I have loved the all of you, the light beyond the moon’s darkened rim, the stone cast to the last dousing skip, the breath that touched my lips as my own did yours in the pale sultry color of a smooth silk covered peach. I have cried, countless the tears that escape the rim of my eyes, falling silently into the awaiting pool that forms and ebbs, grows and then dies silently among the cracks of broken earth. I have dreamt, dreaming of moments that await us, moments that carry the earth into the palms of our hands...as we mourn the loss that haunts me, the one last river that has carried me into the waiting dawn....as I once again await a lonesome river....and stars fall from the mountains to our sea. |

Oh, yes, dear poet, you are a man who knows about love and you write about it with such depth ~ and ever so poetically. Warm hug and an understanding smile, Linda |

"as I once again await a lonesome river" Very, very touching. You're very hard pressed if you want to get me sad, but I feel the melancholy. Pops |

Written with great feeling Magnus but always remember that no matter how low we are feeling, the sun will always rise again. and hopefully, before too long you will be able to smile again. good luck my friend. Lindsay |
