Memorial Verses of Desire ~*~ “…When Byron’s eyes were shut in death we bow’d our head and held our breath He taught us little; but our soul Had felt him like the thunder’s roll.” Mathew Arnold, 1850 ~*~ And I perhaps in little verse Would spend my life in full rehearse To come around, then come again To leave a sense of where, and when. Would I so live memorial? Better still to live before funeral Flowers would grace my grave To spend more than that to save, To spend words of valued trust And let not this good pen rust; Perhaps I am not a sage grown white But by Truth I shall pen some light For I would take the darkest chill Thus lend to life a sunbeam’s thrill, To fill one’s soul with purest beam, To give one cause to hold a dream. For I read Arnold’s penned poem, Prayed to the poets bon homme As it struck me while night did fall That I might write, beyond the pall. ~*~ ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 25 June 2002 |

Kari, you may not write beyond the pall but your writing will be remembered by many on this side of the veil and yes, we would say there is a sense of permanency in this wirter's works. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

  BRAVO!!! Yes, to commemmorate someone is such a wonderful feeling and to commemorate oneself it helps to write on so then you and your whole coterie of loved ones will always know exactly who you are and every memorial will be filled with so much to share and cherish! (sigh) Your words reflect those of Matthew Arnolds so well, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Thank you for this great expression Mind at work in endless session See the words of full confession Seeking the tools of fine expression Thank you for this display of your desires..and for the kind words on "meter methods". I look forward to enjoying this group. ps..sometimes..when the syllabification (emphasis) is important..memorial and funereal fit together.. Your use here was fine..just a tip for a future poem. |

Kethry, kind of you to think so, from your thoughts to everyone's heart, hey? Simply trying to express what I believe every writer thinks, from time to time, yes?... Bridget, between you and me, we shall see if the flame lives on, yes? Yes! Kris, I'm trying to! Again, welcome to Passions!... Thank you for reading, Noah! Hearthugs from Marge...can't get much better'n that  "Clink" to the tribute, Madame Chipmunk.... KayJay, thank you for the pointers...never fear to leave your wisdom behind in a response, y'hear?...thank you! Interloper, I will continue to make sure I don't let you down...thank you!... Enchantress, you're the one with the lovely in all .. name, poetry, heart... Richard, merci... |

Karilea: "For I would take the darkest chill Thus lend to life a sunbeam’s thrill, To fill one’s soul with purest beam, To give one cause to hold a dream." and indeed you do! Beautifully!  |

You'll be remembered for more than the words you write, Karilea. You're a fine person, too. |

You write sooo wonderfully. It captures a part of my soul. Distance is the prison for our bodies, but no prison could weaken our passion. |

I hope we have many more decades of treasures from your pen before we need to worry about your memorial. *G* But never doubt your legacy... some of your words are already imprinted on this heart... but they'll scoot over to make room for more. *S* Beautiful work, Sunshine! *S* |
