Wishing Well Interesting, that on a rain driven day when autumn is cast in heaviest gray, and thoughts of you were so far away that a summer smell could and did pervade a memory and the picnic spread below us there in the tall grasses, humming bees and green crested dragonflies buzz bombing now crevices of gray matter and for a split moment I remembered you, and the good times with laughter warming youthful smiles, and I wondered are you all right though you most likely are wherever you be on this cold grainy gray day and for all of the hurt that passed by us after the picnic days of our youth I still wish you well. |

When the path to forgiveness is found life becomes so beautiful. This is extremely wonderful poetic indulgence. *s* If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream... |

one of those softly whispered remembrances that catch us at the most unlikely times... and for all that they cause a twinge of pain, they are still treausred. thank you for the breath of associated memories this afternoon. peace, C |

Soleil Isn't it wonderful how a seemingly simple thing can bring back a memory in such a real way. Thank you for sharing this one. |

Dear Enchantress, my friend, it is always so good to be welcomed again, and I promise, not to stay away so very long... Christopher, without the pain, we would not know what best to treasure. I know your time is brief, but I so enjoy when you glance my way...thank you... Martie, the most simple of memories, make for the most beautiful of poems, at times...even though cast with harsh, still, the silver linings show through... Majnu, welcome to Passions, and I hope you stay around awhile, and allow us to get to know you and your writings...thank you... Magnus...your echoes sound well in the deepest of valleys...thank you... |

"and for all of the hurt that passed by us after the picnic days of our youth I still wish you well."

(sigh) It's so great to see you again, sweet friend, God Bless You, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Soleil, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

JanetMarie...you, my dear, need to favor us with a memory or two, yourself...but your time is busy, though sometimes we need to realign our priorities, yes? Chris, sitting in your library is SO delightful! EarthAngel, you may, if I may to you, as well...thank you! Bill, I hope you continue to do so, thank you... Noah, you keep reading, and learning, and our world will be so much better for the likes of you! Bernie, sometimes, it does, yes. Thank you... Blues, you indeed heard the sincerity of a long ago time...thank you... Wranx, I, too, hope you have not read the last...as I have continued to read yours, and favorable thoughts to accompany... |

...I wish you well... that is the epitomy of real love, of the letting go kind of love, of a person who knows what love really means... I enjoyed this a great deal. Warmly, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

This is so beautiful to me. It's odd how the least thing can bring back a memory, isn't it. I love your poetry. Thanks for sharing. Love To All, Ethel |

Dear Pat, yes, I would agree, when one learns the letting go kind of love, knowing that a together is not meant to be, then that is the epitomy of letting others fly...thank you... Yes, Ethel, and sometimes in order to see our growth, we must let those little memories sneak back in...thank you! Madame C...rainy days are special, to you, and I...they are a snuggly sort of good time...hugs.... |
