Silence reigns through halls embellished in tapestries of yesterday. A multitude of colors cascade over dreams of tomorrow. Echoes carry through out abandoned corriders once filled with magical moments of grandeure. Mystical bands play to the ghosts of what once was, only to be heard by empty ballrooms filled by the elite of the past. Laughter resounds on cobblestone paths through gardens of memories. Fountains begin to crumble into the dusts of today, but yet, if you listen closely you can still hear the music.... and the band plays on. 01-20-02 On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. ~Me~ (I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance~Garth) [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (01-21-2002 09:44 AM).] |

  (sigh) Sooooooo hauntingly beautiful, sweet friend, yes, the memories will always remain, and the songs and voices will always be held and cherished close to the heart wherever we travel! (kiss on cheek) I love it, sweet friend, this is wonderfully spellbinding, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Your poem, I am sure, conjures up different memories in your readers. But, I as one who has entered the serious senior citizen stage of life am well attuned to your words. Abandoned corridors, empty ballrooms evoke strong feelings, and a yearning to do it all over again. |

Lovely, lovely, lovely! It took me to the great hall in the Von Trapp house in the Sound of Music. Then to others I've seen in other movies and read of in books. Empty halls with but ghosts of memories floating and flitting. Enjoyed the read, the melancholy, the reverie. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Laughter resounds on cobblestone paths through gardens of memories. Gentle Spirit, this is so lovely, it is going into my library. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
