Ashes By Paul Wilson So you want to say goodbye and revel in my sorrow This would bring you joy at my expense Temptation sits on shoulder waiting for the perfect time Pockets empty of all hope the wind is calling me home Turn the page face my fears I’ll be stronger tomorrow I’ll avoid your foolish ploy ashes all that remain Keep some if you like in that memory you wear Tomorrow you’ll forget everything we never got to share Throw my ashes upon the winds of time My tears forever have run dry No box for me nor cold hole in the ground I want my ashes to soar beyond the highest clouds around Hide your tears of sorrow don’t let them fall on my account Your tears and my ashes like us would never mix very well One last thought before I go We might not see eye to eye but I will always love you so ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

... and this last thought brings everything together into balance and into the right light. This is very beautifully written, dear Paul. The pain is tangible. Love, Margherita  |

~ "the wind is calling me home" ~ "No box for me nor cold hole in the ground I want my ashes to soar beyond the highest clouds around" Paul, the entire poem is quotable, however, the above lines, I found to be especially moving. God bless you, dear Poet Man, Linda  |

Paul~ Such tender poignancy in this heart-pour~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

its not the way we lived our lives but the sum of all of the ways that will take us higher ..... we tend to linger bad before accepting good this is so good ... it belongs on upon a mantle in the open! CT |
