The still bygones of occasion find me, at the feet of hills, libraries of rock, and archives, blanketed by living books, solitary, with frozen toes for roots, as, branches bare like arthritic fingers, shelve writ and leaflets, of miniature scripts, anointing me with vibrancy and lexicon, the sheer and the multitudes, of dream and lyric, the volume, the anecdotes, the myth, and the falsehoods, of brevity, that engulf me. Standing beset of hues magnificent, crackling, and delicate, plummeting in sprawl, of souls and tear, a mound, a mist, a misfortune, a lust, the obligatory tales, the masters, twirling into emptiness, into conclusion, like feathers and whirlwinds do, words of past reason piled onto decks of moss and growth, decay, the leaves of bliss and woe, of yesterday’s, reason. Let us rake through heaps of scribbles, multicolored, of calendar moment drafted on tree skins, tattoos of nature, and recollect. Sentiments, that fell from hearts like the ends of legend, the bread of chapters, sown from the deaf winds, and the broken quill, inkwells, of drying blood, spilled onto parchments, of perpetuity, on this, the birthday of date, the sprout, of inception, the last call, of late, that maculate, conception. The years were never told, to be easy. Supposedly the wise knew that, but still, they wept, as they fell. Too often times we sign checks resolute, to our own banks of conscience, forelclosed. Resolutions of intent used only later as pavement, to damnation infernal. Let’s mend our old acquaintance so that they won’t be for naught. To halt that they wont disappear, and never brought to mind. Should old acquaintance, always be, and never once, forgot. So we can still behold together, better days of kind. Vow with me to keep that dream from cold banks of denial. Pledge with me to win the tribulations, of our trials. Hold with me, that one last chance, to savor, what is time. So that we, can toast in friendship, always, auld lang syne. |

Thank you Hope, yeah after last night, I think I may have one more toast in me lol. Linda, Linda, Linda, how are you my dear. I don’t know what I would do if I ever came back and you were not here. Yes, a toast to lasting friendship dear one, no matter how long, and in between. Sweet, sweet Margherita, the same with you, you have always been such a good friend, and a wonderful soul. How lucky I am to know this type of kindness. Flappy Nude Gear to you all of you too! Sorry, sometimes my keyboard gets stuck lol. |

Too often times we sign checks resolute, to our own banks of conscience, forelclosed. Resolutions of intent used only later as pavement, to damnation infernal. Let’s mend our old acquaintance so that they won’t be for naught. So much truth in that my friend! Nice reflective write. Eric |
