They Are Gone it has been said he left, as did she and they might have taken a slight sabbatical for a little while but they left their soft smiles I know because I've been to the archives which can, in itself, this word "archive" be a lovely word or a dank word depending on what is in its hold and what it is holding but these archives are delicious and nutritious and sustaining of all that I seek their smiles…and everything else they left behind so do not chide me nor deride me for the time I spend in here, letting it all sink in again and again their words of passion of heartbreak and surcease, of love and light of misery and hope of misguided thoughts and wars well won and wars duly lost of spirits and spiritual love of planes and substances untouchable but all of which are left readable their words sustain my soul and the tiniest, most miniscule thoughts were planted in my brain because of their words which someone did not leave unheard but rather, read and enjoyed, even if only by One… that One person captured a piece of the writer, the poet, the author that One person went away or stayed because of that writer, poet, author and forevermore shall remember or if not actually remember, still, will have been touched, just once by the Passion of the Person, Poet, Painter of Promise. so on this very holy day a day of rest a morning come early with soft electrical candle's light and if fortunate, then on into the night I shall visit and reacquaint myself with friends who are on sabbatical, but visit them I shall in the archives. Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?...KRJ |

Karilea, what a great idea, what a great poem. Be well Kethry. Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |

What a great idea... One of my personal favorites is Wolfgang. I sure do wish he'd find his way back here...  |

Kari, snap love, I've just come out from there actually. (sorry, sneezing from all the dust!) This is beautiful, and so are those achives. Loud and boisterous cheers from me, well as loud as I can manage at the moment. Take care Marsha  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

because I've been to the archives which can, in itself, this word "archive" be a lovely word or a dank word depending on what is in its hold and what it is holding but these archives are delicious and nutritious and sustaining of all that I seek their smiles…and everything else they left behind ==================== yes...exactly ... when I first came here I was having some of the worst insomnia ...many a long night was spent by candle light..in the back pages reading all the words of grace engraved in time... you have captured their gift perfectly and the way it feels to make the discoveries. very cool poem Sun, very cool indeed. later-see ya in the archives-gator jm |

What a lovely thought and what a lovely piece you've written, as usual!!! Something to keep in mind to sustain oneself when in that oh so reflective mood  Peppermint Life is a Wheel |

Karilea~ They are not gone for they remain in the archival attic of remember. As you know, I visit there often ... on a mission or just a passion to read, read, read. There are jewels in the archive chests. Let's have a treasure hunt ! (No... not one of those brain-bogglers) Just take a tour from time to time to find a jewel and make it shine with the glow of knowing it touched us. Really nice and caring write, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

One of my favorite places to visit. . . I know that I found the sun there myself. . .  I would say that if you haven't been to the archives, that you go. . . and see what has been done here. . . *sigh*. . . I really do miss some of those people. . . Wonderful write Karilea. . . --------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Karilea. what a wonderful topic for a poem! Yes, the archives are wonderful places. That's one of the beauties of being a writer...as long as your words exist...you exist. We are as close to immortal as humans can get....and we never really go away. |

What a beautiful way to bring to light what we sometimes seem to forget about. This is not only one of your best but it is also a darn great idea for this wonderful day...Thank you for that and this lovely penning from you. |
