     The Mystery of a Rose

I was once a shadow
stumbling in a dream
down the rolling years;
but now, my love
has grown wings
to sail beyond the moon
along the comet's trail
over star-bright skyways
  of eternity
where memories of you
shall remain forever fresh
and lovely, and deliciously fine
as the infinite mystery of a rose.

It is to the memories such as this that leaves a wonderful taste in your mouth and your eyes glazed toward the heaves. Very good, Bruce.

At a cocktail party, one woman said to another,
'Aren't you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?'
'Yes, I am. I married the wrong man.'

Bruce, pain has given you wings to fly with your beautiful memories of her, and to paint poetry even more exquisite than before. I am sorry about your pain, but glad you have the comfort of the memories.
