       For You


       I will look for you
       where I saw you last
       knowing full well
       that you will not be there.

       Sometimes we are cursed
       to have survived
       and to go on looking
       into the emptiness.



In memory of Helen . . .

I have no tears and there will never be tears enough.

This so beautiful in its soft spoken simplicty that belies its depth.

This is precious:
I have no tears and there will never be tears enough.

Thank you Ida, Jerry & Lori for your kind words in reply.

Difficult to write now.
I think I am still working through stage one.

No, time does not heal, but it may soften the scar.

And me for you, too, K.
I know of the dynamic you have lost.

Must go on, must go on - but with a limp.

The bond between you was beautiful to behold. And this brings to my eyes the tears you cannot shed.

Hugs to you.

Thank you Ruth.

It all started right here, with a bit of serendipity, and then it grew.
Such a thing could happen only once.

Bittersweet, you know, bitter that it has ended and sweet that it happened at all.
