There is no greater sorrow than to recall in misery the time when we were happy. ~ Dante


Liquescent memories
flow over cheeks reddened
by the blow of a dream's end
and knowing it would come
has never lessened its sting

***Not exactly the most uplifting words, but more in the spirit of 'I Understand' which sometimes makes all the difference when words of encouragment seem hollow or cliched. I wanted to write individual poems for each of you but the muse..well she won't cooperate. So share in this group hug(for lack of a manlier word for it)and know your friendships mean the world to me.***


We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us. ~ Charles Bukowski

Thanks for this write..a reminder of how I would want to chase the train of dream thoughts (upon rude awakenings to my 9 to 5 slave job)...only to see a glimpse of the caboose rush off relentlessly
