“IN THE FOREST” by Bill Charles ~~~~ I walked in a forest once, surrounded by giant trees… Mighty in their being, knew no boundaries… Serenity I felt inside, peaceful it was then… Felt like I wanted to stay, lay me down in the glen… I waited for you there, many hours did pass… You said you’d come to me, hurry, my heart is of glass… ~~~~ |

*sigh* Oh gosh...I saw this vision and felt it too.......In the forest...the mystical forest where fairies make the magic drink of love...*sigh* I am sure she will come to drink from the glass of your love....This is beautiful, Bill. **big hugs** ![]() Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Bill darling boy I suppose you think that I’m going to praise you to the skies? Hmmm? …….. Well, of course I am, this is utterly utterly wonderful as YOU very well know. How did you do this how many layers of meaning are there? I suspect so many that I could keep revealing more at each new reading. I shall be reading this a lot, into my library with you. This is really fabulous writing sometimes when you don’t expect it you see true beauty this is it. Beauty has a name and it's creater is Bill Absolutely first class writing ![]() ![]() ![]() Love and warm stuff As always Mushy ![]() ![]() To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |
