so far removed from reality of shovelfuls of tossed earth on shiny brass boxes and the irony of the finalty of insertion into a tunnel of eternity "from whence we came, we go again" watching in disbelief as they fall like dominoes and leaving flowers left to die in honor of the dead and the mid-morning echoed memories of the voices once so soothing and the touch I cannot feel and I weep and walk the floors alone-- nobody's baby anymore... |

Well darn the irony of it all anyway! Reminded me of that song, "she must be somebody's baby" Things are never as they seem or as they appear to be are they? Made me sad to read this, but you wrote of that empty feeling so well. Life can be a deserted beach sometimes. Take care Serenity. |

Death and loss are a tragic thing...I have experienced it many times...and I will never get used to it...the loss of a lover can be equally as tragic. [This message has been edited by Magnus (edited 11-05-2001).] |

This reminds me of a poem I wrote many years ago called Motherless Child... only this is far better!!! *S* I had no comprehension of the concept "succinct"... still don't. *S* However... I do understand. This aches with loss, serenity... and is beautifully written. |

Sadness and loss flows with a steady heart in this poem. My heart goes out to you, dear one. **hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
