 Like the former and the present we will never meet We are here together in a world of incomplete Every want that we have shared never will be fed Every thought too hard to write never will be read Why is it that all the softest skin is in a dream Why is every act of yearning parted by a seam How can anything be real that you cannot hold How can meaning turn to matter if it’s only told We are in a world defined as, simply in effect We are what impossible is, trying to perfect We are every last, in essence, dying to be true We are all the sea and sky both, forever blue |

In my opinion, you have embarked upon a new style of writing, or maybe my interpretation in the past as been insufficient, Whether you have changed your style or I have fine tuned my interpretation. Whatever, we're riding in the fast lane now. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Your ending says it all for me. Made my eyes water..i felt every thought and emotion as if it were my own.  |

Like that message in the bottle or a message in a balloon, life has precious moments and some we willnever learn. Love the way you write.Jo |

I like this. It seems to tell me that we can only be 'we' if we are together. And so often, any more, we can't be. I especially find it true of internet relationships. We seem to be so close, but how can we be? Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

dear Bluesy... yes, water, the ocean, the sea, it always seems to be the common thread in much of our writing... even spilling out of our eyes every now and again.. i wish there was a way we could stay more in touch.. but you know me I'll probably wander away as soon as the next wind picks up.. thanks for always, being there you will always be very special to me |

thank you Alison, what a special treat to hear from you and know that you are still in contact with this place.. i think for me its been 12 years now or so.. that's a fair piece of time isn't it.. i still remember the early years when i wasnt working for a spell, sitting up late at night and having convo's with you and others.. keeping each other company in a sense way before myspace and facebook! i hope all is well up alaska way.. we keep hearing all the ice is melting its probably from that big warm heart of your's... take care my friend, nice to hear from you.. |
