When I'm Gone When I never write again you shall not even know I am gone, not for long ~ no, and I am not wrong, you'll not know it, when I'm gone. When I never write again, can't imagine the where or when, but if it should happen, then, won't be for long ~ no, and I am never wrong... for I have a beautiful dream you see, of writing in calligraphy ~ for a scribe of God is what I'll be... and I am not wrong, you'll not know it when I am gone. For in your dreams I'll come to you and softly muse you with a song or two, leading your fantasies to sway away, to guide you in your dreams this day ~ no, you'll not know it when I am gone. If, for a moment, you seem alone seek the Sun then you shall see a brilliant little reminder of me, strong enough to melt the stone, yes, and I am not wrong… you'll not know it when I am gone. ~*~ 01.05.01 revised 08.08.02 |

not KNOW? *smile* The power went out--in my room only. And yeah, I know, sometimes a tripped breaker is just a tripped breaker, but the timing was actually ...trippy.  ? OH. You'd have to know why that's weird. Our last conversation...she was taking me to task about getting my ass out of bed. Point made, Helen. Very cute.  |

Lady G - Louise does it all the time to me...our Bridget Shenachie, that was once here at PiP...so if you had a daily connection with our Helen, do know, it shall be so, and smile with her, each and every time. I wish you...better health. Sunshine |

Didn't mean to go on about me. (mine is just a quarterly nuisance) just one of the many things she and I went on about--we shared the same sardonic humor about life's little nasties as well. The stories! The laughter through tears... I will hear her voice forever...  |

Remembering dear Helen through your poignant words, dear Karilea. Yes, there are the dreams that make it seem as if no separation has occurred. It's a gift, so precious. Love, Margherita |

Well, I have no favorites on this subject - other than Helen of course. I think it's wonderful that everyone is writing to/for/about her, and beautifully so . . . so I'm just going to add this to everyone's piece so you'll know I was here, read, and experienced again, the tears for her... jimmy |

To not know and still remember. There's the ache. Thank you Karilea for such a thoughtful recall. |
