I saw an old friend this morning yet it seemed we had nothing to say. We stopped and said our pleasantries then went on about our day. We used to laugh, we used to smile, and helped each other through our tears. We've seemed to let those days slip by through out the passing of years. Ah- I remember those days so well buried deep in my heart. Yet I can't quite seem to recall what it was that ever made us part. Time often moves so quickly and friends each go their seperate way. Today I saw an old friend and it was sad~ we had nothing left to say. On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free. |

Yes it is sad, but sometimes we move on with our lives, and not everyone follows. It is sad that so many paths cross but never end at the same destination. Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox |

Yes, what happened I do not know, but now I don't see my old friends. In fact I don't even call and talk with them. I talk with complete strangers on a computer and find I'm closer to them than to the ones I use to call friend. Your poem made me think and it is mostly my fault cause I've closed my self off from most of the outside world. It is a sickness of the mind but at least I have those on my screen. |

Wonderful sentiments you've captured in this Gentle Spirit ... I too, know this feeling well. It's odd how someone who was so very much a part of our lives can drift into a stranger over time. Very nicely written, gave me pause for thought this evening.  Best wishes, /Kit |

As I am still fighting with this browser, I just wanted to take a quick moment to let you all know that I thank you for your kindness, and wish I had more time to answer you all. Still just a tad frustrated, but thanks all. |

Gentle Spirit, this is a touching and sad subject, which you've tackled very well. Gentle smiles Kethry Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |

I could have written this. I felt the saddness and heartbreak. I have experienced this very thing as I'm sure have many others and it's truly painful. Sad but fantasic work. Tessa |

Kethry, SS, thanks much to both of you. It is always sad when there is nothing left to say. Again, my thanks. |
