we looked for the joie de vivre in each others eyes found it indulged ourselves with no regret locked in on it we both just knew this was it the supreme moment in time our time in the sun oh, little did we know we shoulda, oughta checked the weather forecast for nasty dark clouds hammered us with treacherous fury thunder and lightning and then a blackness our world disappeared it was as though we were walking on our graves bound to catch up with us it did propriety called for you you had no choice but to answer it . . . ©March 9, 2013 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways . . . ~*~ |

we looked for the joie de vivre in each others eyes found it Well, dear Jerry, isn't this one of the most beautiful ways of finding our soul-mate? As you so powerfully express, life's peaks of joy seem so often too short, oh but to have them known! I want to share with you the quote I have read first thing this morning: "Le rire, la danse et la joie sont les trois archanges qui nous conduisent vers Dieu" - Nikos Kazantzakis "Laughter, dance and joy are the three archangels who guide us towards God" We must make it last as long as possible, but when the dark clouds approach, we may find refuge in the shelter made of memories. Beautiful verse. Margherita |

we shoulda, oughta checked the weather forecast for nasty dark clouds hammered us with treacherous fury thunder and lightning and then a blackness Sometimes we know the weather forecast but we ignore it and get caught in the rain. I really enjoyed your words Jerry as always. ~Victoria |

what if we check it but the weatherguys and gals are wrong anyhow? Nothing is certain in love/life, but uncertainty..just carry an umbrella |
