the blacksmith forges
on the anvil
metal striking hot
with the hammer
producing sparks to
create & transform
as so does my spirit
transform my soul
when my muse eases
my gift to create
& the wordsmith
garners words once more

It has felt like that a bit lately. I have no energy to write between work and house projects as the house needs to be sold as soon as possible. Hope you are well. Thanks for stopping by.

We may indeed need to use force sometimes that create sparks on the anvil of life.. But our strength is needed as we forge and sculpt our lives path… So that when finished we can sit back and see the beauty we created…
We each of us at times send and receive those sparks,, But they always transform helping us understand all things are worth a little effort as we mould our lives into shape…
Love to you
