For what is love if it's not this: a gather of remembrances-- our families become our friends and friends are vital, pliant strength in the days of clouds that curse questioning our worthiness casting shadows of the doubt: bequeathed as deed unto us all. Our moment in the sun is tall that we're allowed to celebrate dancing as the winds in squall form storms that won't alleviate the pain of flesh we knew at birth departed from us, churned to Earth-- a seed to sprout again. * * * "What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly." Richard Bach |

Although uncharacteristic of your work, I love it every bit as much as your characteristic work! And I love your quote from Richard Bach too! I think my favourite line is "Our moment in the sun is tall" Owl |

This is a bit different for you, Karen but I like it very much. My granddaughter's name is Leah. Ida |

Softly, quietly...touching the screen sighing, may she blossom forever in love's garden.  |

though this is far more personal than I shall ever be able to fathom, I found this stanza deeply captivating: "Our moment in the sun is tall that we're allowed to celebrate dancing as the winds in squall form storms that won't alleviate" beautiful write...thanks for sharing |

The closer that life navigates o'er mortal seas where heaven waits I wonder at the world's birth for as in Heaven so on earth. In that final moment's breath I'll reach beyond the pale of death on reverant wing, a gentled dove horizons, sky, the hearts I love. ... I love the heart in your lines, Karen. Such a lovely poet you are, and I have to add, that I am addicted to Richard Bach's writings.  ~ kl |

Love is fog of breath surrounding yearning hand pressed to glass in window of slowly departing train. |

our families become our friends and friends are vital, pliant strength ~*~ True loves stay... forever, and unconditionally... because our friends will remember them with us. I know I'm late in responding to this, but oh, it feels good to remember wonderful people... |
