I heard your name whispered on the wind
~ like a long ago sigh ~
and I took the time
(again) to wonder why

I questioned myself
but got the same old reply
I have no idea
why you said goodbye

I heard your name whispered on the wind
~ a reminder of days gone by ~
held my heart
and let myself cry

I cried for memories
those shared ~ those that will never be
I cried for the loss
of you and me

I heard your name whispered on the wind
~ felt my spirits fly ~
I made peace with the past
and told your memory goodbye.

SEA, a beautiful piece, yes it is hard to say goodbye. Enjoyed reading this.  


why must we pray
screaming? why must not death be redefined? we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms and whirl on a pane of glass-patti smith

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

SEA, my friend~
Welcome the warm breezes that blow
a sweet memory into your waiting remember.

It is a special feeling, isn't it ?

You did a wonderful job of letting
the memories take control and waft
gently through this piece.
Sometimes we've just 'gotta tell it like it is !

Memories seem to flow back like a whisper on the wind. Very well written, nicely flowing work.

SEA . . .

This was beautiful writing.  I just love the end.  Making peace with the past is the only way we can truly say good-bye.  Have a tissue for those tears.  Hope to catch up with you soon on icq.

SEA....

      The words are so beautiful.....

"I heard your name whispered on the wind.."

  I can almost hear it myself.
  I think the ending really was perfect...
  it is so very hard to say goodbye to a
            memory.....

I heard your name whispered on the wind
~ like a long ago sigh ~
and I took the time
(again) to wonder why

These words are straight from my heart.  My problem was that I answered the call of the wind four different times over a number of years and yes each time she said good-bye after only a short time.  She has always known that I would come to her when she asked but now I need to find a way to say no and that is not easy.  Wonderful write.
