Paths of No Return Beneath a wild October sky I seek the gentle caress of memories, from youth and life and love, in the dapple-play of sunlit shadows on this forest path to nowhere. Too many months and years shall now compel our lives in irrevocably distant directions and yet, I will see your face and form always in my dreams, in every Autumn morning mist, snowy Winter woods, each first fine blush of Spring, and all the pensive, sultry nights of Summers passing. --- b. e. adams/Soqwu Disgitisdi Gvdi |

Thanks Ida ... for me, it's too bad that this one is "absolutely auto-biographical" ... What's that Tennyson cliche though? ... "tis' better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all ..." |

I understand these memories which we had rather still be living them. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

you speak of nice dreams, I think it is because you know how to have nice relationships, leaving you with pleasant memories and experiences...james |

thanks, JM ... I believe I know quite well how 'relationships' should be ... as I 'word-paint' them here in the land of poetic dreams (and in some different and better world) Sadly, in so called 'real-life' my 'relationships' haven't fared too well ... |

I have made some bad choices and reaped bad consequences...Speaking for myself I think if we can figure out how to make better choices we will have better outcomes; like planting good seeds and patiently waiting for the harvest...james |
