Um...just sharing.....
This just came to my mind this morning. Hope no one minds my posting it.
The Gardener There he is on his knees long-fingered hands again in the soil. Sweat makes greying curls stick to his brow but for him, this is not toil. Daisies, primroses, many flowers surround him for him, to represent his little girls most are grown now, and have left home-- to seek their place in the world. The sun is setting and the gardener stands breathing the scented air still keen, yet sad eyes look toward the sea and a tear falls at the thought of the friend who left him there. The friend announced he would be leaving and then the gardener cried, "Please, master, take me with you! I must be by your side! " "No," his dear friend answered, smiling; "I know you're tried and true but this journey I must make alone it is not yet time for you. " As the sun disappears from the garden the gardener picks up his tools. Tears spill from his eyes and fall to the ground in pools. Yet, there's a smile on the gardener's face for he knows that one day he'll be by his friends' side again and then--neither of them would stray. Copyright 2002 Stacey Uffelman |
Wow! That just "came to your head"? That is really good, quite touching - if you can make stuff like that up on the spot...wow!
Don't suppose you'd like to write verse for my current story...? |

Sorry, Sam got to the computer first. I am glad you all like it, though. The Lord gave me a gift I enjoy, but I don't get to put it out, much. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |
Samwise, that is a truly amazing peice! I love it. Would you mind if I put it to music? It is so lovely that I don't know if my music would be able to do it justice, but I would like to try! Wow! I am still recovering!
|
Music? Whoa...now that would be interesting. Certainly, if you'd like to try. Thank you.

That was wonderful Samwise! Now, which one of you wrote it? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sigh...sometimes I'd like to hit him in the head--though I love him too. (was somewhat perturbed at the guy who called him "stupid" the other day... Primrose: Who said what? [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] Who was he and where's my bow!? Stacey: Geez... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] |

Sam: *sniffle* And who would that be? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] |

As to more, well, I don't know. It's not what I usually write, and, this one sort of popped into my head and wanted out. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Stacy, Sam, Primrose...you have no idea how entertaining it is to see someone else fighting with their other personalities!
Razz: What, you mean I'm not amusing? At all?! Rosa: Well, your face maybe... Razz: *unsheaths claws* Don't make me use these... Tiff: Hey, hey! Break it up, break it up! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Starbreeze- I'd love to read some of your work! I've got some ideas that are starting to work their way into order myself. I'm a huge fantasy reader. I hope your books get published soon-ish so I can go out and buy them! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |
Thanks for all the support all! I will be sure to let you all hear it when I finish it!
Samwise, keep writing and so will I! |

Sam: Yes, I can recall when..... Stacey: Samwise, don't be telling tales out of school. Sam: Well, I thought since we were on the subject... Stacey: *Puts a hand over Sam's mouth and starts dragging him into another room* Excuse me, folks.... |
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Guess living with a gardener isn't as peaceful and idylic as Mr. Tolkien would have us belive, is it? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Stacey: Not this gardener, anyhow....
