Re-living The Pages Years ago Janie and I painted rainbows in the sky, threw stars into the night, taught angels how to fly, then parted . . . went our separate ways. Thinking of her today, I smiled in a way that only lovers can when memories shape their thoughts; I wondered if she ever thought of me, remembered the days we shared – the nights. When one loves one never quite forgets nor loses the feelings prevading the soul when goodbyes are said – memory, the personal diary of every life – remembers, and re-living the pages Janie and I wrote in mine, has made me young again, if only for a while. Years ago Janie and I painted rainbows in the sky, we blew bubbles at everyone we passed, played in parks with little kids, and in the way two people with one heart do, we held hands, swirled our lives in a single slice of life, then melded it all together in the deepening hours of night. Years ago Janie came into my life, and still . . . she lingers there. w.james beard, jr. © may 2003 [This message has been edited by jwesley (05-15-2003 08:14 PM).] |

Jimmy...it's good to see you! Once you have loved someone, no matter where your paths go, the sweet times remains of the time you shared. Beautiful, though sad. |

jw, I know the feeling well. I hold onto memories and special moments and relive them daily. Sometimes I wish they would fade, just long enough, for me to make some new memories. *s M |

jwesley...This is so beautiful, my friend. Your words just seem to float effortlessly across the page and reach down into the romantic part of us that relives the loves that are filed into memory's bank. ***Ivy Rose |

"when one loves, one never quite forgets" you have no idea how much this hits home Sir. . . well done. . . ----------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

JWesley~ I think, perhaps, this is the loveliest read I will enjoy this day~ 'When one loves one never quite forgets' Ahhhhhhh, yes~ And that's how it should be~  *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
