Life to Love
18 June 2006

Of those thoughts we have
and the day to the moon
Happiness, or being sad
made tomorrow another new

So comes summer, the sunlight warm
for where was spring, that of a winter night
Seasons to account, moderate to fall
this day of all days, upon a mountain top tall

To never know, or just to find out
this thought of truth, that away from doubt
For where was passion, that to another kin
no empty promises, only renewed in death

Everything in its place
the twilight, an evening dawn
Sure it was true, a life to love
whatever was twisted and turned
it will happen, when those dreams come true

“some times a comment is an inspiration
some times it can be more”

this poem was written after reading another persons poem, in this case, not on pip.

but all the same, I understand how we find ways to respond on what we have read in our own way.

so after writing my words in spirit of that inspiration, the words of the footnote came to me, even if I was quoting myself in the process

the footnotes do serve a purpose, not all may understand, and one factor is to do with filling the pages in my publications. Another is in trying to assist the reader.

either way the style of my presentation with footnotes has been with me for several years now.

thanks for your kind input to my writing
