THE NOVEL It is not easy, After so long Seeing you like this. The silence of the setting Screams out to me, In anguish. Memories, long hidden, In the recesses of my mind, Make their escape Into my consciousness. I am unashamed of the tears As they flow freely, Down my cheeks. How open and honest You always were, Now, more than ever, Your face is a book. The chapters Show great hardships, Grievously, I added to these. I pray, hopefully, I am forgiven for this. The book is a novel, Love and compassion filled. It shows physical And emotional strength, And an unquestioning search For knowledge. Each page is full Of the undying and unchecked Expressions of your gentle caring, For others, and myself. How unselfishly You have bared your soul. As you lay before me How well I see, That on reaching The final chapter Of this book, It speaks of peace, In DEATH. I be me BUT who does me be? |

Dear Spirit. How touching. Sometimes we long to rewrite some of those chapters, after it is too late. They have gone beyond our reach. Joyce ( I have been having computer troubles and unable to get in to read or post, so don't think I am ignoring you wonderfule people. I have a technician coming Tuesday. Hope he will fixt it. I am so frustrated.) Joyce |

You write so descriptivly and this poem flows beutifully. Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |
