       All That Should Have Been

Our love was provocatively undeniable,
yet so sadly challenged by a world of
infinite conflict and separation,
and all those things that compel
our lives beyond my power to choose
   or change,
for  we walk two roads of separate
evolution on far distant shores of this
one grand Autumn sky of profound
   immensity,
beneath the same mystic moon
that dances forever with the drifting
clouds and tremulous stars down
   the rolling years of Time;
what I still possess are only the
   finest memories
of once having been with you ...
and then I can’t but smile, looking
deeply into yesterday's dreams of
all that 'should have been.'

Your poetry stirred up a memory I conjure up from time to time when nothing else will make me smile.

Thanks for that friend.

88's to you with respects.

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".

Sometimes the memories are sweeter than the time we mourn for were in reality. Best to you, Jo
