Keep Of Time

~*Marge Tindal*~

A quarter past a heartache
half-an-hour beyond the rhyme
Clouds-in-cast of shadow
upon the sun dial of time~

Hour-glassed sands have drifted
to the bottom of my soul
Calendar pages flipping backwards
to the days of old~

Wristing watch in rested tick
no longer sweeps in seconds measured
Faced with keep of recorded time
in diary pages treasured~

Alarm-of-remember shatters
the keep of broken dreams
The silence of your heart
no longer touching mine
screams ..........~
and screams ...~
and screams..~

~Oh Mike .... another June in cry~
~*~
David Michael Cowart
June 20, 1946 - July 3, 1980
So missed are you, my little brother~

Big hugs to you, friend.

Dear Marge:  These sad days of remembrance that roll around every year, are so hard to get through.  They always bring the memories flooding back and the tears!  My heart is sad for you and your loss!

Love

Marge, a moving  remembrance of a beloved brother. The pain of that loss never quite fades away. It must be difficult for you at this time of year. The writing is heartfelt and spectacular as usual. ***Ivy Rose

Marge - you did bring a tear to my eyes with this writing. My younger brother is also gone, but never forgotten. My best to you...

For you it is June
For me it's September
and pain does not go soon
in time of remember

But still there is life
and laughter goes on
the pain that is rife
is soon lost to song

Have faith in your grieving
while you're feeling blue
but keep on believing
his love sees you through.

Keth *hearthhugs

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
