Deja vu One leaf hanging at the far end of a branch, twisting, turning in the wind, hanging on . . . hanging on – deja vu, years ago when my life was at an end, and I twisted and turned with every second, every minute, tenuously holding on . . . then you, big eyes looking deep into mine putting meaning back into the depths to which I’d fallen, restructuring the feelings that had died, but one, the unraveling tie to life. One leaf, one life. It falls – I watch it die. I live . . . and feel it’s loss. w. james beard, jr. (c) 2003 |

Amazing...this touched me so much. Lovely this is. Beautiful words. I could see the leaf blowing in the wind, and feel the breeze as if I were there. Very nice. Thank you for sharing this. This touched my heart.  Terri~  Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer! |

So sadly beautiful, God forbid we ever let go of the memories of those people that fill our lives with their leaving. It is wonderful to read you here again. I've missed reading your poetry James~ I hope you are well and happy~ |

 (big hugggssssssss) Autumn can bring so many deja vu, sweet friend, when each of the trees take turns with their leaves withering away and that falling leaf reminds you of a broken promise! (sad sigh) Just remember spring too has deja vu and all will be put back in full bloom, God Bless You, I send angel hugs your way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
