When I'm Gone

When I never write again
you shall not even know I'm gone
not for long
no, and I am not wrong
you'll not know when I'm gone

when I never write again
can't imagine the where or when
but if it should happen then
won't be for long
no, and I am never wrong

for I have a beautiful dream
you see
of writing in calligraphy
for a scribe of God I'll be
no, and I am not wrong
you'll not know when I'm gone

for in your dreams I'll come
and softly muse you with a hum
and lead your dreams to sway away
and guide you in your dream
today
you'll not know when I'm gone

and if for a moment you seem alone
seek the Sun and you shall see
a brilliant little reminder of me
strong enough to melt the stone
no, and I am not wrong…

you'll not know when I am gone

Karilea~
I'm tossing my chips in the pot with Balladeer on this one -

'and if for a moment you seem alone
seek the Sun and you shall see
a brilliant little reminder of me'


We would remember, yes ...
but we'd know for sure !

But, you ain't going nowhere with out us calling out the posse ...
so don't EVEN go there !

Can't imagine you gone... your poetry writing is a joy to read.
This one is another example of your special talent for words.

I'd know, I would
For life wouldn't be as it should
And if I could
I'd fetch you back because you're good
I know I would
This is lovely and full of light
                    

Stone walls do not a prison make
Nor iron bars a cage
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for a hermitage
If I have freedom in my love
And in my s

Karilea, you words are carved on the hearts of the people who read them, they will continue to shine on brightly for a long time to come.  

There's a feeling of contentment Now that you are here I feel satisfied I belong
inside Your velvet heaven" Depeche mode

Kari love, I'd know, you know I would don't you.
This is as it always is 'pas excellance'
Superb love it really and truly is.
Take care

as long as Sun shines in the sky
her light will shine in the heart
in the heart of those she has touched
they will know her, and her words
she will speak to them, as she always has
in words of light, and of love. . .

you know you'll never really be gone don't you??
