The parade began with fanfare colorful displays of red and blue held tightly against your chest my back was turned to you The color guard passed us by drums beat rhythms measure alone in a the crush of many this day became our treasure And then I saw him standing on the other side of the route his body wavering in the sun his face diffused with doubt His tattered suit hung open to reveal a stained white shirt his pants, pinstripe worn to the nub were wrinkled, lined with dirt Hair no longer chestnut hued he was a grey man fading away a wraith in the shadows of a crowd anathema to the day |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Sharon, this is soooooooo heartbreaking, my heart cries out to this poor man and I hope that someone reached out to him through the crowd and kept him company and love he needs so much! (wipes tears) So sad but beautiful, sweet friend, my thoughts are with him always, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sharon, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (02-16-2002 01:55 PM).] |

Thank you so much for replying. This was NOT really from real life..just a challenge phrase from someone. And I wasn't at Mardi Gras...never been, but I hear it's a lot of fun.  |

even in the midst of revelry. . . there is sadness. . . and we must wonder why. . .for, as always, there cannot be one without the other. . . well done my friend. . . you do bring it to life. . . ------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Sharon l always wanted to go too. Just another one of those dreams. You know from this, and my own strange brain, I saw death hovering at the corners of the crowd. Looks like no one else saw that! Interesting, well done. Sandra |
