Needing Peace Visited today... climbed the rolling green hill. Words prepared, when reaching you, were gone. Weakly, gliding shaking hand over strong gray marble, warmed by the sun's heat familiar names on either side, brought to mind happier times. Surrounded by ocean blue skies huge clouds floating above wondering... Can you see my tears? Can you share my pain? Can you hear my thoughts? Lifting my head, through damp eyes, noticed a tiny shell resting on another's edge. Examined the spiral within a spiral, once a life within a life... left behind in memory of someone "special". I have nothing to leave this time only sorrowful news and eternal love. Leaning, my body against for support now peacefulness entered my soul, stilled my shaking arresting my thoughts hoping the winds of today will dry my tears, becoming the soft breezes of my tomorrows My kissed fingers touched your etchings saying goodbye, before walking the paths of others, reaching out to touch their warmth in passing hoping they too, can feel mine knowing a part of my heart remains for all to share in eternal peace.

My kissed fingers touched your etchings saying goodbye, before walking the paths of others, reaching out to touch their warmth in passing hoping they too, can feel mine knowing a part of my heart remains for all to share in eternal peace. Maureen, god the pain and loss in this poem fills every line, I am stumbling for words beautifully written piece very emotive phew... I am sorry but I am not great at offering words of comfort, be well take care and peace. I am sorry for the loss. This is the hour when the mysteries emerge A strangeness so hard to reflect A moment so moving goes straight to your heart" JOy divison |

Maureen, VERY strong sharing of an emotion and feelings that none of us ever want but we all eventually have. I haven't been there yet but now I have an inkling of how it will feel. VERY VERY good poem |

Maurine - You reached some very deep feelings in me with this exquisitely written passage. I'm quite overwhelmed by the emotions you carried into this poem. Absolutely wonderful, and sad. |

"hoping the winds of today will dry my tears, becoming the soft breezes of my tomorrows." This...says a lot. You can survive with hope.... and a little help from your friends... take care....James |

brian ...I don't think I will ever get over the loss of my father..and will continue to seek his spirit out for guidance, I just know that my circumstances would be so devastating to him, if he were here, as they have been for me... ~~soft thanks for your comforting words Maureen |
