We were researchers between grasses and poplars, childhood adventurers in a time that once existed by crossing streets, fields or climbing fences, remember? Crescent moon passing so sure and luminous time trembled faintly strange like a flickering visage on yellow wings the stars so crowded above we lost count - you did tell me they were real, didn't you? When I first met you,you sang so sweetly to the stars as the ancient warriors looked down and Venus crashed with Mars, we danced upon our mythical playground so many years ago - was it me who loved you first, or was it you who loved me first? We raced beyond childhood; we are now but ghosts of the children who rampaged through the halls of grub dominions probing the wilderness of freedom while dodging double-decker buses "I am not now that which I have been." |

Julian~ I really enjoyed the imagery in this verse~ 'Crescent moon passing so sure and luminous time trembled faintly strange like a flickering visage on yellow wings the stars so crowded above we lost count - you did tell me they were real, didn't you?' ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

SEA: thank you so much. I can always count on support from you, and that is very special. Mysteria: I wish I could turn back the clock sometimes, and return to small town wonders. It was a special time. So is this; however, I am graying. lol Marge: thank you so much for reading my tumble of words. dgvarner: thank you. It's been a very long time since I've been "cool." hugs. Sven: bless you,dear. "I am not now that which I have been." |

This brought back a million memories...beautiful and embracing ones. Time may move forward, but the foundation beneath the steps it takes are the memories of the yesterday's that support the journey into tomorrow. It's a circle of the dreams of a child...searching and following those dreams...finally evolving into the memories of the adventures and priceless footsteps that chased them...realizing at the dusk of the final day...at least one of them came true.... Hugs to you, sweet lady!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luv, Dawn |

Martha: now since my memory is having fun, how about I turn into "30" again? "I am not now that which I have been." |
