Yet & Again “Haven’t you thrown that away, yet?” For though the paper is beginning to parch From lack of touch, loss of starch, No, I have not yet Thrown away the beginnings of me.. As reality reels just too damned true, Still I hold to hope, and, too, That bit of me which held a dream No, I have not yet Thrown away my beginnings, see… ~*~ Warm nights soft lights from stars above which I know little of Walking along the sand listening to the demand of seagulls overhead wanting to be fed Rocks, huge and terrifying heights defy the waves with all their might Blanket of blue lies overhead fringe of gray on horizon’s edge looks cold, and dead. Hours pass ~ dawn at last pink and blue as baby new wanders from mother of old. Gold sand stretches along waves crashing a song. Somehow? I don’t belong. So I leave quiet behind me. Leaving a world of nature’s own to wander towards my distant home. © 1968 ~*~ I feel me then, Long locks and frozen clocks Slender limbs and full of him, Way back when… He’s gone, a long time coming Full circle now, Still I crave the beach For somehow, someone feels the reach And won’t throw my beginnings Out to sea.

He’s gone, a long time coming Full circle now, Still I crave the beach For somehow, someone feels the reach Karilea~ This is so very pretty... enjoyed the view from the shoreline out to sea. |

You know, Every so often, the tide turns, and brings back only what has remained strong and endless. Wonderful. TD |

Karilea, I am enjoying so much the way you incorporate yesteryear with today in these pieces... These are so precious and filled with much insight. No..not yet...perhaps, not ever. ~Hugging you tight for jogging my own memory~  |

Moi duex! I love the history behind the poem, and in this one the feelings it brings out in the reader which are sadness in the loss, hope in the future, but almost a void inbetween somehow. I did like this one a lot! |

As reality reels just too damned true, Still I hold to hope, and, too, That bit of me which held a dream No, I have not yet Thrown away my beginnings, see… This is just lovely. You inspired me: Yes, reality can be a dream come true. If we hold onto our beginnings and follow them through. Glad to see you, my friend. -Patricia |

Karilea...to complete any circle, you must go back to the beginning to form the clasp. Love this, and you!!  |
