Stairstep Thoughts Little memories running through my mind trickling like wine flying like time… Roaming hills on crisp fall nights away from cities and tell-tale lights… Away from people and their thoughts recall scented roses recall forget-me-nots… Walking sandy dunes still alone oft dreaming of forgotten homes… Hoping thoughts will pave a way to new dreams just for today… Wandering through this field of thought remembering that love can't be taught… Someday I'll watch anew the splendor of love just between two… but for now memories run free of how easy time use to be… and now all that's left for me is the loneliness of my deserted sea. circa 1969 ©KRJ 24 June 2000 |

wOw! I loved this one...kinda mysterious, yet true about how life kinda keeps going and going. It is sad that we can't freeze time whenever we want to, huh. Good poem! |

Sunshine~ This is just a power packed piece. I love the formatting that ties it all in to the title. *What to do ???? Maybe we'll eventually work into a Book-A-Month club ! Hmmmm ... now there's an idea ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

climbing...aw, I am tired... climbing... climbing... climbing... climbing... climbing... no wonder they make elevators these days .... but then the beauty is still in the classic staircase...isn't it??? Wonderful poem this, Karilea, I am glad I read this one... I have been away from the 'net' a few days and suddenly there is so much I missed... regards, sudhir.
