Blown Away in Hallam were the work and hard links to memories
Yet that air the very atmosphere itself still surrounds us all
Inextricably bound to itself that air

Life’s like that
The joy and the pain inextricably bound they are
Reject one and we reject life itself
The work of life is somehow embracing both that pain
And that joy
So we weep in our pain and we weep in our joy

Yet the memories there still clear and sharp
The memory will linger as long as family and friend survive

Weep not for the memory but for the joy and the pain

You offer an intense write here.

Thank you both.

The people of Hallam understand the hard links to memories yet chose to rebuild.

It is they far more than I who understand what it means for familiy and friends to sustain the memory of what was for each.

When we truly know this, Didymus,
we then only begin to know ourselves.

I'm not sure of exactly what Hallum means to you,
but it is probably something I should look into.

Didymus,

Those memories, some good, some not so good, but always there it seems. Enjoyed the read...
