I was reminded
just that other day,
perhaps it was in my childhood,
that time should and does
flow for the youth,
frequenting
in a tenured bliss.

I, however,
did not bode
well for time,
for it left little tender bliss
that I might consider……

Remembering

… my childish whim
thrown to the
flickering ember
of my 13th candle.

…its charred husk,
as molten snow
crumbles,
On the cracks of wept wax
The past bleeding true.

Recall it…

“The ICE AGE”
Often glacial
in memento,
etched along  the loom  
of Antarctic caps……
An Imposition
of  
brilliant blank amnesiac white

I am still lost,
here in the mist of a now
and only my shell
shows age...

and my jaded eyes,
the weight of experience
and yet I feel
No more
than a
fragmentary photographic negative…..

Yet I feel
my spirit,
my soul,
they somehow grow younger

as I mellow
with you.




El riesgo vive siempre!

(smiles) Yay!!! Oh, you two make a terrific duo, sweet friends, time and change are indeed two completely abstract concepts that are hard to describe in the ways of the word yet you two have done so well! (big hugggssssss) This is delightful, sweet friends, we all love you both so much! You have such beautiful hearts, sweet Brian and Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
