Who whispers beneath my window in the darkness? Is it you planning my destruction of the soul Or plotting thief I can’t prevent in my weakness. Are you dividing things before the body’s cold? Will you be disappointed I’ve no jewelry, No large piles of cash or stash of glittering gold, No fancy stereo and just a small TV, Not even fashionable clothing to be sold. Who wanders from my window into darkness To plot and plan another’s post destruction, Now looking for a wealthier one of weakness, It seems that poverty is it’s own protection; But having some real wealth is more than gaudy looks For I have mankind’s great knowledge bound in old books.

So much food for thought here gloom. I have seen this done, people waiting for loved ones to die to get their hands on valuables. How sick a society we live in. I love the idea of your wonderful treasure book filled with your writings. NOW THAT IS REAL VALUE. That is what I would take had I a choice. nicely done. floria Floria |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Aszard, this is so very sad, it too pains me to see people be so cruel and yearn to take the possessions after the death of a loved one rather than valuing the love and the memories! (big hugggssssss) This is so very sad and expressive, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Aszard, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

This is the best you have ever written..and you have written many wonderful poems...this one to me (especially the end) says truth. *s Maureen "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

A true gift isn't always immediately visible, gloomy one... You have a gift to give indeed...  |

This truly strikes a chord for me. Things are just things, but the lessons we learn in life and the people we touch are our true wealth. I love my rickety stuff!! And all my books. |
