They'd taken the walls and the door and the funny bent chairs they'd found in the dump. They'd taken her loom - the one her grandmother had given her so she could sell something, anything, on the beach. Gone. All gone. Gone to the crashing tides. She'd lost her husband years gone by. He'd left in one of the low fishing boats and never been seen again. So now she sang on the shore - sang into the winds, sang into the rising moon and sang into the crashing tides.Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771180344305042855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-12507303719022676842010-02-10T18:45:53.721-05:002010-02-10T18:45:53.721-05:00Don't worry!

I get myself writing something new every week! (Talk about positive thinking)<br /><br />Alex- I understand, I really do. I meant to write mine last night and couldn't get it done, so I did it at 5 this morning! Life happens. If I had seen this during the day today, I probably couldn't have fit it in.

And beneath it just a frostbitten swallow frozen in its dive through ominous clouds, fragile like a tender little violet shackled under the snowy shroud after the blizzard. <br />Yes, those were tears in her eyes, the torrent of grief, the mighty current of disappointment, the liquid pieces of her shattered heart, the stream of her crumbled dreams ... A winged creature left flightless, a roaring hurricane left breathless, a vast ocean left tideless...DEZMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127166104359407763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-36695638920743036822010-02-10T16:04:44.723-05:002010-02-10T16:04:44.723-05:00I like your story Chels, you have a lovely vocabul...I like your story Chels, you have a lovely vocabulary and a charming sense of humour in your storytelling ;)DEZMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127166104359407763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-27298639554842979082010-02-10T15:29:18.524-05:002010-02-10T15:29:18.524-05:00I joined in!
