That day of year is upon me "alone with my thoughts again" time. Words held back for "the sake" of the ask that lays between each of these lines. Two years uncelebrated, except in the losses of such. Missing are happier moments, (being held for the reason of touch.) So to contemplate life as I wish it, pretending is all one can do. Knowing the never will happen and the empty will see the night through. Somedays are a long way off, just stories to fill the mind. The tides will shift and the sun will rise and the wondering is all I will find. The walls are still filled with writings, shared with the lack of intent. Remembering a time when that tree was the climb, to that path reaching out, I lament.  M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less."

So to contemplate life as I wish it, pretending is all one can do. Knowing the never will happen and the empty will see the night through. This was what touched me the most, then I am not sure if I can never give up on my own dreams. Or to do so, would mean to die trying a poet who cares |

Thank you Poet  Barry..well I am getting another year older and it's been at least 2 years since I have been able to celebrate my upcoming birthday as my sister was first diagnosed and in the hospital on my one birthday and the next one she passed away and last year was the laying of her grave stone. I am just hoping for a calm day...even if alone. Yes, Nancy that is the side view of my house..but that tree is now gone..was cut down during the winter as it was dieing... I have the remaining large cut pieces to either dispose of or figure out how to use as some type of ornament with plants in them as they can't be cut yet (the saw chains keep being ruined by the hardness of the center of the tree) my house  hugs M [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (06-10-2006 05:14 PM).] |

What a lovely write Maureen, and what a charming older home.... love it!! Too bad about the tree. Yes, you must make something out of its remains. Enjoyed this, hugs, Chris Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance. |

I like.... The language is reminiscent of the post holocast speak in the last scene of a Mad Max movie. Each word counts...concise |

Excellent! The fun days and sad days with our sisters, or brothers, now gone. But I remember the best of times as you have penned in this line: "Remembering a time when that tree was the climb, to that path reaching out, I lament." Beautiful to remember. Terrible to even think of forgetting. God Bless! JL |
