Why?

strangers
when we met
strangers
when we parted
why is it
I can never finish
anything that
I have started

Age old quandry there Helen...why indeed. What I've found is don't worry about it...enjoy it while it last...kinda like life you know...we're never finished when thats gone either.

Of course its not quite that cut and dry - one would have to be emotionless to have it that way, but it makes it easier to accept.

(sigh) Oh Helen, this is soooooo emotionally powerful, sweet friend, I know just how you feel  but never let that get to you, for you are surrounded by many who truly love you and even if we have just a few true friends, they will forever love you for who you are! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Oh wow, so very well stated. Terse and true, and drama embodied.

h,
Everything ends, yet nothing is finished . . .
Methinks a bit of Zen study is in order here.
(or am I just a sucker for the short, concise poem?)
