It comes in stages
but I don't know what they are,
denial, anger...
They don't matter anyway;
cold misery knows no stage.






Friends, we haven't had a choka chain for a while...and maybe never built one around something like this:
/pip/Forum91/HTML/001469.html

Let's do.

But then I engage
What is cold but absent light
And still I feel hope
Memories crowding senses
All will come right once again

In the morning light
all seems better after night
like starting over
a new day is made for that
and treasuring friends like you

Thank you!

As dawn comes rising
from the cold dampness of earth,
warmth like the daylight
comes swelling up from within,
even death, temporary.

I feel I owe you an explanation... and a bump for my abrupt departure. *S*

I'd never tried a choka before... but decided to be brave and risk it. *S* Unfortunately, my computer loads links at about the speed of syrup flow in northern winters. LOL I'd posted before I realized it was all supposed to be about Martie's poem... and my humble offering didn't fit the theme. *S* (probably didn't fit the definition of a choka, either... but that's now my secret! *G*)

I'll just sit back and enjoy the treats you and Martie and Sunshine have given us... and add chokas to the list of things I should have learned by now. *S*

It is time that nears
Anniversary mornings
Heart fills with warmth, tears
Holding all that makes me Me
And You there, always to Be

Cold misery takes the stage
When the clouds are in a rage.
