Despair’s perfect storm--- The burning urge To write just one more letter To a friend now dead--- Beyond the alphabet, the syllables, The words churning in the heart! Oh, how hollow the sorrow of remiss--- "Best to receive flowers while we live"! |

You have such talented use of expressions "Despair’s perfect storm--- The burning urge To write just one more letter" I sympathize with the opportunities lost. We often let the pricelss slip away. Thanks for sharing. sharyn |

I think we all have our haunting regrets, Art. You just know how to say what we're all thinking. Ida |

Great piece, my friend. That's why I don't visit the graves of friends of relatives. If I didn't let them know when they were alive...it's too late now (confident they knew though...). j. |

Hello Art, we are desperately naive about each others feelings, we should do more and more to comunicate nicely, I'm sure we could... Bravo mon ami. yann |
