The sifting of floury thoughts gathered.

Protracted thoughts

search the mind

like beams of light

illuminating the dancing dust

swirling through the subtle

ever changing moments

reflected in the gathering

of time's memories spent.

This is such a visual piece Andrew and your title is so original. Thoroughly enjoyed.

dear Andrew... I miss sifting the flour for
making pies... it was to refine the art of
pastry. We do need to sift our thoughts
to define the art of life. The gathering of berries
ahead of time is essential, if we want the
sugar to enhance the experience of flavors
delicately blended. Grandma's baking left nothing to be desired.
Living life is a cup of desire with a dash of sweetness and
a pinch or two of wisdom. truly, Pat

Thank you pat for a lovely review.

You are welcome... we are having very hot weather in Virginia... we planted blueberry bushes and grape vines as well as two dwarf cherry trees... so I will be able to continue with the "art of life" in our golden years... sifting flour and adding pinches of love and devotion... quite a potion... guess your poem inspired my sensibilities. Thank you, Pat
