And then, I… Sometimes there should be a smallish rag of softest cotton, kid gloves and yes, a flashlight, that we welcome a visit to archived love… for no words could nor would come to me this night, and oh, Lord, I wanted to place substantially pen to parchment, even though, with self-said best intentions, when even summer excitement of friends, visiting, (too swiftly they came, and left…) this strong need to burrow into someone’s past, where words were [still are] mushrooming in the dark, still growing silently, showing me that manure [isn’t that what I wrote?] continues to give… even in sunlight. Skipping past the trench of words, seeking remarks to study, for what was so good that they would come to comment, sometimes, even twice… I wondered then going back to see maybe what they saw… and then, there, names of lost poets who clung with forever thoughts raked my spine with fingers shivering and I found this poet’s self selfishly reading these past loves, even their teasing, giving this self reason, somehow counting meanwhile, too short their seasons, and then, I cried. ~*~ In memory of our members, who have come, and gone... and for whom we will never stop loving, as poets, and friends. |

you forgot the tissue alert.... Oh when I think of those who were so very loved and who have moved on.... I am grateful to Ron for these archives that continually give us the gift of their words, and for a few emails I have and some of the responses they gave to me in sharing their wisdom on life and love... sigh.. thank you Momma K, for this warm feeling this morning.  Love ya. Give me your heart |

I know exactly what you mean, Karilea. Have done it several times myself. Though I missed the meeting of some of those souls, I know their souls through their words, and perhaps tears I might shed for those, then, are a little selfish in the wish I had known them better. ....jo |

Mind if I cry along with you?? If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

Whenever I need a little peace, I get a coffee, go to the archive to read the poetry of some of our departed poets. There was such wisdom in Wilfred's words, humor in Lyra's shenanighans, love of faith and mankind in Whitedove's poetry, and unique gift of sharing in Michael's works. This is a great reminder to grab the flashlight and go there again this evening. Nicely done Karilea. |
