Before the Dim light a candle before the dim a laugh just splashed and left the pool empty though one ripple remains a lantern over the well no goodbye yet sweet echo is caught of final breath gone the flesh too close this recall that touches the laugh the music lives cannot grieve I see his hold still gripped on light yet I know that it is night light a candle before the dim tell a feeling when don’t wait the gate that swings on whim when closed will be too late _________ reposted in memory of Robert who died last August without a goodbye. |

I remember, and I knew you would not forget. Such a somber evening, filled with poetry of remember. |

This is one of my favorite Martie poems -- stumbled over it in the archives once and just stopped to absorb it, beauty and truth woven together so well that I wondered if I'd write again.... And here it is, back just when I seem to need it myself. Ye move me, lass..... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

tell a feeling when don’t wait the gate that swings on whim when closed will be too late I don't think I've ever read this advice written with more beauty or tenderness... if only we all would heed. |
