somebody died and I don't know who but it is sad to hear somebody died world, this is a strange place, where people meet each day, days pass and years, they seem to fly and after several flights people depart, walking away into another meaning of paradise and yet we move on as we evolve and the mill rolls shed a t e a r and pay homage and then wipe the tear away and all we are left with are memories photographs in the souls neatly titled by feelings towards the departed and relationships developed in that life time "thus went my friend, who inscribed in this heart, with all his/her essence of being, four letters l o v e" gift, it is a gift to remember and to drink a sip of tea and look at the cup that you hold and be reminded of the one who had held it once when your friend was in town before the body has taken leave it has left the spirit stays behind to spread light ... I don't know why I wrote this, but I haven't written much lately. Just thought I should share this. Moreover, I have been tied up by many things... I'm really sorry for not being around to read all that you wonderful poets write. I really miss reading you all. Thanks for understanding. Regards, Sudhir [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 07-13-2001).] |

Yes, this is wonderful and I'm so happy you've shared it. It must be that it was being stored up to be written. It is one I'd love to share with a "Hope for Healing" group. Is that okay? |

Sudhir, a very insightful and well written poem, It seems that most people's muses are going silent at the moment. Maybe it is a poetry flu going around. "Here I am in prison,here I am with a ball and chain There is whiskey in the jar-o" Traditional irish song. |

Sudhir~ This is so softly said~ 'gift, it is a gift to remember and to drink a sip of tea and look at the cup that you hold and be reminded of the one who had held it once when your friend was in town' Yes, it is exactly like that~ 'the spirit stays behind to spread light' My friend, my friend ~ Thank you~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Wonderful ponderings from you today Sudhir ... I've missed this. Your wonderful visual of holding the cup that a friend once held, stays with me. How often we can hold something inanimate, and yet allow our minds to wander into the reality of what "was". Beautiful Sudhir ... just lovely. Best wishes, /Kit |

A light touch to a heavy subject. Nice to think of the departed as a reminding comfort in their passing. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve" |

This rambling speaks your mind, and heart, Sudhir. Not your usual fare, but then, all things change, so that we can come around again to find ourselves... we miss you, too.... come back when you can... |
