..my grandfather...was very handy  he had this little bar he built in the corner of his garage..he'd entertain friends..and family..and often he and his brothers would get together and play music..as he got older, the bar began sitting empty more and more...this is its story ---------------------------------------- ancient whiskey bottles standing tall amidst dust and spiders weave. bottles of crystal glistening shyly holding memory of days gone by. replicated laughter bellows from within obscure smiles-- and tears of some... liquid innards splash to the music and gently glide with the dance... though still now, the music has stopped and quiet, the laughter is silenced you must believe in the ancient stories you must listen close to hear-- but listen. listen with your heart-- dont miss the songs of time. -dgvarner "Half of what i say is meaningless; but i say it so that the other half may reach you." -Kahlil Gibran |

Dg, you've made me realize just how precious moments every moment really is...How much I'm going to miss my first house (which entertained 20-40 people any given night) and all my friends...how I have to hold on right now to what I've got before my laughter fades, and the music slowly dies away. Thankyou so much! |

DGVarner~ What a delightful read. How nice of you to save me a stool at 'pawpaws' corner pub ! I hear the laughter bouncing off the walls. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
