childhood.
Dust of Childhood

Yes!! 🙂 I know that feeling! 🙂 But I don’t feel very far away from little Line at all, in fact I feel like I am still her, it’s just that since I have a grown-up look people take me more seriously now and listen to me 🙂

You know what, I completely feel the same way:D and I like we share that connection 🙂 I think it is a good place for our hearts to be with all those books and imagination of our childhood 🙂

Really….really like this one Neha!! 🙂
(and I apologize for the somewhat “dark” response to your “summer” collaboration. I get why you questioned it…it’s just what came out of me the moment I saw your photo 🙂

Hi Lorrie, Thank you so much! and yes that’s OK, as I thought about it I could see your muse coming from the photograph it was beautiful even though it was on the dark side 🙂 I think everything came together really well with your piece and it continues to do so …so thank you for sharing it with us 🙂

Thanks Neha!! I was involved with something “life” and wanted to get back to you about it sooner. I love that you run these collaborations…it is so much fun…and that is how it works with me…I look at your photo and then just start writing. Thanks again!! Lorrie

Your poems paint more than just vivid images in my mind… I feel like I’m you, experiencing exactly what it was you were experiencing when you wrote (or were inspired to write) the words. Very beautiful and powerful work 🙂
