Goodbye I’ve taken down my gallery. To be replaced with furniture The cost was high in calorie. A wake of unknown overture It seems my ownership defunct My wife has signaled them passé They’re now a part of wills adjunct My children carry them away. It’s hard to say goodbye a dove A love I loved so many years It’s hard to say goodbye a love A passion and so many tears The furniture has left me cold It’s dark and cold without a soul I sit in revelry feeling old Like soup left cold in a bowl. What is left but butterfly themes? Babbling brooks and silver dreams. |

Ah Sy...the senior founding attorney of our office, retired, but still having retained his office, came in the other day and started taking down his pictures and other personal items. He is 93.... this hits home.... |

Oh Sy...This hurts...I was urgent at first look of title...but how selfish of me...for wanting you around...when you just want to stay the way you are...So much more you have to offer still...I love your butterfly verse and hope you find contentment in those silver dreams. For yours are so cherished above all with the {life} you give them! Big (Hugs)! Sincerely, Regina It's all in the mind |

Sy, the old pictures and furniture will always be new and fresh in memory.......memories are the gifts of the gods to those of us who choose not to forget! Loved this one from you, but I always do love yours!!! The road goes on forever, the stories never end, and people are the same the world over! |

Oh dear, I remember sending you an email wishing to see them all! Oh well, guess it will give me an excuse to visit there one day, to go digging in the attic Sy? They were from the canvas of your mind, and that will be there forever to share.  Thank you for sharing this one.~*~ Carpe' Diem ~*~ |

Nobody can take those dreams away, Sy. I'm sad that your gallery is gone but glad that the children have them. Something of you that I am sure they will always cherish. (((HUGS))) |

Such a beautifully tender and sorrow-filled piece Sy. You're tugging these old heart strings with these dear sentiments. Wonderful flow and phrasing my friend. Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |

Everytime I move, I come across something that triggers old memories. I 've left my artwork scattered, and haven't a single painting on my walls. Someone else is hopefully enjoying them now. But there are times when I want one or two of them back, just for the memories. And as for poetry? I'd enjoy sitting by your babbling brook to watch butterflies any day of the week. |

For Sy ... our Artist of words and wisdom ... painter of rhyme scheme dreams. Poetic Justice These blue walls are your gallery These pages your canvas of rhyme Your brush strokes become from thy gifted pen ... Engraving your verse in the realm of forever's time You paint for us a visions sign Thy words are framed in archives of gold Poetic jewels of wisdom and truth A treasure chest of a prophet's secrets poetically told An artist of endless possibilities A poet of unending inspiration With thy ink of wise you pen humanity You have my unending respect and admiration You painted butterfly wings on lonely moth You planted her a garden of Eden in which to fly You pen us a paradise of Shangri-La Now I wish to write thy name across the sky Through your eyes ... we dare to dream By your words ... ever held in highest esteem ~~~~   This painting is called "Favorite Poet"  *winkiewinkie* Love ya Stinky I'll meet ya in LaLa land [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 11-10-2001).] |

As a packrat, I can't imagine giving anything so special away. But, at least you can still see them at your childrens houses. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
