memories together, a bounty
held in cellars of the heart.
A dash added, subtly
creating delicacies
shared with
sentiment.
The spice of life, brining
years of experience.
Flavoring the soul,
savored days
blended by
moments
of time.

Salt and life as one. Nicely done.
Wow..'blended by time'neat.
Reflections,
This whole piece flows with a comforting rhythm, and I'm particularly fond of:
" bounty
held in cellars of the heart."

This is really lovely, and a great softness about it.
I agree with 120 Socks. Soft and lovely.
"Brining years of experience..." I like that a lot.
Very metaphoric! Like Sandie and Lucky on your sidebar. -- barbara
"brining years of experience..." nice.
'Brining years of experience' ... what a brilliant line! Your poem really resonates with me.
the spice of life, flavoring the soul...wise words..
'salted time' a lovely phrase, I enjoyed your Magpie.
nice...i like a bit of that spice as long as i am not consumed by it and lose my own flavor...
Love the image you created! Salt of time....
beautiful...I especially love the 1st stanza...
Salted Time... flavoring the soul allows one to write such intricate and lovely poetry. Lovely poem with such soft twists and turns of insight.

Solid work.
Nice reflection on a salty topic. ;-) I really liked "subtly / creating delicacies"
I don't like "spice of life" because it's so cliche, but I appreciate the thought of it.
a lovely piece, gentle and meditative.
Very reflective! I love it. Having a hard time with this Magpie myself.
Dear Petrina

Oh yes.. I've tasted this one in small bites...
And when seasoned well, it's simply deliciously!!
