The sun still rises slowly beautiful soft colors awakening me but it's just not the same as yesterday To capture and live a moment is truly living |

If light still shines and Sol doth rise how can you and yours be undone The moment is all and one thing it awaits at last to know the dawn "Time is merely change. It neither enslaves nor determines us. It is instead our opportunity for self-definition" |

You may have evolved, but at least you can see the beautiful colors. Lovely! A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

This reminds me of a poem that I am writing...I was thinking the sun and the moon can provide joy and romance for one couple and heartache for another...James |

dreamkeeper - I just would like you to know that these six lines touched me very deeply. This is beautiful, with so much meaning. Congratulations on writing this. "The sun still rises slowly beautiful soft colors awakening me but it's just not the same as yesterday" And the night closes showing the stars shining but it is also not the same as yesterday dreamkeeper, I hope that you didn't mind me writing some of my feelings, under yours.

beautiful...and I, too, was inspired by your words It's Just Not the Same... As I think back to the years of my younger days When each morning I woke to the sun It's just not the same, anymore in my mind And sadly I'm two minus one. Many years, together has made me the who that I am today, mirrored view Part of me hidden, the single of old Shall be brought out some day in my new. thank you for the thoughts...{{hugs}} ~Wynter "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |
