Emily's Eyes

[nllleonard]

THanks a lot, Anne! ;) Oh, I'm a full-time daydreamer! ;) I'm that person gazing out the window with eyes glazed over, or staring out into a crowd without seeing anything....

Often, I start off with words that I like the sound of, and a song just builds around that. Confederate Jasmine Perfume was like that. ANd yes, I am best at night too. If only I didn't have to sleep! ;)

xox P&L to you! ;) ~NAncy

[cbrb40]

That's beautiful! You write some beautiful poetic lyrics Nancy that are inspiring! I love the simplicity of the song which heightens the effect of the words.

You're a wonderful singer songwriter! :))

[nllleonard]

THank you Rick, for your kindness!

I'm very glad you like my song!

~NAncy

[reliablebow]

Sitting in again....:)

[nllleonard]

And I just shared my morning tea with your Emily!  What a comfort and joy she is!

;) ~NAncy

[cadwalladee]

Emily's place is pretty close by me... never been there. This just might give me a nudge! Very nice song, very well done!

[nllleonard]

Yes, you should definitely visit Emily's home! I went there...read one of her poems out loud in her bedroom...it was lovely! If you live close, I am envious. Beautiful part of the country! Thanks so much for your wonderful comment!

~NAncy

[FlipsDream]

Hi Nancy Michael T here. I'm always so curious when someone new posts on my videos, I have to go check them out. Somehow, I've been so blessed that the most fabulous people have found my work. Sitting here listening to your music, I was drawn back to my youth, sitting around a campfire up on the Tennessee Valley Divide on the Appalachian Trail, surrounded by friends and loves and the sweet sounds of their playing and singing. I sure hope we can be friends Thank you for taking me home, Michael T

[nllleonard]

Well, welcome to my campfire, Michael T! ;) Very glad to meet you and happy to be your friend! I truly enjoyed your video that I discovered on my friend Rob's channel! Great work! I will look forward to getting to know you better and checking out your other videos! THanks so much for that wonderful comment! ~NAncy

[jimmymac30]

This is magnificent!! I love it.

[nllleonard]

Hi Jimmy! I sure appreciate that, friend! ;)

~NAncy

[MonkeylessJohn]

Hi again NAncy. I just have to tell you how much I love your poetry.

Thyis one is perhaps my favourite of yours so far!!!!

So many wonderful lines and phrases.

And I always enjoy hearing you sing:)))

[nllleonard]

THank you again, John! ;) That means so much to me! I really appreciate you and your friendship! ~NAncy

[emmylunatic]

Nancy, this one is special. Now that education here in Virginia is focused on our Standards of Learning, just the facts ma'am, I wonder if kids get a sense of the sheer wonder of words and the images they may evoke. Emily was a favorite of several of my teachers - long, long ago - so we didn't rush past her life and work. Lucky to be 60, Michael

[nllleonard]

Thank you so much Michael! Yes, I know what you mean. It's all about math and science and facts and figures now.

I would be lost! I was fortunate to have teachers who helped me learn how to think and not just what to think.

I wouldn't give up a year of my life either, Michael! I have made too many wonderful memories along the way!

I am happy that you had teachers who loved Emily and passed that love along! Thank you very much for your wonderful comment! ~NAncy

Good luck being productive today! ;)

~NAncy

[mnnorthcountrygirl1]

Absolutely beautiful, Nancy - you have a poet's heart and soul like Emily did.

[nllleonard]

Hi Sharron! Emily's poems are so special! She makes choices in words and construction that make her verse different from poems written by anyone else. I am still surprised by her way of saying things, even after reading her poetry for ...many years.

THanks for your very kind comment!

~NAncy
