At night, I wait
next to napping,
holding up a creased
picture of our times
together.
          
             It keeps me.
on my bed
breathless
                       simply by
                    exuberating to me, (
oak trees, where first kiss kissed.
                                somehow Maryland
      touches once again         ) me on my bed.
I think of childhood again,
      daffodil smiles in our fields;
even the dandelions were pretty.
   Our dog Wolfgang died one summer,
I cried over him, too.
Mother told me a picture

             is worth a thousand words.
I can't seem to find mine.
    Maybe only tears will do.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Derek, this is soooooo beautifully bittersweet, sweet friend, I believe pictures are worth more than a thousand words but also motivates us with love and hope to carry on with their words close at heart! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Derek, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I like the feel of this, the
                 empty spaces filling
in
                     with wandering
thoughts
