As I search for the words to describe such a scene, it will fade from my view leaving only a trace. Just the faintest of clues that it happened at all, even those, over time, will in full be erased. Yet for one instant here all too brief, none the less, I stand witness before, with the wind in my face, all creation which slows to the beat of my heart, knowing nothing will dare to intrude on this place. Where the Earth and the sky meld in fabulous hues, there for all who would see, if mere words could retrace all the steps which led here, and the numerous falls 'til did almost succumb feeling lowly and base. Yet those memories too now seem far and away, like a trick of the light, I reflect, and then brace for the coming of night when the last sun has set, as these words would imply, having known state of grace. |

If read quietly, uninterrupted, it has a particular sing-song cadence... and is very comforting. Thank you, Doc. |

So very true. We make memories.. be they are not *all* good ones, in time they do fade, and even if they are still a part of us they aren't so daunting in their presence anymore. Loved reading this one!!! Lovely as if a stroll in a cool breeze clearing the mind. Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing this calming, comforting word.

wayout, Thank you my friend, I'm off for a short R&R, and perhaps, if the gods favor me, another such moment. Be well. Doc Sunshine, Thank you. That "sing-song' cadence (if I did my homework) would be anapestic trimeter. I've grown rather fond it's rhythm, but then, I'm just a da da dumb moose. Doc SharaRose, Thank you, your synopsis is quite astute, and appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed. Doc Gemini, Thank you. As our lives seem to accelerate out of control, sometimes it becomes necessary to just step back, and take stock, and remember that it wasn't always this way. Writing allows me to do this, as I hope it does for you. Doc Ed, Thanks. I dreamed of reality once, let me tell you, it was not a pretty picture! Now I don't get the two confused as often as I used to. Thanks again for dropping by. Doc Dear Marge, Thank you friend for, well, just being you. Calm is good, albeit sometimes too scarce. Glad you liked. Doc Martie, Thank you. |
