A COUPLET (2)

Michael Edwards

As withered leaves that fall from trees

So man, when life’s breath fails, will die.

    But not yet Michael, not yet.
    Good couplet.

    A true and spiritual write there M.
    Now you've started me singing:
    'We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree / And wither and perish, but nought changeth Thee'.
    (From hymn: 'Immortal, invisble, God only wise').
    A hymn I hum or sing near river-banks. Go sing it there Orchi, so we won't hear ya! lol.

    • Michael Edwards

      Is a river bank where you launder money?
      Has the river frozen over?
      My screen hasn't frozen over yet today!
      Is it your singing?

      • orchidee

        Yes, strange place to have banks.
        Me singing will oil the wheels of this site - or make it go rusty!

              All too true, and i hope your eloquent self will provide a fitting epitaph.

              • Michael Edwards

                I'll work on my epitaph dusk - watch this space.

                It's sad when you really think about death. To never see your loved ones again. Thanks Michael glad you are my friend.

                • Michael Edwards

                  Always Kat - I hope we never lose touch.

                  • Heartwriter

                    If you get the time go to my last post. There you will see how far Fern Valley has came. Gonna post the inside tomorrow. It's been a struggle for me Michael. Thanks
