So............... I watched the
moon set on our amour drifting
truant yonder noble rocky ridges

on dreadful barren night the
criticism ran thick with
anxious shoaling
my thoughts
couldn’t
speak
couldn't

breathe apropos
and no answers showing I
could find pondering and thinking
of you and your reflections long after
you were gone and taken quench
sight as if this is what was
right for you why
then in my
soul
do
I feel
it is so damn

wrong

If I could paint a portrait, of this life in which I've led, and somehow sketch a story, of the visions in my head, I'd start out with a canvas, stretched tightly in a frame, and in the bottom corner, I'd leave room to sign my name.  (Michelle A. Bartley)

"My thoughts couldn't speak"
What a wonderful line and so often true.
Like this much, but I know it's not about my dear Rosemary

Hi.. Liz

Where's the coffee..? Your right it's not about RJ. I was trying to write something in rememberance for my little brother. I guess I'm trying to give myself ideas. Our prayers are with you and Tony.

Love You, Dale

Lucky Me !
To find words by you !

Reflecting is a path of ponder
Whereupon your thoughts do wander
Looking back through sighs of cause
Often bringing reverent pause


Your words about your brother find
a crevice of ache in your heart ...
you tell it well, my friend.

Oh Lucky, so pondering, and who can say except time itself, and maybe not then, why or what is...but still our minds won't release the questions.  Many hugs and much love to you and RJ.

Hey, you long tall rascalberry you!  Posting poems while I sleep, eh?  Well, I finally caught up with you, and, honey, you've done it again!  So much emotion, a vivid picture painted.  My dear husband, I so admire your work!




The spiritual wind that holds survivors aloft, plants the seeds from which bloom new hope ... R.J.G.
